So it's come to this.
So it's come to this.
I've tried subtle hints, I've tried the odd suggestion here and there, I've tried outright asking. I'm begging now. I'm on my knees. Why? I haven't got any money. Without money, this site ceases to exist. Without this site a lot of people will go "Oh bother, what am I going to do on a friday?" and probably get involved in drugs and stuff. The long and the short of it all is that I'm royally fucked as far as finances are concerned, and I'm going to start cutting back where I can. If I can justify this place existing, it will exist, but without money that isn't likely.
So I'm begging, absolutely begging you, please, give me some money. You can donate on the front page, send me cash in the post, cheques, postal orders, anything, just give me something. I don't want to close the site down. I've got big plans for it over the... next... undefined period of time (or whatever) and I really don't want to loose that chance for lack of something so simple as a few bits of fancy paper.
So there it is.

Well, I have a very good color laser printer at my work, so if you send me few bucks as example, I will send back more in time. Seriously talking, I can try to help you with the hosting, if the idea to move your projects onto Russian (or Moldavian) server doesn't scare you. I hope people will help you anyway, it would be a great shame to lose the GFWC. It's still the best Simpsons forum from all I know, even including our ISFF...

I sent you a small amount by PayPal. I hope it was received successfully.
What would you do if you found an angel on your balcony?

Re: So it's come to this.
Sorry I can't help by paypal but does the Googleads pay per click or per viewing?
And what's the deal with traffic theory?
Re: So it's come to this.
Per click.

Sometimes I feel like dressing up my Gaia avatar.
Feels kinda pointless since I don't actually do stuff at Gaia, so I'm putting it here.

Re: So it's come to this.
Ahh, stabbing. I got so caught up with all those spells, I forgot about my trusty Chef's Knife...
Okay, here's the deal. Every time you click on a Googlead, I will stab your enemies!
*slowly walks towards everyone, who all run away*
Hey! Where're you all going? I can't stab you without walking slowly towards you first!

Re: So it's come to this.
Count me in on the Google-clicking, too.
Edit: Will right clicking and opening in a new window work, or do I have to just click normally?

Re: So it's come to this.
Hmm... Whats a good excuse to pay £100 through paypal to my parents?
Seriously, without this site, I'm nothin. I've got a grand for my first car, but I guess I could give you a mere £100.
I only hope I'm not too late.
(Starts clicking googleads... Repeatedly...)
..... Or, how much exactly do you need?

Re: So it's come to this.
For the site, around £260 for one year. I'm up to about two thirds of that right now, thanks to you lot. I should be able to cover the rest myself if I can sort out some other bits and bobs of money. And get a job.

Re: So it's come to this.
I've reached the point where I feel that taking any more money would simply be greedy, as I'm essentially covering the costs of the server for the rest of the year, now. Thanks guys. You've been a big help.
