What donations are used on?
  • Aarinfantasy server: $310 per month. ONLY $200 from the donation is used to put on the server, the rest ($110) is paid by myself. Sorry guys but I need to save money and cannot put out any money towards the server anymore.
  • Torrent server: I am not sure since Aarin takes care of this, but I believe it's more than $100.
  • DVD's and other multimedia.
  • Aarinfantasy and Aarinsecret domain name renewals each year. ($10/year each)
  • Aarinfantasy and Aarinsecret vBulletin software script renewal. ($85/year each)
  • Other scripts such as the gallery system and extra modifications that I personally requested for hacks like the iShop.
  • Other misc stuff that's used for the site.
I know that the donations are already very high each month and I don't want to increase that number that's why I've been paying out of my own pocket for months. I can't really spare anything anymore so to get some money in without increasing the donation, using google ads is a very good way.

If you remember, we used to have ads, but those ads belong to some other company, not google. That caused some problems as some of the advertisers have adwares in the ads so we completely shut that down and replied solely on donations.

I was in a rush when I was coding the forum with the ads so didn't have a chance to explain. You can help the forum by viewing the ads and clicking on them if they are of interest to you. Donated members automatically have the ads turn off for them since they are already helping in the site costs. The ads above the shoutbox are not turned off since I haven't added the codes to hide it from them yet, but if they only want to see it there, I can leave it as it is.

You can turn off the ads by clicking here. Click on join group to stop viewing the ads. Support or not is up to you guys. Thanks for those who understand and support us throughout the years we've been online.

Thank you for explaining!

Personally I don't mind seeing the ads. I was actually looking for a way to turn them ON for me...I've donated, so they don't show everywhere...but I am moving 500 kilometres in less than a month, so I won't be able to give for a while...(don't have a job there yet)
That's why I thought I could turn them on...I want to help every way I can.

And the ads above the shoutbox aren't in the way at all. At least I don't think they are...

Thanks for explaining.

I try and support by donating once a month, because this forum and people are great

I don't mind the ad above the sb, it looks good there.

Well, I don´t know if this has anything to do with the ads above the sb but starting today I can only see one line of the sb, only last one posted and not what was posted before that.

I don´t really wanna remove the ads but if they are what effects my vision of the sb, then it´s kind of hindering. Ehm.... is it because of that? Or just a glitch?

*edit*

Ok, now it´s back to normal suddenly. O_o But on several occasions today I only had that one last line. Hm, wonder why...

I actually wouldn't mind google advertisements.. it's just those advertisements that take the place of a topic. >.<;

Edit: I don't see them anymore.. that's the only thing that was bothering me.

I was wondering what these "phantom adds" were, since I couldn't see them. I don't mind them. But I wouldn't like them all over the forum views. They should be in one place only (like the shutbox above) because it just makes me feel better. Aarin is a fantasy world to me, and Adds everywhere won't do it for me. But being given the option of clicking to see them, is of course totally fine with me.
Thanks a lot for the explanation

Agree with that. It´s a little strange though how the ads above the sb adress me in my own language now.
They knows where I live ...

Hm, I've donated, but I don't mind the ads as long as they don't appear in the list of topics XD

I can live with a few advertisements here and there, so long as it helps the forum out

Well, the ads aren't so bad... I'll put up with them for now. Maybe even click them from time to time.

But I started thinking... do we really need bittorrent for Aarinfantasy? It seems a lot of the time people mention that there aren't any seeders and I think that's because everything has download links in the forum, so to me Bittorrent is unnecessary. Also, the Aarinsecret website is kind of unnecessary and unfortunately, from what I've seen, spammed to death. I just thought I'd throw those ideas out there for consideration if the site upkeep is costing too much. I don't know about everyone else but I hardly ever see the front page of "aarinfantasy.com", I go straight to the forums, which I think the majority of people do. ^_^;
