Unfortunately we ran the site on donations for several years, and the problem is that people don't just donate a little more money. We've had several large donations in the past that helped the site for a long time, but unfortunately donations these days are rare.
Adding adverts that only appeared for logged out users seemed like a good compromise, because ultimately nobody who joins the site saw them, but they still generated sufficient revenue to pay for the site bills.
I would've donated more regularly but I figured that if there were about 10,000 members and plenty of purples, and with it only costing $25 a month to run, that it would only take about one donation a month to run and any more than that would be stockpiled for the future... and therefore that you'd be well covered... shows how wrong you can beIf you don't mind me asking, roughly how much do you receive in donations/how often?
I'm going to start doing quarterly donation drives and this way everyone can see exactly how much money is donated xD
