I am probably going to donate at some point. May I ask, no matter how small or large, do you become a supporter?

Not a chance, heh.

Why not just switch to a free forum software?

There are dozen and dozens of them.

I've already purchased a lifetime license of this forum software.

Donations pretty much go to keeping this site free of ads so it stays up and running at high speeds.

I have yet to set up subscriptions too. They will automatically allow a user to be moved into the Supporter category.

So, in reference to earlier:

. May I ask, no matter how small or large, do you become a supporter?

The amount is usually up to you, but with the Paypal system it's recommended to be a minimum of $5.00.

It would suck to see ads on the site.

But it also sucks that you have to pay for domain name, hosting bills, etc.
