failing to see the receipts on this one. plus we probably didn't want them anyway. If they can't take an f-bomb here and there, imagine how they'd react to NHB or SYG.

It's kind of ironic that if the censoring stays the site will inevitably continue to grow and the server can't handle the stress as it is.

Maybe ATRL+ could add some more features and have like a 10% off sale. More people would subscribe and you wouldn't have to rely on ads as much

A permanent "donate" button/ad at the top of the page would probably work wonders as well. Waffles.FM has a little Waffle mascot that appears in the top-right corner of all pages, unobtrusive but big enough to remind users that donating is appreciated.

I think Joseph is asking because it's probably looking very appealing to close the site right about now. With the server issues and the loss of ads, it would easier than fighting for all of this to keep the website running when ultimately it wouldn't be the end of the world if ATRL closed.

I don't know him personally, but I'm sure a lot of people would be thinking this way if put in the situation.

meanwhile NHB has remained open almost this entire time and they're in there telling users to kill themselves and talking about sticking things in each others anuses because they're "ghetto."

of course this will be completely ignored because "we NEED NHB" and all the other lame crap people excuse that mess with.

Even if you don't believe it, I know people who did that.
Not everyone thinks the same, not all the people likes SYG and NHB,
(not even all the members do).
and as you say, probably we didn't want them or need them, but well...

This is what I want to know.

What's the news about the server issues? I just came back after a 17 month hiatus...

Keep the censoring; no one wants to see the site shut down.

.

I have gotten use to the censorship. But I'm confused, this place is huge, wouldn't advertisers be likely to jump on these kind of sites ?

If the site is shut down, there is NO other website like this. I would hate if this was shut down.

Please elaborate on what exactly isn't appropriate for our advertisers? Just the words? Sexual stuff? The fact that there's a lot of gay people on this forum???

I mean, Absolutepunk is a music forum thats just as big as this one and has been around for almost 10 years and still allows swearing and sexual talk...

!!! I'm curious as well as to what content they object 2

And the fact that this is coming from a straight guy, **** you dude.

I won't curse.

That's where that handy F-word comes into play.

jfc this makes no sense. Google is literally THE place to go for any of those things.
