Blizzard just announced that they will no longer allow addon creators to charge or ask for donations for their addons.

This is the new changelog that the author of questhelper posted:

= Version 0.95 3/20/2009 ==


* Disable donation request.


Bad news, everyone. Questhelper's dead.


Blizzard just posted their new UI Add-On Development Policy at
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/policy/ui.html. The important part is
that I'm no longer allowed to ask for donations in-client. I know how
much I got before I added the in-client reminder - it doesn't pay a
significant fraction of the bills. And, as much as I like you guys,
good intentions don't pay for my apartment.


So that's it. I'm going to be finishing up and releasing v1.0, and I'll
keep posting incremental database improvements every month or two. I do
plan to keep QH functional, at least through the end of Wrath, and
probably further. I've got one or two features in mind that I want to
do for my own sake - a few achievements, mostly - but besides that (and
the v1.0 release) that's pretty much all there's going to be.


I would like to say: thanks to everyone who donated in the past. I
enjoyed working on this quite a bit, and I always enjoyed seeing
another donation come in - not just because of the money, but because
it meant that people wanted to use QH and wanted to keep it going.


Let Blizzard know if you don't like it, and if I can get an exception, I'll start everything right back up again
