As we all know, making a popular and well updated gaming community takes alot of time and patience, but that's not one of the bigger problems these days. The biggest problem for an administrator is to pay the expensive bandwidth bills, which could easily scare most people off from attempting to start his or her own gaming community.
The regular banner advertising is going so bad these days it's pointless to use one, since less than 1% of the users decide to click on one. Many good sites have had to close lately, since their banners weren't enough to cover their expenses. Since we are a particulary new forum, our expenses haven't skyrocketed yet, but any regular gaming community member will know the rules for popularity. We provide you with the latest news and constant updates, which technically means that we'll get an uncontrollable amount of members, that will make our wallets more empty than and empty hole in our empty pockets!
The best ways to keep a gaming community alive is either to blackmail Bill Gates, or have the forum members donate a small amount of money, maybe once every month. Since nobody wants to go to jail, we would want you to donate some money via PayPal, so the Zelaron community can survive. Even a dollar is better than nothing, and if 100 members would donate one dollar once every month, since it would cover the current bandwidth/hosing cost for now, and would be greatly appreciated.
If you decide to donate a single dollar or more, we will change your forum title to "Zelaron Pal" and change the color of your dots for the following month, so nobody will have missed that you were kind enough to donate money to keep the forums alive.
We have decided to give anyone who donates more than $10 a month of hosting with the total sum * 0,5 mb storage, so for example, a donation of $14 would mean that you get a zelaron.com/yourname address for a month with 7 mb storage. It might not sound like a lot of room, but we never wanted it to be for file storage, since we already have big problems with bandwidth feels.
Your site would be extremely fast, and you would get linked to on the main page, which could bring a lot of visitors to your site. The main idea behind all of this is still that you can help us with the hosting fees, so you will get honored with an OC-48 backbone connection for a month.
Some basic rules about the hosting:
* No download archives
* No porn sites
* No links to bad/illegal material
Not so tricky, is it? If you are happy with the hosting and would like to keep the site after a month, feel free to contact me, and I'm sure we could come up with something.
