Paying the bills

It's $156 to renew JC for another year, and I am thinking of putting some non-intrusive ads up to help pay for bandwidth. Does anyone care? They would be those non-intrusive Google ads that seem to be everywhere these days. They seem to actually pay people. I would probably turn the ads off once we reached $156.

I forbid you to place ads on the site, and also I will not pay you any money for the site.

I believe I'm speaking for everyone here.

I'm mailing a check in the morning. I had no idea it was so much to have a domain. Now I feel REALLY bad about sponging off you.

Oh yeah, d-loaded the beaver songs I found there (hope you don't mind) Apparently we both used the same keyboard drums for our sit.

It only costs $10-$20/year to have a domain....the rest must be the colocation fees for the server.

What?

No. Nobody needs to give me any money. I just... well, nevermind. You'll see them when you see them I GUESS.

No ads.

I see one ad, I'm outta here.

Forever.

I was thinking of putting them on the Trotting Krips site.

How are you going to make money off the ads if none of us click them?

Well, I guess you got me there.

Now let's say we aren't all satisfied with thinking running this site is your problem. Don't they require some amount of browsing and such?

I think we should click them on purpose to help our our pal Jonsey. Since I won't pay for any website (not even porn) then its a good option.

I will not click on any ads, since the moment I see an ad, I will leave and never return to this website.

I'd probably pay for porn if it wasn't so easy to steal.

Anyway, I really thought most of them didn't run simply off clicks. Is there a flat amount you get for putting the ad up?

With the $2 million, of course.

He won't leave if Jonsey puts ads on the site. This place is too interesting to just self-ban because of advertising. Too many wacks and free thinking to ignore. In a way, it reminds me of a college dorm corkboard, only better.
