maybe sell some banner ad space to community webistes and projects.

Please!
Do not use this post as information for making any important decisions. The only agreements I ever make are informal and non-binding. Take the same precautions as when dealing with a compromised account, scammer, sockpuppet, etc.

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

This was definitely not an easy decision for us, we don't like ads and were looking for alternatives for quite some time. We spent over 5k USD on server/domain/ssl/anti-ddos/backups since we took over the forum (even though participation has fallen since the devs are working on their stuff, lurkers are plenty).

We pretty much need 500 USD/month to cover all or costs. We don't expect to make that with adsens, but it's at least something.

You could also ask for donations. Make a donation thread and bump it every now and then, and maybe give some updates how much you are spending and how much getting from ads and donations. Especially when the recurring payments are enabled on Bitshares, donors could use that instead of single donations.

Has anyone here read the topic I posted regarding Bitteaser, it seems this is exactly what Bitteaser is offering that you are in fact looking for, and if you can make money in the same time, then why not instead of considering an expensive Google solution!!

Mind sending me a message with  a break down on server expenses ?
Might be able to offer something better.

Agree with the worker proposal. maybe there's some room to pay mods a little bonus.

other than that, I'd disable my block script for bitmedia.io - at least they're a crypto related advertiser :)

considering adsense works only with clicking on them and many regular users on the forum it makes no sense at all!

how much do you expect to cover the costs? and what costs do you have?
