Title: Ad Revenue...please whitelist us
Post by: shadav on July 17, 2020, 08:48:03 PM
ok look....I hate ads, you hate ads, we all hate ads

but unfortunately it is a needed evil to create income to support this site and J.I.M.

I promise not to bombard you with ads....

there are only 3 ads on the forum
in the footer (which is rather large, but it's in the footer so who cares)
at the top of topic pages (a standard 728x90 banner)
a small ad on our in house video player
and that's it....
I don't plan on adding any more, because I hate ads!!!!

I hate ads just as much as anyone else.....but, the site needs to create income in order to pay for the server/hosting fees and domain name(s)
and then as well any extra gets donated to J.I.M.

basically....whatever revenue that this site creates....half of it goes to J.I.M.'s paypal account....or if it is enough to cover the costs of running/maintaining this site, then whatever renue there is minus the costs of running this site goes to J.I.M.

if you aren't aware, I host all of the Foamy The Squirrel Episodes here....I only post the youtube videos to try and help J.I.M. earn revenue, since I myself am not able to do that fully (yet)
if you notice below the posted youtube video there is a "If the above doesn't play, click here" .... that is the episode being hosted here on this site

years and years ago, before youtube was really a thing.... J.I.M. had asked for help in hosting foamy, so I contacted him and got his approval....afterwards he went with youtube as it had a bigger audience (chance for new viewers) and later it offered revenue....but of course youtube has rules and limits and often meant that he had to edit his content to meet their guidelines
I again contacted him to make sure that he was still ok with me hosting his stuff, thankfully he was and is....

so you can always find his content here, in it's unadulterated state  =))

but that of course means that I am taking on a financial burden to continue to host all of the Foamy The Squirrel episodes....
but I do it to try and help spread the word of Foamy  :))
but without revenue from the site, that does become difficult....more so during these stupid covid times, while I have been out of work since March (tmi, I have autoimmune disorders and can not work)
So please, whitelist us on your ad blockers so we can try to earn a few pennies while you roam the stie....

And more so now as well since youtube has really been giving J.I.M. a hard time and deleted about half of his channel then demonetized him....though they may have remonitized the channel, but still half of his shit is gone! (fear not, it's still here ;) )
and if you are able to toss a dollar at my paypal (https://paypal.me/TheShadavNetwork) and a dollar at J.I.M.'s paypal (https://www.paypal.me/illwillpress)
seriously, only $2 out of your pockets can go a long way for both this site and J.I.M.'s creations.....

Thank you
