| I know it's nothing new, but I've been thinking about buying it. I do have mixed opinions about it though. The price ain't bad, really cheap if you ask me, but I also get this weird feeling that it's not really great that you actually have to pay to add more to your favorites and change colors of your profile status bar. But that's just my opinion. |
| Help the industry and buy Blu-rays and DVD's. Noragami is the best anime ever.  |
| I'm not too keen on supporting a site that's perpetually stuck in 2004... |
| Favourites kinda lose their novelty anywho after they extend to 20-30 items tbh. Supporter offers some extras that many fellas consider to be kinda fun and neat, but the point of it doesn't really seem to be the added utility or convenience, rather it's just you supporting the site and getting a few bonuses in the process. So it all boils down to whether you want to support MAL or not, y'know, as the name suggests. |
 |
| Seems pointless unless it prevents you from being banned. |
| pay to stand out more with your very own custom text below your username and to change colours in your profile, pay more to impress people :):):) |
  |
| I wanna get it just to put Rabu Raibu as my second title, but my bank account is always pulling 0s, so I'll have the title like every other month |

| I wouldn't buy it because I haven't seen this site get any better for ages. They don't even have proper ban system implemented. Only good thing is database, otherwise it's just simple forums. |
 |
| I don't really like monthly subscriptions especially if it's just for an adblock. You can add your forum title by editing your avatar with photoshop or something like that. Like if they make it a one-time purchase or whatever it's called and add something that's actually useful to it I may think of it. (of course for a higher price). |
| If people wanna throw in a little cash to support MAL then I say good for them. Why would I have a problem with people supporting a site I enjoy visiting? |
 |
| I'd like to get it some day. Not because of the ads, but because of the extra features it offers. |

Other than that, you can support Mal by not using ad block (not sure how this works, but everyone says that adds help the site as well) |

I would buy if it would prevent me to get banned. (banned twice in 2.5 weeks) 1 ban was 9days and the other one 4 days "Hey look at me, I've only been banned once. Check me out guys, it was really hard to spam. Fuck guys, check it out I've been banned before guys, but guys did you know I got banned? Well I'd just thought I'd tell about my ban, you know that myanimelist punishment. I would tell you more guys but I've been banned you know and no ban discussion amirite? That's why I won't talk about this ban guys, so anyway I better wrap up this ban that I got so I better stop talking about this ban, alright I'm going to leave now but don't forgot about that ban I received. Okay guys, you remember about that ban? Well I think you would remember about that ban I received because I'm a total bad boy and a ban christened member of myanimelist. Peace out I'm going to reflect on this ban I received." @ OP I personally think it's a great idea for people that wanna support the site and don't like ads. Honestly I just think some people are trying to excuse their petty adblock extension in this thread but yeah I think it's a great idea, I'm even tempted to get supporter. |

| MAL doesn't deserve the support imo. |
 |
| Begging is something that lumpenproletarians do. I do not support lumpenproletarians, therefore I don't support MAL BlackFIFA19 said: ^^^I wish i could get more then 10 favorites without paying for it |

| I've been on this site since 2008 and it's my favorite website and i would like to support it in every way that i can. And if donating will make this site better in the future then why not? Also i can afford it so i don't mind that much. |

Me too, but I remember they were saying this many times few months ago. Admins were saying not to block adds on the site because it helps, in a way |
|
| inb4 the lock It's just a desperate method that MAL is/was trying. And that doesn't come as a surprise. MAL barely attends users feed-back. |
| Today they say you're crazy, tomorrow they will say you're a genious. |
| I didn't pay for it when I started and I'm not paying for it now. I'll just make a spreadsheet again if when MAL shits itself. |
 |
Frag- said: MAL barely attends users feed-back. Barely? They don't listen to feedback at all. |
|
| It's a nice little feature for users who want to support the site. Kinda jelly the mods and admins get it for free, though. :< |
 |
| It's literally called "MAL Supporter." It's not for you, it's a donation for MAL with a few small incentives. Do it if you care about MAL and its impressive database, no other reason. |
| Honestly, I'm not on MAL that much anymore nor do I love it enough to become a MAL "supporter". |
| Not a fan. But also not a hater. The personal forum titles are kinda nice but I don't care enough to get it. |
| It's good if you care about the site. The benefits aren't worth the price. InsaneLeader13 said: Adblock blocks the ad request, meaning those views that websites rely on for ad revenue goes down. I fail to see how ads on a site would help if you're not buying or investing in any of the advertised products or services. |
| It's supporter, not premium account. Bonuses are rather useless and imo shouldn't even be there. My reason for paying it is to, as name suggest, support site that I use for few hours every day. If you consider it just for extras, then imo it's not worth it. |
| The whole point of supporter is to give those who want to help support MAL, but don't want to have ads the option to do so. They get a few little extra things to make it a bit more worthwhile, but the point is just to help MAL financially. |
| using adblock is how you eventually contribute to shutting down a site tho its not like the ads are harmful, i have it whitelisted |
Kuraokani said: Maybe if they added a way to change the layout of your profile. With the way it is now though, I definitely don't think it's worth. I wouldn't pay if it was $1 a month tbh. Ardanaz said: I'm sure MAL makes plenty through ads. They are pretty high up in website traffic. The whole point of supporter is to give those who want to help support MAL, but don't want to have ads the option to do so. They get a few little extra things to make it a bit more worthwhile, but the point is just to help MAL financially. I would pay to support the site if I knew some of it went to the mods. I'm not saying that you guys do this for money or anything, but I'm sure if there was compensation involved, there would be less... how to say it... bad mods(?) Edit: as I thought. A estimated 400,000 monthly from ads. Me supporting this site would be like supporting Facebook or PewDiePie (think that's how his names spelt) Tbh I would only buy it if you can't get banned if you do it. I don't want to support people I don't know. I use adblock on male because the ads on this site are cancerous and most of the times is 18+ or are viruses and lead you to malware sites |

| Well, I don't know, I don't have a credit card. When people requested an option without a credit card payment they added a paypal option.. which still requires a credit card, so I haven't had a chance to try it. I would actually pay for that cause I like to support things I like, but well, I can't. So I don't feel guilty for using AdBlock here. |

Kuraokani said: Takamura-sama said: Agreed,I looked at MAL one time while I was around my family and didn't have a ad blocker, a fu*kin' xvideos ad popped up! Luckily no one saw it but still! Ever since then, I use a ad blocker. Tbh I would only buy it if you can't get banned if you do it. I don't want to support people I don't know. I use adblock on male because the ads on this site are cancerous and most of the times is 18+ or are viruses and lead you to malware sites Also, instead of ads being there, I see a message that says something like, "we know ads are a pain but that's the way we fund this site"..... dude... every site that tracks other sites earnings say that MAL makes anywhere from 300,000-400,000 a month. On top of that, the dude who created this site has a profile picture of him hiking in the mountains! Like, "suh dude, this is how rich I am", and they ask us to support the "site". Pfff, greedy people man, smh. The mods should make some money! That way they would have a incentive to be good mods! I get banned like 3 times for some bs. Like, a week ago, I got banned for "spam"... on my own thread! With no warning! Know what I was doing? Replying to people's comments. Apparently, if you make a new post everytime you reply, it's considered "spam". I didn't know that! I got no warning either! Ahhhh, sorry for the rant lmao damn i didnt know you had to be rich to climb a mountain |

Just because something's fun, doesn't make it right. You're being toxic man. How about we have a discussion. That's fun right? I mean, you are browsing 'casual discussion'. yeah man we're having one right now about mexicans and immigration and indians rn OT:I want MAL supporter to have 'pointless poster' under my name |
