[corocoro]

''Sometimes it's better to start again than fix things'' if you know what I mean...if you think hard you will know what it has to do with this matter....

You want me to delete your account?

[MENTION=10115]kactaplb[/MENTION] Why AS doesn't accept donations is because of the content that is hosted.

 

[Mato]

[~SnowAngel~]

please you guys.. don't gang up on mato x_x her intentions are well, but there's no need to be mean if you disagree :f

[MENTION=17020]~SnowAngel~[/MENTION]: He/She is the one that started being offensive - we just replied in kind. Well, not as completely rude as she/he did, but the same principle applies.

sorry dont want to backread but was there a reason why as doesnt accept donations? and as long as ads arent the annoying popup kind, noone should have room to complain for a free service.

Donation has many drawbacks, but for one, donation will never be able to cover the cost of operating AS. Even one third of the cost is a long long shot. Then we will have to seek 2nd source of income, and non intrusive ads is the way to go. We believe that if we make enough via those ads, then no donation necessary.

Of course, the ads will be regulated: no erotic ads outside of hentai section and no ads that spread malwares or even spam more annoying ads when you click them

please you guys.. don't gang up on mato x_x her intentions are well, but there's no need to be mean if you disagree :f

I didn't, I was just being straight and try to explain to my best ability.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm personally im fine with the ads... considering how the ecchi stuff stays in the ero section~

 

[Kasumi]

I agree. I barely notice them on the front page since my eyes are trained on the centre of the page anyway.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm front page... i usually just look at the latest posts xD So dont see the ads... they havent been all that colorful compared to the site anyway~

 

[Kasumi]

Yeah. Unless you're talking about the bright red Love-meter one. xD

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm did the admin confirm that the ads would still provide money even when closed?

Well i suppose some ads prefer more color... i would say that that would normally be more effective in attracting attention but considering how forums are usually somewhat dark in color (that i have seen) i suppose lighter colored ones would work fine too... for those anyway xD

Hmm did the admin confirm that the ads would still provide money even when closed?

The ads does not provide income when closed. We merely gave a choice for our user to turn it off where possible.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm ok then... i guess ill leave it open~

 

[nanashi1]

I have a bed feeling about this...

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm why? :/ Ads arent that bad are they?

 

[Kasumi]

So long as they don't become the in-your-face kinds, all should be okay I think. But that's just my opinion.

All right then, leaving them open.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Lol those that have sounds are annoying too... they usually come with some crappy video so that doesnt help slow internet either...

from the instant i visited the site my (automated) add/pop-up blocker blocked over 200 advertisements/rederectors, even thought the adds here arnt that oppressive,
i can always disable addblocker if it isnt alowed

but i will still block all forced pop-up links/redirectors, since i hate them more than, a add bar somewhere in the middle of the fora

 

[Power2All]

None.
Set up a Donation store and sell donation packages through PayPal ?

from the instant i visited the site my (automated) add/pop-up blocker blocked over 200 advertisements/rederectors,

200+ BLOCKABLE ITEMS aren't the same as 200+ ads. It just means that the site has over 200 elements that your ad blocker can block. It can be anything from a static image to a Javascript file. It does not have to be an ad.

Anyway, please try to avoid necro-ing old threads without a good reason. Closed.
