If such a fair, equitable condition cannot be met for a free, tasty item, then you're being an obnoxious brat. The addition of the donations was meant in a context wherein you would have at least provided something to the forum whose rules you are whining about, as opposed to just being a person using something for free and complaining about how said free service is run.
Do you know what this place would be without the users? A practically dead site. Better that users complain and compromises made, than administration dictate and users simply be forced to leave if they disagree.
So basically... Atheism+.

Edit: OMG! I DID A DOUBLEPOST! I haven't done that in like, a year or more.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
