Happy new year! Please help me by answering a few questions

Post by hcm_aj »

Hi! Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a great start to the new year. :D

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 New Years to you too and Welcome back! You forgot to remove the quote of this message that contains the link of the scammer:
viewtopic.php?p=5762#p5762

Including the hacked account that contains the scammer link:
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=948

Me and Tetchi was wondering when your going to add more mods, since Viket visit this forum from time to time, and very rare you visit this forum too.

About the browser
I use like about 4 different browser, depending how the website runs, and if they support the browser or not.

Now a day, an Ad blocker is a must to have, since some website like:
  • Google,
  • Youtube,
  • Amazon,
  • Walmart,
  • News,
  • Blogs,
  • and so much more

spams their site with ads, making your experiences bad, navigating the site worst.
Not saying all websites do, but the majorly are abusing ads to get easy money.
Not to mention Ai Slop ads, and hackable ads that runs hidden script to steal your credentials.

To answer your questions:
1. I use Google chrome and yes, but only for some websites
2. I can still see ads but if you're meaning to ask if I can see ads on this website, then yes

Now that I've done that, just like UmbreonLover said, this website is in desperate need of moderators seeing as you're pretty much never around and Viket is only one person who has other things to do than be a lone wolf moderating this website all day.

Thanks for your answer!
Regarding the topic and the hacked user, I've already deleted the message and temporarily deactivated the account. I'll see if I can contact him.

And about the moderators, you're right, we need more people. I've had a shitty year, and Viket probably has his own personal issues, so he can't always be active.
Would you like to be a moderator, UmbreonLover?
Or do you have someone else in mind who might be reliable for the position?

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

Happy Holidays and a snowy January!

I use Chrome and Edge. I don't use an ad blocker.
► Show Spoiler
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.

I do consider you suitable; you have the talent and surely one of the Infinity Stones :twisted:

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.

The post volume is low enough that i could come check once per day if you need an extra hand at moderation. Viket can probably vouch for me as i'v been flawlessly moderating the MUGEN Hentai twitter group upon his request since ages ago.

"HCM Admin :D" ,
Now that's a good title , can you grant ''character posting'' accounts or just the owner ? because i remain ignored for almost 2 years now , i have at least 6 quality characters to post, 3 of mine and 3 from various commisions that i'm allowed to distribute.
