  <div class="box pad donation_info">
    <p>
      <?= SITE_NAME ?> has no advertisements, is not sponsored, and
      provides its services free of charge.
      For these reasons, <?= SITE_NAME ?>'s financial obligations can
      only be met with the help of voluntary user donations.
      Supporting <?= SITE_NAME ?> is and will always remain
      voluntary.
      If you are financially able, please help pay <?= SITE_NAME ?>'s
      bills by donating.
    </p>

    <p>
      <?= SITE_NAME ?> uses all voluntary donations to cover the
      costs of running the site, tracker, and IRC network.
      These costs represent the hardware the site runs on (e.g., servers, upgrades, fixes),
      and recurring operating expenses (e.g., hosting, bandwidth, power).
    </p>

    <p>
      No staff member or other individual responsible for the site's operation personally profits from user donations.
      As a donor, your financial support is exclusively applied to operating costs.
      When you donate you are paying <?= SITE_NAME ?>'s bills.

      <p>
        Be reminded that when you make a donation, you aren't "purchasing" Donor Ranks, invites, or any <?= SITE_NAME ?>-specific benefit.
        When donating, you are helping <?= SITE_NAME ?> pay its
        bills, and your donation should be made in this spirit.
        The <?= SITE_NAME ?> staff does its best to recognize <?= SITE_NAME ?>'s financial supporters in a fair and fun way,
        but all Donor Perks are subject to change or cancellation at any time, without notice.
