I was just wondering how you guys are paying for your hosting and your website maintenace. I think the staff or administrators should put a small google ad at the top or the side of the front page. That way we could click it and you get something like a couple cents per persons IP. (it adds up fast, ive tried them)

Its just an idea and the admins works so hard to give us this nice community forum. So I think we should do the google ads. Theyre not ugly ads or flashy just nice plain words so its not annoying. I think it would be cool. It would help pay for the domain name, and could give some extra dough to the admins for their time.

The free flash kits don't really make us money... In fact we often have to postage costs to forward them onto other staff members.

We normally always keep the kits so we can perform more testing in the future and help support members with questions, problems...

Hosting is NOW fortunately paid for by GameYeeeah. Before then (a few months ago) we had to pay for hosting ourselves.

Then there's domain names, import tax, postage costs, prostitutes...

It's already be said loads of times... there will never be ads on GBAtemp. The money comes from the staff's own pockets.


There already is an ad - on, the right side of the main page is an ad for gameyeaah.

I usually block all ads, but I turned off the filtering s/w to check if there were any on here after reading your post.

Nice ads, lol - there is no such thing, and text only ads are even worse, as they are harder to filter out (which is why more and more scum, sorry "marketting" agencies are using them).
