Please add the window that pops up when you are in your SG entrance room to wdw.txt. It keeps resetting to the center of the screen which is obnoxious.
Thank you! ^_^

I'm basically asking that they hook up the SQL query function to a button somewhere on this site, and restrict it to pulling only information on the logged in user. Name a single situation where that action takes more than an hour to implement? Me calling it a "program" earlier was generous. :P

Yeah, that's what I picked up. And it's for sure possible. The question is if it's worth the devs' time to make it possible for us. Raise your uproar, and see if you can get what you want.
An experienced developer should be able to write a program to export a specific user's data into a CSV file in 5 minutes. If you get fancy with it and filter for specific information, and try to make it a format that will be easily importable into an other server , or if the database is particular messy/complicated, I can't see it taking more than an hour.
I'm happy with just a CSV. I'll do the leg-work of importing myself.

Yeah, what I had heard was that they HAD the database, a snapshot in time, but they intentionally deleted it for legal reasons and wiped the slate clean. However, this NEW database that all of our current characters are sitting on could CERTAINLY be exported. It's just data.
I don't care about the whole database. I would just like to be able to download the character/SG data specific to our account.

How about we drop the donation bit and sway the topic to: Can we get the ability to download base templates? Something that allowed you to import/export a base you've made so that you could do things like cloning your group on a different server for those groups who are cross-server OR for the solo person with a personal base that they'd like to do something similar with (because their friend is on a dif server, but they don't want to migrate totally. Obviously base storage contents wouldn't be able to transfer as there's likely some serious abuse chance there.
That's basically what I'm getting at. I realize the whole import bit could be a big ask though which is why I'm fine with just a simple dump of that portion of the database that I can use on my own server if ever needed in the future.

I would like to, as a donation reward if necessary, be able to download the portion of the database that pertains to my Supergroup base. Character data would be nice too. This would be great for transferring that data to a private server run by yourself or friends, or even another public server if one ever shows up that allows such a thing. This is also a nice insurance policy in case this server ever shuts/gets shut down.
It doesn't need to be pretty, but something that can be theoretically imported to another server's SQL DB, likely with some manual edits, would be much appreciated.
Edit: This topic isn't really meant to be about whether there should or shouldn't be donation perks. I would prefer they don't exist either, but *if* they do as has been hinted already, this is one that I'd pay for. I would prefer replies focus on the DB download rather than the donations as this is a feature I really, REALLY want to see.

I'm proud of this one because it uses so many different pieces from various sets.

I noticed I wasn't prompted to fill out a captcha or verify my e-mail when I signed up. Enabling those features was all I had to do on my free SMF and all bot spam ended immediately.

If this were any other video game community the first page would be full of vitriol. Half of this first page is filled with people offering to help. That's the CoH community I remember. Incredible...
