Woway Needs Sponsors!

Post by **WHiZZi** » Fri Nov 07, 2003 1:25 am

As you probably noticed, the banners are gone..

Why? Because they didn't help at all. I ran 4 months with banners and not even 1 cent is received or earned. So, that banner company really needed to get of this site.

But then again, Were the hell can I get money to run this forum?

As you all know, running this forum is very expensive and it will be more (it is still growing). Currently, we have between 40,000 and 60,000 hits avg. each day (and I'm not making this up!). We have a datatraffic of 127810 Kbytes avg each day (yes, that is almost 128 megabyte). We really need some money to run this forum or else the forum must be closed..

I'm not asking you to donate. I received almost $400.00 on donations. I got $20 from Amazon.com (currently, but I don't know if they already counted the DVD's at this point). But, that's not enough for one year. I am desperatly trying to run this forum and leave it here. But I can simply not do that when I have to pay $600,00 each year!

So, if you know a company or a banner-server that is willing to sponsor our 914-members community, you can PM/Mail me. Let's all hope that there will be a sponsor who can save this forum.....

As you can see, we found another banner company.. (GOOGLE!)

Now, go clicking on the banner

I will run it for at least one month. After that I will check the earnings and let's hope it will be enough to save this forum

The end of the year is coming.. So, time for some stats about the earnings:

Past year:

Code: Select all


Donations:          $343.06
Google Banner:      $ 54.52  ( 15 clicks / $2.02 / day )
Amazon.com:         $ 17.33  (29 items shipped)
----------------------------------------------------------------
  Total:             $414.91

According to the clicks on Google ($2.02 per day)
Per month (based on 30 days): $60.60

Next payment for the server: June.
The estimated balance based on the Google banner: $363.60 + $414.91 = $778.51
$778.51 - $600 = $117.51 left over for the next year (June 2004-June 2005)

So, according to these numbers, we will stay online until at least end of 2004.
Whoohoo

Thank you all (and don't stop clicking on the google thingy)
