//but then you're back to an instance where wealthier fans are getting a perk that's meant to be for everyone regardless of financial status,//
Wow, I wish I was that wealthy as you paint me to be.
But yes, to be honest I want that *one* small perk. Because I put my money in this archive, so why do I have to come *begging* to get an account?
See, the thing is I get that you want to be "unbiased toward everyone in fandom, regardless of their financial means." But this situation boils down the fact that my contribution is not worth more than no contribution at all. So why contribute at all, if it obviously doesn't mean anything to you?
And I get that this is probably a culture clash thing, but sorry, from my point of view your behavior is insulting. It's fairly incomprehensible that we even have to discuss this.
Also, if you plan to open 2000 accounts and there are probably about 300 members who still don't have an account, why don't you just give them one? It's not like there's nothing left afterwards.
//Honestly? I think you're worrying for no reason -- you might or might not get an account right away, but you will get one, so why all the stress?//
Because I remember the DW thing very well? Because I really don't want to go around having to find somebody to spare me an invite? It's work, time-consuming and basically it's annoying. And I didn't even put any money into DW. But I did so with this project, because I actually believe that it's a good thing and I'd love to stay involved in some way - but having to come here to be put on an a list and maybe get an account by *accident* is just wrong.
