Are we abusing this thread?

No. It's better this way.

It´s been almost two hours since the last lurker came crying... it´s awfully quiet...

To Zombongo:
it seem to me that you don't excactly know why tenboro has to do this.
the point is that the advertisers asked him to do so.

Ugh, I really wish this had been an April Fool's joke after all. Yes yes, I know about g.e-hentai and everything else (since I've had the Ads-Be-Gone perk for months, I wouldn't have even noticed the change if I hadn't read about it).

The problem is that almost everyone else is still out of the loop. My latest translations have gotten less than 5% of the hits they would normally get. Thank God this is no longer the only place I publish them, or I'd seriously consider giving up the whole business.

Is your quality of life based on the number of hits you get on your galleries?

Also, there is no god.

was going to say "nothing of value was lost" but then i remembered most shota galleries featured busty moms/sisters/whatever so i was like (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif)

the good side of it is that it reduced 1/5 of the server burden (and it had some impact on costs)

No, but it is nice to know that people are enjoying them, and the hard work I put into translating wasn't wasted. When you're used to getting roughly 7-12k visits on your galleries the first day, it's a bit depressing to start getting a couple hundred instead.

Wait wait wait, let me get this straight.

you need donations to keep up the cost of running this place. OK makes sense.

and you rely on donations to do so, ok that makes sense to.

however people aren't donating so money is tight. that is understandable.

and your solution to this, is to penalize your own members and site by banning certain content?

now don't take this the wrong way good sir but bad idea's don't come any badder then that. if you are low on donations you must try to appeal to your members not attack them. a site and its admin that attacks its members is doomed to fall in my opinion and experience, and so far that is what i'm seeing.

Yes it is the internet and the internet demands that stuff be free, and thus donations are hard to come by. however, by doing this you will only be driving away a good portion of this sites members and even more donations. for all you know, a majority of the donations might have come from loli and shota fans, and now that you've removed it, you may have now just struck a blow to yourself.

and i'm sorry if you find this ass "piss and moaning" about the situation but i would like to say that this is strictly opinion/suggestion and not a complaint.

A good day to all of you.


you are awarded the prize, THE WORST LURKER TO DATE.

read the damn thread and understand the situation. nothing except possible and unconfirmed bandwidth control is implemented.

don't get it? then look again. Still don't? then you don't deserve to be here. and if you think i'm being mean, there's just too many people ranting and hoping the 'moved' content comes back in this thread already. we get tired, y'know?



Hehe, I found that after I posted last night. ._.b

QUOTE(Tenboro @ Apr 3 2010, 00:46) *

don't worry, we're not going anywhere. As long as the donations keep up, we have enough money in the war chest to keep the wheels going for at least a year even without any ads at all. And at that point, it's easy to scale down the site to where donations alone can sustain it by cutting in the non-contributor traffic.

Am I the only one who actually reads this stuff?

Either people don't read the thread at all, or they forget things so fast that by the time they click on post reply they forgot everything they just read..

nonono i didn´t say anything about the costs .. it was because of the comment before that there is just 1/5 of the previous server burden .. i just pointed out that the other page has a certain burden too ^^
hehe btw i have read every page AND i didn´t complain

A: 1. No you are not alone (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
2. "People" (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/lurk.gif) just like to complain rather than to actually get an objective perspective, BEFORE they start complaining, because it´s much easier that way...I guess (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

This isn't really about legislating morality.
That's just what they call it.
It's really just legislating taste.

I mean, what happens if someone considers tentacles to be "animals"?
