I had a similar problem with the donations system last month. At the time, the site itself was also having some problems, so I dropped it, but here goes ...
Is there another way I can donate, that is other than the on-line donation system (which simply does not work when I try it) ???

Thanks for trying ;-) What exactly happens when you attempt it?
Amazon works for most people. We wish we could offer more, and at one time we did offer Paypal. But when Paypal was acquired by Ebay a few years ago, they changed their terms of service. Any site with adult content had their account closed. This adult content is this very Message Board, there is no explicit adult content elsewhere on the site. And for that we pay a price. We're the only large Amsterdam site that offers members an opportunity to openly discuss sex and the permitted/tolerated drugs---the topics that many people come to Amsterdam for. The others cannot host such topics because they would lose their Paypal and Google ads revenue (Google has similar rules). So we're stuck with our current (quite awful) text and banner adverts, that most people ignore, and why should they bother, anyway? We agree, it's crap, but it helps pay the bills.
I am sure many businesses here that utilize Google ads--hotels, restaurants, etc., would be happy to advertise here, but sadly Google imposes their prejudices upon them as well, they cannot place their adverts on this, the largest Amsterdam centered site...so we're stuck with a cheesy porn advert network.
Amazon, while also based in the USA along with the others, has so far been far more mature about the issue (imposing USA-centered views upon the rest of the world). We're quite grateful to them.

Yes any word on how to donate?
I P.M.ed Wim and asked if I could donate through the mail or even offered to hand it to him when I go over in March. Over a month and no response. I am not some psycho stalker just wanted to thank you and the rest of the crew for all the good info and great forum. I cannot imagine the work and cost that goes into maintaining this site but a response would not have hurt. I don't get it...

Wim has been 'lying low' for quite a while recently. I guess he has personal stuff to deal with.
I imagine AX will answer your questions though.

We're currently without a processing service. They're not easy to come by now, for the relatively small volume involved with us (i.e., not $5000 per month).
Finding one who doesn't find our 'adult' content objectionable complicates the matter even further.
As soon as we have something together again, you'll be the first to know. Promise!

Just a suggestion - is there a friendly coffeeshop/smartshop you'd trust to receive donations for your site?
Since Paniked in particular seems to be doing the rounds regularly, he could be the one to pickup the
donations, or equivalent in units of 1gram. Might not do the site much good, but I'm sure it would help
the weekly weed report along...
Or maybe a postbox/maildrop somewhere convenient. A hotel perhaps? (leaving a letter for Mr Paniked...)
It seems most of the posters here actually visit Amsterdam, and that's when they find this board most useful,
so are most likely to want to donate, surely there's somebody's mailbox we could stuff a fifty into?
Or a bank a/c that a cash deposit could be made to by walking into a convenient branch, that would work, wouldn't it?
I was going to suggest a friendly kamer lady, but I'm not quite that dumb....
