Hi! Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a great start to the new year.
I've been absent this past year; we'll talk about that later.
For now, I have a few questions.
What browser do you usually use, and do you use ad blockers?
If you don't use ad blockers, can you still see the ads?
Recently, ad revenue dropped significantly, and I was wondering how you typically navigate the website.
Just to clarify, we don't earn anything, the site barely keep online... sometimes hehe ...
Happy Holidays and a snowy January!
I use Chrome and Edge. I don't use an ad blocker.
I can see the ads on both my PC and my mobile phone (Android operating system).
What else could be done to generate revenue to maintain the hosting?
Advertising seems like a good idea, but in practice, not so much. What other feasible options are there? Donations, donations in exchange for ranks or benefits—I don't think those are very beneficial or profitable. What about OnlyFans? Patreon? Or simply informing visitors about a benefit for clicking on the ads shown to the site/forum, and if the monthly goal is met, offering a prize or distinction, and so on for the next goal, or simply asking for donations from personal funds.

Since I visit this forum nearly twice a day, I wouldn't mind serving as a moderator. If you don't think I'm fit for the job, I recommend
Tetchi as a mod.
You did ask about this a long time ago but never made a decision to accept it or reject it, beside people in this forum recommending me as a mod too lol
I do consider you suitable; you have the talent and surely one of the Infinity Stones
And I appreciate the vote of confidence; if
hcm_aj considers it appropriate, it would be a pleasure to contribute to keeping the green fields of the castle free from the evil of the good man.
And why not two moderators? Two is better than one.
