    Hi Fae, I wish I knew.

    Of course if you look at the fact that the advertisements in these chat rooms don’t actually make any money because they are just banner exchanges I could remove the banners too and still be no worse off. I may, in fact, just do that once the servers have been recoded to limit ‘free’ rooms to 5 users.

    The only money generated by advertising that I recieve is from the text ads listed on the lower left hand of the page. Some months I make almost .50 cents. (no joke)

    All in all, I can’t see how anyone can not continue in today’s internet services without charging a fee for them. 1998 is over and the free internet is dead along with a lot of dot bombs that figured advertising would pay their bills online. LoL the only reason I’m here is because I’m stubborn and I work from a shoestring budget.

    I’ve always wondered how effective the ‘PayPal Donate’ button is, many sites seem to have them now. If I download a helpful graphics tutorial for example I don’t mind popping a couple of dollars in the pot, perhaps it would work here too.

    Hello,

    No I wouldn’t, I’m just getting started and can’t even really figure this whole chat room thing out. Is there some kinda blonde proof instructions to see the people talking in any particular room at one time? I guess maybe since I’m a rookie some one out there could give me some suggestions about promoting the chat room and perhaps any advice would be helpful. I do think this is a great idea though! :confused: :smirk:

    Sadly I have only recieved a single donation out of 35,000+ users that have registered. LoL *sigh*

    That’s ok roar, I’ll still be offering ‘free’ chat along side the paid subscription chat. There will be a limit on the number of users in free rooms though. But other than that there won’t be many differences.

    Anytime. Besides, it’d be sad if a 24 yr old couldn’t afford $10 a year, no?

    Just gotten here, answer is yes I would pay , even if I have to collect pop bottles to get the money. Still learning the rope here. With more smileys the better as chatters love them smileys. Don’t see what I can sell with ads and wouldn’t anyway, do hate them ads, do realise revenue has to come from somewhere. So answer is YES even so I am not rich.

    I think the overall design of these chat rooms are a bit scrappy and im a new user so i dont quite know what the buttons do and I dont know if it has features like user banning and to be honest.. my room aint even working at the moment.. but if it worked out well.. sure.. I would pay… because the only thing I have to lose is… $10.. oh yeah… and those annoying adds… lol

    oh yeah and how do you join the banner add program? could I have the URL for it? … thanks

    Gotten some from a smiley site that were free for saving as site said, also made afew of my own and using the crusher to crush them down to fix 30×30 or was it 40×40 ? can’t recall the size it needed for msn IM. All I can do is wait and see what the sizes and files must be for chat emotions and how many will be allow. Could even use some of chattersonline emotions if allow to. We have created a new community , still have our old community, just not in a hurry to get new community up and running so fast. Only 20 members in new community , could get alot of members over a weekend if we invite them all over to the new community, which we haven’t yet.

    I am glad to hear that things are working out good for you and your community. It is a nice thing for people to offer to each other for help and comfort. Keep up the good work!
