The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Do game mods count? My wife and I both donated to Natural-Selection back when it was a nightly occurance for us both. Some really good times with that game.
honestly my favourite game ever.
(though I dont know if you'd call it indie anymore)
I would say that a development house of only 11 people still classifies as indie. I personally prefer Darwinia over Defcon though. http://www.introversion.co.uk/

I actually found a brand new copy of Darwinia at Big Lots last week for 2 dollars. Brand new and sealed!
I ended up buying it for the keychain and the poster though. I installed it and it just didn't appeal to me.
Hmm... the only indie game I can remember supporting financially is Nexus War, a browser based RPG along the lines of Urban Dead, except with less zombies and more crazy giant war between the forces of order, chaos and free will.
I think just spreading the word and talking about some indie games is often more effective then sending them a dollar or two to support them.
I remember reading something about Introversion and when they first came out with uplink. From what I remember, they spread it around on forums devoted to hacking and the like and the hits on their page went up exponentially for a while. Apparently, they had to completely change the way they were taking orders in order to keep up with the unexpected demand.
Each year at Gama/CMP we run the IGF to support these types of games, on which I'm a judge. There are a lot of really cool indie efforts out there, so many that I seem to always stumble across a gem or two I had not heard about before. And some of these games are very polished. Like Bit Blot's Aquaria. Or my favorite from this year's comp, Queasy Games' Everyday Shooter.

I do not, however, support shitty indie games... just because they're indie games doesn't mean I should like it no matter how much it sucks.
Continue.
Sorry, I know a few people that insist that feel they're doing a good deed by playing the HELL out of a shitty indie game, only because it's indie.
Now playing: Teardown and Baldur's Gate 3 (co-op)
Sunday Spotlight: Horror Tales: The Wine
I would say there's a big difference between playing and paying ;D
Crimsonland just got my money too. What an awesome game!

Cave Story!
The two pinnacle examples of awesome indie games.
I never asked for this!
Same can be said about music.
Support what you like, and what deserves it. That's about all there is to it, whether indy or not.
It's nice to see a fellow fan. Hit me up anytime you want to play. It'd be nice to play with someone from PA.

I absolutely love uplink and defcon though.

Let 'em eat fucking pineapples!

its a great way to waste time
Bought so fast, back when it was even cheaper.
If they ever got a multiplayer team mode on that, I think I would have a stroke from pure joy, and then gladly pay $60 for it.
Imagine you and your three buddies in a calvary charge with lances. So awesome.
(These are both freeware)

This is a awesome piece of software, more than worth your time.
Has M&B been updated lately? Last I saw, it hadn't been updated in going on a year now.
- The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (2017, colorized)
It may be the most fun racing game I've ever played.
I've been wanting to play Defcon again for a while. You guys should get in Vent to play, i'll join in as well.

Anyway, Bontago is fantastic. It's too bad there'll never be a new version.
Screenies:
Eets is also super really ultra great.
Anyway, Within a Deep Forest for more gameplay and less atmosphere.
But man, if he ever made a version of Knytt that randomizes item locations I'd play it daily. Daily.
