    Default Sponsored Links ads

    Is it me or are they a nuisance (SP?). I mean, not so much that they make me want to kill, just makes me think, "Hey, that's cool." Is Spit running out of money to pay for hosting or something so he's getting money through that? I would certainly hope he's not, I would hate to see this community turn into EoN.

    Costs at the moment:
    Server: $130 a/mnth
    Forum Skins: $30ea a/yr
    Vbulletin - Owned Licence $160 1ce off then $30/yr
    Domains - $9.95 x 6 i think a/yr
    Misc things - $30 a/mnth

    My vbulletin licence is about to expire so I need to spend $160 on that. When the forums are upgraded i need to buy the new skins since my account at extremepixels has expired (yes i know you can get illegal copies easily but I keep d2s legit) and the server Is $130 a month. As you can see the Monthly / yearly things all add up

    Current ads cover it with a tiny bit of profit, but as anyone can understand why not try to make a better profit when the opportunity is there Plus 50% of any extra money from the new ads i'm hoping will go towards buying things for competitions here on d2s.

    The new ads are the only way i could think of incorporating more without them being to annoying. Your lucky i dont put big flashy things and popups everywhere

    Anyhow, if no advertisers contact me about the ads there within a couple of weeks they'll be removed.
