Hey All,
If you haven't noticed, there are advertisements that like to show up on this message board. There is a way for me to get rid of them so we can enjoy a message board without the popups and banner ads. The only this is that it'll cost me $139.80 per month to keep the site completely ad free. Being the poor person that I am, I would not be able to support many months of the ad free message board. So my question to you guys is: Would you be willing to donate money to keep this message board free of advertisements and popups?
Notice, I would not require anyone to pay money. People could donate money which would be used to keep this message board ad free. I would not keep any of this money for my personal uses, in fact, I would most likely not even have access to the money.
Here is how the ad-free system works. Notice that at the bottom of each screen is a button that says "Make a Donation." When you click on this button, you are taken to paypal where you can charge $6.99 to a credit card or your bank account. Once you do this, this message board receives 1 credit towards ad removal for a month. Every credit get's rid of 50,000 advertisements (ie everytime you load a page on this messageboard it counts as 1 pageview). The thing is that 50,000 pageviews would last all of a few hours on this message board because so many people are on here. However, if we have 20 credits (a credit counts as 1 donation of $6.99) then we can have 1 full month with no advertisements, no matter how many pageviews we use. If we can get enough people to donate money every month, then this message board would be advertisement free. If we can't get enough donations, then we'll have to live with the advertisements. So, it's up to you guys, would you be willing to donate money to keep this message board ad free?
Sincerely,
