[QUOTE="Steverooo, post: 2686250, member: 9410"] [b]Market Research:[/b] Yes! No. No reason ties the two together. Internet access does not require Credit/Debit cards. === Interested in doing a little Market Research, anyone? ENWorld GS' customers will, initially, be almost exclusively ENWorld members... Go back through the totals on last year's donations (to the Server Fund Drive), and see what percentages of the totals came in through PayPal, Credit Cards, Debit Cards (if any), and Checks or Money Orders...

Again, I will offer you the use of my pocketknife as a quicker alternative. ;) :D It's something to think about, anyway... Want more data?
