If i were to chose to be a donor, what amount sounds like an ideal price? And how long does it last?

I have no money right now, but i think it'd be worth paying for when i do get some money.

$10-$20 is plenty to be helpful, but if you give more, it's really helpful for brad, who runs this site out of his own pocket with little else but thanks most of the time. The benefits of donating don't stop just because you haven't donated lately. That's why it's called donating.

As soon as I get my new bank card, I think I'll donate again, actually. It's been a while.

Yeah i figured the price would be in the $10-$20 range, wich is perfectly fine. When i get a source of income, i'll probably donate around $10 to begin and see how it works out with all the extra features and such. Until then i guess i'll just enjoy it as-is.

Thanks for the input.

I try to donate $20 every couple months or so. I realize it isn't a lot, but every bit helps.

Fucking hell! Wouldn't you be better off making your own Create-A-Strip website for that kind of green?
I may donate a few bucks every year but there is no way I would feel the need to take up the slack due to lack of donors. I do my best to promote this site (through self-promotion) and I know of about 5-8 users that currently strip here as a direct result of my whoring. So if they do the same then Brad is sure to profit eventually.
Everyone here should post threads about this site to other forums they visit.

Well, I love this place. I'd tithe to it if I could. If there was a way I could subscribe to it, I'd do it.

I can honestly say that this is my favorite spot on the web. While I'm on the 'net the only other places I'll visit are the Encyclopedia of Lesbian Movie Scenes or lezlovevideo.com. I've got a rather one-track mind at times.

This and in4mador are usually the two sites I visit most often.

Sometimes photoshop tut sites and unreal mod sites.

He must get something for them adverts, surely?

I doubt its enough to allow us to do all that we want here. There are hundreds of thousands of comics he stores for us.

How often does anyone here click on ads? I know I rarely do. Even then, I recall brad saying that they track you to make sure you're actually looking at the site.

I'm sure he gets a few dollars from them, but not nearly enough to pay for the site and his whores.

Other sites aren't nearly as cool as this one. Besides, as Rabid said, it's still not nearly enough for the whores.

I know it's not rude to ask 'What is the dollar figure it takes to run this site excluding electricity and Pepsis sunk while tinkering with the code?' so,

'What is the dollar figure it takes to run this site excluding electricity and Pepsis sunk while tinkering with the code?'

Oh yeah and how much cash has been received in total donations so far? I am realy interested in this.

It costs brad US $50,000 a year in unpaid parking tickets, 15000 a year in royalties to Richard Simmons, who invented the name "Brad", 4400 a year goes to Rabid_Weasle for the best oral pleasure money can buy, and 100,000 US for hookers. A week.

At least the Google banners aren't CPA (Cost Per Action, meaning Brad gets X amount of money per signup/purchase). Those can earn you shitloads of money, especially directed traffic like the stuff we have here, but it usually just ends up making you wish your costs were lower so you could actually make money.

This shit is my bread and butter now, and I can tell you that smaller sites like Brad's need a shitload of good, focused traffic to make banners really worthwhile. Brad could probably never make enough money off the banners to sustain the site alone. Google, Ask Jeeves, Yahoo, and others of that type make millions off banners alone because they focus a lot of traffic to very specific ads. Search engines are banner GOLD.

In any case, no, I don't think Brad's going to be buying a Porsche with the little fundage he generates off this site, even with donations, banners, and the secret soul-selling campaign link he has running under the in4mador button.

Other sites run on a free server, generate a LOT more traffic that is very focused, andmany have outside investors. Many others actually sell things to make money.

what brad sells makes him lots of money, but again, that is just enough to keep him chest-deep in hookers.

But what D/X sells is scrumptious. Awwwww yeah.

Essentially the answer to iwillshankyou's questions are:

1. How much: As little as PayPal will allow.
2. How long: As long as Mr. Brad's good temperament lasts.

There's no minimum donation and it lasts for as long as the site does.

But it doesn't exempt you from getting your account banned if you continually troll the message boards and act like a pain in the ass like Ekpyros/Jejune did.

I take it it would be rude to give you a dollar, but considering my financial situation I may just have to do that.

The Ekpyros account is banned. Jejune's still around. Hasn't done anything bannable that I've noticed yet, unless I get to count complaining, being rude and then asking me for favors.

But giving me permission to use the Jejune account is essentially unbanning me, so i should technically have donor-status now.
