Personally I don't want to open an account, i'd rather just link one of our modders and have a simple button. Donations are cool but I do what I do for the sport and love of web editing, even if it is you guys pulling the strings :)

Okay, you lost me. You want to collect donations, but um, you don't want a paypal account? You can use a 'simple button' but you will still need a paypal account. Far as I know . . .

Nope, the website I did for gaming mod's is requesting that I open one to collect donations. I thought about it through the process and can't find a reason why I would want or need to manage money .. I have two dollars in my wallet and my change jar isn't filled up yet. I like money but I think it will be the start of more issues later on ..

I'm just saying personally myself.. I don't want to manage money, however if they want to open an account I will set the form to donations as well.

Ahh sooo! Okay, I though it was for you, but now I understand it is for the web site you are setting up. Yup, yup, yup. I would make whomsoever is handling the web site when you are finished open and/or manage the account. Still, a simple WFB form with PayPal would be the way to go. Easy peasy! Just use their PayPal info. :D
