How about a kickstarter to keep this place running?

I don't think it's THAT expensive to keep something like this running. Nice thought though.

I guess it depends on how much you want it to grow -- I was thinking that earlier too... not necessarily a kickstarter but just the idea that we no longer have that accidental exposure (people thinking TXB was actually affiliated with Microsoft). TXB in it's hayday also had reviews and other things that grabbed passerbys and got them to register, etc.
 
The traffic here if you got adsense would easily pay for the servers.

Plainview was given an opportunity to run a profitable web site, no need to start making it rain for him like he's a stripper.
 
Before someone sabotaged it, WCG was generating $200 / month in ad revenue. (which was all taken from me, and Google never rescinded their tax forms they'd already sent to the IRS, so I ended up paying taxes on income I never received)

And that forum had WAY less "on topic" ad-worthy posts.. actually having tons of gaming discussions means the ads will be for games and game related things, which should generated a fair bit of coin.
 
Can we have a kickstarter to pay my rent for a few months? Seriously I'm at the bottom of the barrel, my stock investments in Syrian gasmasks haven't paid off, my brother's wife who I was having an affair with is cheating on me with my aunt's husband, and our flight leaves in half an hour!

That idea makes me uneasy...the last time I was a member of a place like this, the owner got a little greedy, completely shifted the focus of the site and alienated everyone.

I think that place turned into gamingfront. I had a look and it's up for sale.

Had it comin ya bastid!
