That is completely illogical.  With that logic a pizza would still be 10,000 BTC because it would be 'unfair' to the guy who bought a pizza for that much, when that was the price of a pizza at the time.

Deflation is a thing, and I would enjoy hearing the opinion of a donor who genuinely believes that their donation of $50 in 2012 is equivalent to someone donating over $100k today.

Agreed. Great logical example Smiley

I think getting donor status is not on anyones mind any more. Just not worth it and nothing to gain.

it makes sense only if "donator" is no longer seen really as "donator" but "old user" or "bitcoin pioneer"
it differentiate users who were here soon enough so that 10 btc were worth 1 month of hosting

Just for the record, the 10 BTC donation was not an arbitrary number, but meant to be more or less equivalent to 1 month of hosting.
If anything, something like today's equivalent to 1 month of hosting would be an appropriate amount of money to be considered a donator.
My 2 cents. Cool

that makes sense. and even that would be much more (in fiat) now that it was before as I'm sure the forum is bigger now and needs a much bigger server
