Server upgrade and advertising

[TrolleyDave]

The ad money is being used to pay for high class prostitutes?

We've had them for quite some time, we just needed the lube because the sizes of our epenises are so huge in width.

Damn you, make me a mod! I want free hookers too!

I'll even donate lube.

edit : And now there's blow too! I can supply some at very reasonable rates!

awesome idea

and i'm glad the site's back up to speed

This reminds me of MAD Magazine and how they finally decided to accept ads because the costs were rising. Before that, they were only doing ad parodies!

Hopefully we can get glossy paper here too! I like shiny things :]

As long as they're not animated ads, its cool. When the site gets real slow, I think you guys should definitely open up donations.

This old forum I used to mod racked in quite a bit of money from ads because it had a lot of members/guests who were kids. And you know kids, they click on anything.

Just an idea, but would it be possible to set up a donation based system, where members who donated get certain perks?

Terrible idea, there's enough elitism here as there is.

Seriously all donations, if they ever have them, should be completely anonymous and perk free.

Last thing we need is people saying "I donated I should be entitled to this blah blah blah"

I suppose that the perk-idea wouldn't quite work on GBAtemp because of the different atmosphere. :\ But still, a donation-system?

I don't see why anyone would have a problem with donations if they use the site alot, I'd donate a couple of quid a month if it was necessary. Don't agree with the perks thing tho, but then what kind of perks would you get? There's no download limit on here, no posting limit, there's like no limitations here at all so they can't actually grant you more so to speak.

You get a pretty pink name, a -10% warn, a friendly PM from a member of staff whose name is chosen out of a hat, and the nearest Admin will take you out for ice cream.

Hmmmm, you raise a very good point. Do we get to pick our own ice cream?

If your donation ends in a multiple of 2 you'll get vanilla, if it's a multiple of 3 you get chocolate, if it's a prime number you get strawberry, if it ends in a 0 you get mint, if it ends in a decimal (e.g. £3.27, £5.38, £0.54) you get rum and raisin. If you want to know about any other flavors feel free to ask and I'll look up the details.

 

[tj_cool]

bigger PM box?

 

[p1ngpong]

bigger PM box?

If I had a say I would be against even something like that.

Yeah maybe your right, would take more space
Was just a quick thought too
And staff has bigger PM box already

 

[adgloride]

bigger PM box?

With the number of PMs I've got in all the time I've been with GBATemp. I could easily deal with having a PM box with only 10 allowed.

Well what happens if our donation is a multiple of 6? Do we get twice as much as we do with 3? Because you know, even though it's a multiple of 3 it's still twice as big innit? And what multiple do I need to donate if I want the patch for M&L3 for the R4? Cos I is needzing it NAO! And what about making that iPlayer emu work on the R4, how much do I need to donate then?

If it's a multiple of six you get a mixture of vanilla and chocolate.

That wasn't part of the donation contract.

 

[TrolleyDave]

Well if that's no part of the donation contract then I'm not donating anything you tight bastard.

I know you have it and told everyone that I did just to stop them PMing you.

Oh please, the only PMs I ever get are from people asking me to apologise to them.

Perks, you say? How about a GBATEMP mail account?
