This feature was rejected 6/14/2012: We tried a google ad for a few months but it only generated like cents per month so he took it down.

we should get some of those annoying little advertisements that clutter up the side of your computor screen.

The site is too pretty for those! haha. I was thinking perhaps a donation box area like wikipedia and a variety of other sites have. Not sure though.

Donations would be pretty cool, and we could have a trophy just for people who have donated. :)

Donation trophy is a cool idea.
NaNoWriMo has little halos that show up over the usernames of people who donate.

Yeah, donations would be awesome. I wonder if there's a way to make lucrative, non-invasive advertisements...

Honestly, if there's only about 50 active members, who would pay money to put up ads on the site?

This is actually a really good idea. With some motivation, we might even get "all" the wish list items done, and sooner. As for who would want to sponsor the site, it depends on the type of advertisement program. For example, if it is based on clicks, CYOA gets paid per click, or the more common one, per view. Although it might be small quantities at first, eventually it adds up. Besides, every person that checks this site 5 times per day and multiply that by 10-50 people, and you have a nice profit margin.

Higher, but not a substantial difference that google would pay more.

Definitely higher, and it's paid per click.

Mm, i dissaprove of donations, I mean, we don't have that many members, unlike facebook, tribal wars, online dictionaries, etc. A donation box would be cool though.

Have you noticed many technical changes around the site? The only person who programs the site isn't around :P

Donations, I'm for. Advertisements, I don't see the upside. I don't think we have enough traffic. If you could do some research on how many views it takes to make X dollars, that would be very helpful!
