You can preach all you want about money (the root of all evil) and ADs but it doesnt change the facts I have stated.
Why don't you suggest a better way for them to generate revenue then?

First of all donating is a volunteering action. You cant "not mind" something you do not have do in the first place. Second, I very much doubt you know what all the other LimeWire users think about donating to LimeWire, Inc. This is the first time I've seen anything like that on www.limewire.com and I visit about every other day or so. I'm guessing alot people still dont know....

You have no patience.
Patience has nothing to do with it.

According to Download.Com, 250,000+ people downloaded LimeWire last week. Of those 250,000 people, less than 50 of them (0.0002%) donated.

The donation revenue model doesn't work period.
