Alright usually I wouldn't make a topic like this but lately we have been having bandwidth troubles due to the popularity of this site. Almost half of the 20 G.B. of bandwidth the site has for the month has already been used, and Ill be lucky if what we have left lasts the entire month.If it doesn't then the cost of the bandwidth to keep this site up will come out of my pocket, so please help me out a little bit by clicking the Ads on the front page!Thank you.

For each click I get a few cents that I put towards the hosting bill and soon to be bandwidth bill.Also note, there is an ad that sells discounted Six Flags Great America tickets. If you need ticket, and buy from there it will also help support this site!

I'd be happy to donate a few bucks to you. Maybe you can have a "donate" button on the front page. Just a suggestion.

You should give it a try, Dave. I know some sites use PayPal for donations. Look into it, you might end up with a few bucks from it. Probably not too many, based on the apparent demographics.

Hmm... I might look into Paypal in the future, but right now as long as people click on ads that should be enough. I also had a few people Private Message me asking if they should post less to save bandwidth, the answer is no...post all you want, the forums only use a small percentage of the bandwidth I believe. The main Bandwidth problem came from the 65 picture high quality media day pictures.

I know you have to be 18 to use paypal but it would be a good way to get money if u need it. but i don't know how many people in here have an account even. i do, but if everyone in here is under 18... i don't know if that would be worth it.

The average age here is actually more like 15-17. Im 19 so I wouldn't have a problem setting up a paypal account, but I don't really feel like I need it that much. Just clicking on the Ads when you visit should be enough.

Yeah I'm 16. I don't know why I was under the impression that a bunch of newer people seemed a little bit younger and immature. The one kid is very young and immature, but I won't mention any names.

If we got a study to show age, I'm sure it would be almost all minors. However, just as on a specific highly-respected website, it is mostly children, with a few adults. The adults stick around, the children come, then after a while, just disappear.

I usually click on the ad's but right now the only banner ad that will come up is the one that says. Please join our forum or whatever the hell it says. I'll probably have a paypal account soon. I understand it costs money to run a site and I don't like to be a free loader.
