Ads in forums

[Bill Cahill]

With Oldsmobile's permission, he gave me his password a year ago, I was able to use the remainning credits to buy removal of advertising for registered members for 12 months. That means we will need to buy additional credits every year to stay ad free.
12 Months, 1000 credits.
It's alot higher if you include non registered members.
This means we need to ask for donations to the forums to buy additional credits. We also need to buy additional credits to buy more forum space.
Anybody willing to help here?
Information should be on bottom of main page. If not, let me know, and, I'll find out how to do it.
Thanks.

I donated some $/ad points about a week ago via the PayPal link and didn't receive any hello, howdie, goodbye or gth confirmation from the Forum Administrator. You might want to check on that.

Bill, I am the forum Administrator, and, was not aware of it. I will check into it when I go into the administrator panel.
Thank you for your donation.

I just logged into the administrator's panel, and, saw we had more credits. I added 300mb of forum space, so, we are now in better shape there.
Thanks for your help, ex. Remember this, all. If you donate, you need to inform me either here, or, privately because the forum doesn't automatically inform me of this. The money doesn't dome to me at all.
It goes to the creators of the forum with the web space.
It's that space we are paying for.

That's why I mentioned it. All the PP receipt data showed it going somewhere else and I just wanted to make sure you were aware of some incoming points.

Bill: How much does it cost in dollars and how many points for that amount?

[Bill Cahill]

I'm not sure. I haven't had the money to donate. You could ask exray how much he gave. It got me over 600 more points.
The points count they want is quite high to get more space, stop advertising, etc....
I hadabout 1100 points to start with, and, it cost 1,000 to buy one years' no advertising.
Buying more web space costs less for members. Buying free of advertising for non members is alot more, but, I'm not really interested in that.
It's not worth the expense.
So far, they only offer up to 500 mb of space. I don't know what it would take to buy more than that.

The donation comes up in Euros. If Bill says he got 600 points then I think 1 Euro=100 points. I really don't remember. I did 6 Euros which comes out to 8 USD.
