If changes are absolutely necessary, will it affect the IRC?

Okay, I've spread the link on my website and a bit on Newgrounds. Hopefully that helps.

(Looks at reward tiers)

40$: Teehee, sarcastic insults in binary. That sounds rad. Doodles sound rad too.
60$: I dunno, I kinda like the ads. I found some stuff I never would have found normally through ads. Like this Gaming Furever add at the top of the page.
800$: Okay, now we gotta get some people on that.
900$: Whoa, that sounds awesome. I didn't know Zephyr did 3D modeling.

These are some interesting reward tiers. I like it!
Of course, I can't see non-forum members doing the 800 dollar one, because they might not know you guys, and be all like "Meet Tweak? Meet Zephyr? Who's Tweak? Who's Zephyr?"
Sorry, I'm really nutty. But yeah, we're getting somewhere.

Indeed. It's what I went to school for. :P

I don't offer 3D commissions usually, so this would be a rare opportunity to grab one.

I assume you guys added popup ads to the site, or it's just me? I'm using it from a handheld device, and whenever there's a popup, it asks "Would you like to open in a new window" and when I went to this topic to say something, I got that message about 5 times, meaning that ad was trying to pop up and I kept denying it XD

Nevertheless, as long as the ol' Furry Forums are still up, I'm happy.

But the batrle against financial costs is not over! We have to defeat this money eating beast using our money!

Yes, adverts will include popups and intersital ads (ones that load between changing pages) in an attempt to increase revenue. The popups make a lot more income, in theory.

Once the target is reached it is likely a lot will be removed as I dislike ads as well and never like using them here. They are set up to not annoy you too often though! :)

Ever thought of advertising and marketing the comic hosting aspect of this forum?
I don't know whether this has been thought of already, but I thought I would throw in my input.

Whatever I don't spend at Oklacon this weekend I'll gladly funnel into my only way of entertainment, the Furry Forums.

Hey, just got the email this was happening!  Still my stupid fault for not actually turning up on here ANYWHERE near enough.  I HATE seeing Furry sites go under, and can and will help wherever I can, so BAM $150 AUD.  Hope it helps.  If you need anything more, let me know.

I just donated a bit. I will donate more next month. And also when I can sell programms or website stuff  :P
Dunno how helpful this might be, but i might could get a server with 25Gb hdd, 1gb ra, no traffic limit, 99,9% uptime, the only thing is, that it will be locsted in Germany. But might be enough to handle a forum, irc, vent/mumble ? It wouldn't be a problem to rent it for me.

It's alright to answer that. It won't affect my donations negatively.
