How can we help? I donated and sent a message to make sure it went through but nothing back. I dont mind donating but wondering is there anything else we can do to help keep the place open.

I think I worked this out when AdSense first went down, where if Justin got a quarter ($0.25) per account per year, that would get him to where he had been before AdSense shut down.

How many accounts are still even active? If I had to guess there are probably, if lucky, 100 people on here spread out through the forums. That even post on a regular basis.O-Trap;1229106 wrote:I think I worked this out when AdSense first went down, where if Justin got a quarter ($0.25) per account per year, that would get him to where he had been before AdSense shut down.

I'm not sure on that. I'm betting that it's more across all the forums.
The thing is, visitors are allowed on the site. So I wonder how much of the AdSense earnings were the result of members instead of visitors. That's the question we should be asking.

I agree just sucks that adsense is not responding to justin. I am not sure what all is going on but sounds like there is some communication problems there.O-Trap;1229123 wrote:I'm not sure on that. I'm betting that it's more across all the forums.

This site was making money prior to Adsense going away. If I knew a "bottom dollar" cost of what it would cost to run this site (break even for Justin), I'd be willing to donate. Until then, I'm going to be greedy....I don't want him to spend his own money so I have an online hangout, but I don't want him to make money either if it's all via donations.

Maybe this is what it needs to become, a true online community supporter by its members. I have donated a few times, a little bit here and there. This place is pretty cheap entertainment really. I saw on the Dark Knight Rises thread it costs $17 for one ticket. $17 here should give you an entire years worth of fun rather than just a couple of hours for the same price.

Why do you even need adsense, you could easily sell more than $80 worth of advertising a month on this site. Hell, most companies spend more than that on toilet paper each month.

Does this site get enough traffic to attract advertising?

I'm ready to spend $80.00 a month to post an ad for JJ Huddle...NOT.

You don't actually attract advertising with a site this small. You have to go after it yourself, it is not going to come to you.hasbeen;1230755 wrote:Does this site get enough traffic to attract advertising?

I think justin could make more than enough money to cover his expenses by charging people to be mods on the site. When you really think about it, some of these guys have such big egos that they would be willing to pay $20 a month just so they can brag to all their friends that they are mods on a free chat site.

Trust me. He wouldn't make enough to cover his costs, let alone enough to make it worthwhile.password;1230776 wrote:I think justin could make more than enough money to cover his expenses by charging people to be mods on the site.

I'm glad your mind is constantly on cock. I'm sure that thread you created was actually "should my son date be allowed to date a 15 year old boy." Some super sperm you got old man.
As for your question, there are white owl 2 packs used to smoke. Seeing as I don't focus my entire life on cock, I assumed otherwise.

I actually agree with this. Sell advertising at a monthly, semi-annual, or annual fee. Make a sub-forum and name it "sponsors". I think a good first company that might be a good idea to go after is Homage. They are an Ohio based company that seems a lot of people on here like. Not to mention every time they have a deal, there is a thread about it doing free advertising for them.password;1230773 wrote:You don't actually attract advertising with a site this small.
