Just a small idea I had

Okay, so don't freak out because what I'm suggesting won't be like mandatory for everybody. Basically I thought to help Cheat out with the costs of running the server, people could OPTIONALLY pay something like $5 a month at the minimum. To give incentive, people who pay can get extra options/features such as extended anarchy, hidden dedicated sub-forum, different posting colors, etc

And think of it this way: We've all had to pay Bungie to use their website because we've all had to buy a Bungie game to learn about them and to know they have a website

Anyway, just a small idea I had while taking a shit >.> and I don't know how much it costs so if the ads cover it, then maybe it can be put in an emergency fund if hosts have to be switched or to even give Cheat and Isara a small "salary" for their hard and dedicated work

Fees for using a forum are revolting, in my opinion. I could see us putting out a few premium nameplates/titlebar colors, but right now I think we're reasonably OK on hosting costs (as long as adsense doesn't fuck us).

Alright haha

And wasn't suggesting like a fee, just a donation and you get stuff from it. Not mandatory and people could just donate whatever amount if they feel like it :p

Worst comes to worst, we could always just guilt BC into paying for the forum...

I honestly think that once we start making more good content like the reviews/articles we have now, we'll really start to pick up more funding from the ads.

I've even heard a podcast is in the works.

Fairly sure that money was used to buy the game.
I see your point, but it's a rather ridiculous one.
