I know the purpose of this thread is regarding the censoring and advertisement but perhaps a better alternative to advertising that will still bring in money is giving members an incentive to donate. I know there's already ATRL+ but not everyone can afford or is willing to give $20 at a time.
If you give members an incentive to donate, you could potentially be bringing in much more and a much more consistent income for the site. Obviously they wouldn't reap the same benefits as ATRL+ members, but some things you could offer are:
- A title like ATRL Contributor underneath username (similar to the ATRL Adminstrator/Moderator title).
- 1 name change per $10 donated.
- Increasing avatar size limit to 125x150 for ATRL+ and contributors.
The title and avatar size could last for 1 week per $1 or 1 month per $5. Some people might even find it more suitable to buy ATRL+ since it gives you 6 months for $20 instead of paying in increments of $5 which will give you only 4 months. Obviously all the logistics and incentives would be up for you guys to decide but just a few ideas as to what could be done to increase donations.
