Donations?

Some blog and forum owners in addition to displaying ads and affiliate offers also have a "donate" button asking site visitors for "support."

One site I noticed [they thanked their donors on the homepage] had received only a few donations and the amount donated wasn't even enough to pay for hosting. This had me wondering whether asking for donations should even be considered as a monetization method.

Have any of you tried asking for donations to make some money on your sites? What were the results?
 
I have always had a thing about asking for donations, and although I do feel like this is a venture that might be a little different where it could probably be considered closer to a loan, I am still a little weary. I guess I could not say that I would turn them away if they came on their own, but that is unlikely so I would need to ask.
