The only way money is made from the ads is by clicking them.

However, it is against the Terms of Service of the Advertising company for me to ask for clicks or for people to click them repeatedly and will result in my account being terminated, losing all current and future payments.

If an ad interests you then feel free to click it as it will also benefit the forum. If you happen to find an ad which "interests" you daily then click them, but I'm not allowed to ask you to click them.

[icy wolf]

ok, are you allowed to tell us how much each ad makes ? so i can ask other people to click on the ads then ?

COME PEOPLE CLICK THOSE ADS ....

[Tweak]

Click the ads if they interest you..

And the amount varies.

[Tweak]

Unfortunately the ad account has been disabled.

At this time an appeal is pending but in the event it is unsuccessful all revenue will be lost (I had enough to cover a month's fees in there).

I will keep you updated.

[KerotheFox]

o.o oh no

[Tweak]

To keep you updated.

At present no answer has been received regarding the appeal, we are still awaiting this.

However, I would like to organise a mass donation attempt. I have some ideas in action but they need significant funding to secure. Please donate all you can over the two months, ignoring the donation meter. During this time, raffle tickets will be worth double their previous amounts and the person able to donate the most by the middle of December will be given a special prize.

Please be aware without your help the forums will have difficulty continuing to run. I have no intention at this point to close them and will give at least a month's warning in the event it does have to occur. But with your help, we can keep them going. I just need support from everybody here.

Thank you

Edit: Donations above that of the donation limits are fine, please contact me if you wish to make one.

what has changed may i ask?
 
for months this site has run fine, years in fact. has one of the people helping pay for it ducked out on you??
why now..whats different??

[Tweak]

I no longer have any income. I'm currently unemployed. I was keeping it running on student loans whilst I was studying but now, as I'm no longer a student I have nothing but unemployment benefit coming in.

Equally, I will soon be moving over to the USA which will cut any income I have off entirely, that's when there will be absolutely no money left to pay for it but I'd rather secure something now than fight for it in 2-3 months when I'm trying to focus on other things.

[Kaprika]

oh no....thats terrible.
 
 
well i hope you can find new employment readily, and get on your feet fast.
 
as a curious fur...is there any chance that even if things DO turn for the worse, and the unthinkable happens...would there be a possibility that when you DO get everything stable later on...that the site may come BACK?

[Tweak]

oh no....thats terrible.

It was expected. I just thought I would have found some job by now.
 

well i hope you can find new employment readily, and get on your feet fast.

Depends how my current applications go and how soon I can get permission to work once I move to the US.

Most likely. Things will work out though, I'm sure.

[Puncia]

I've cooked up something that might help. I hope.

oh no i dont want to see the forums go...

insted of paying to host it cant you host it your self ?

i think the owner of ontario furries ( not furs there are two difrent ones) hosts it him self. i know him in rl.

[Tweak]

It wouldn't be nearly as good. There's a reason I host externally after all. Bandwidth is expensive, it can't be matched with a home connection.
