Well I remember that old thread Grojlach mentioned. I agree that I don't remember anyone personally attacking anyone else, more of the idea, which if I recall was more like an issue wherein if a person donates they could get a special avatar or something. A few people, including myself, didn't agree with that idea for many reasons. I personally thought flaunting an avatar in front of other's who couldn't afford to donate might cause ill feelings, etc.
I have always been in favor of banner ads for this site, I don't mind them. And Crimsonblades suggestion of a small fee seemed a reasonable amount. As it stands only a small amount of people have been donators I bet holding up the show, donating more than $12.00 a year as Crimson suggests. And to have the option to not donate, but have a banner ad, isn't really that big of a deal (to me anyway). Pop-ups, no doubt, I couldn't tolerate those things, see them enough and I hate them! But I know Ziroc would never do that, not incase things became exceptionally bad, and even then, I have to wonder if he would just shut down things altogether rather than have pop-ups. Guess it depends on the pop-up, some places only have one when you first go there, but some are absolutely INSANE, you get one each time you click on anything, hate those the worst!
Oh and Crimsonblade, chill dude, don't start insulting people now, that won't help anything, and you know it.
