Well, if you can't convince your father, show him this post

Donating is easy and can take only minutes. Everything is totally confidential, no credit card information is given out. Even if you still don't trust online transactions, if you can get your hands on a pre-paid debit or credit card where you can buy at a store, I suggest that. We currently have 95+ donators to the website. I myself have donated $10 and I can testify everything is easy, and legitimate. The minimum donation for your son to receive the premium benefits is $10, but we accept all donations. These are the benefits of donating:

1. It earns you a "Green" username
   
2. You recieve a custom user title
   
3. Access to the Private Premium member section
   
4. Earn much more respect from myself and other staff
   
5. Video Avatars (Future Add-on)
   
6. 500 PM Box
   
7. Access to other hacks and such in the future
   
8. 10% discount on all vBplaza items
   

Donating is really cool because its a one time deal, the premium status does not expire. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. If you would like to email me, first PM (private message) me.
