EDIT: www.x-h2o.com/payments.php
Our ads (ebay and Google) revenue has gone way down this month (thanks diggler:rant
and while we still have plenty of money for a few months, I'm trying to stay ahead of the game.
Would you pay $1/month (or maybe $10/year) to have no ads shown at all?
It would be voluntary, and if you don't, then the site stays EXACTLY stay the same. I might be able to swing some extra pm storage as well. (and if anyone wants a rainbow or star or whatever by their name, we can do that too)
Anyway, just trying to get a feel on this as a possibility for down the road if the revenue doesn't come back up. (it's been dropping over time)
For anyone that doesn't know the history, we started out with paid advertisers, but that was like pulling teeth to get companies to advertise. Then we switched to donations only which worked great but I always felt bad asking for donations. Then I switched to Shoppingads (ebay ads) which was amazing for a few months, then tapered off. Then I did the t-shirts to help which did for a while but is a ton of work for me since only a couple get ordered at a time.
Hold the suggestions on raising money like auctions and raffles and stuff, I've heard that all before but this thread is about this specific topic. (and no you don't need to pm me about it either, I get waaaayyyy too many pm's)
