I feel as if I am being forced to donate to ELTEN. I updated it on the PC side of things, and I have this dialog that comes up win I open it, and it refuses to go away. here’s what it says.
Dear Users!
This project cannot exist without your support, including financial one. Therefore, we kindly ask you to help us to pay for the server for 2021.
The required amount is 5000 PLN (about 1150 eur), and as of July 13th we have collected exactly 1131,62 PLN (about 250 eur). Thank you very much for all your support, but it is still only about a quarter of the cost.
We would also like to establish a foundation, an institution that will be able to manage Elten, apply for funding from Polish Government and represent the interests of the community. However, the establishment of such an institution is not free of charge. It would be ideal to establish a foundation at the same time and pay for the server from the founding fund, which would minimize costs. However, this would be possible only if we collected the necessary amount by the end of August.
Therefore, we ask all users to support this program, for which we thank you very much in advance.
Below you will find the information needed to perform the international transfer. At the same time, I invite you to follow the status of the collection on the forum "Elten Network". (group "Elten Development") in the thread "Financing for 2021".
To continue, press 3.

Yes, I pressed three like I was instructed to do, the program just closes out.
Okay, first of all, I do not mind donating. That’s not my problem. My problem is, that it will not let me on my account. It keeps bringing up this dialog I just showed you. I can not donate at this time, so I guess I’m not wanted on this network at all. Okay, be that way, that’s fine. Yes I can use the portable one, like I am now, but it’s the principal of it. Am I over reacting? probably. But it makes me feel bad win I get on a program, but I’m locked out because I can’t donate. It feels as if you guys are saying I’m not good enough to be on the network because I can’t donate. ahh well, guess I’ll be uninstalling this thing, no need to keep something that doesn’t work. Again, not saying they should not ask for donations. Nor am I trying to say this should be for free. God knows that servers and so on are not cheap. But to lock someone out of their account like this, and all but demand a donation puts a bad taste in my mouth. I am done. This is the last post on this blog. I can not get rid of my account, but I can and will be uninstalling this program. I’m really disappointed. I thought this would be cool. Anyway, there’s no changing my mind now. not at all. It sucks really, I made some cool friends here. I don’t add people to FB I don’t know, sorry.
