However, because I care about the community I will keep those messy ads away!

If you can get money for them I would take it Gizmo... before you know it the data traffic charges will be way up... and that's not even taking in your time and expertise in keeping the forums running!

I've seen this happen on 2 bass fishing forums before... the traffic climbs to a point where the hosting company starts asking for some serious cash...

So if you are asking my advice on the matter then I would offer Vendors ads spot for hard cash finish and klaar! By all means put the money into a forums account or something but as noble as it is doing something for the love of it... money talks.
 
I was thinking of a donations system when we get to that point. But I will see.. My current server costs are R1500 per a month which I will gladly cover however, once it gets bigger I may need a donation system in place like forums like carbonite.co.za does.
 
I'm with Rob on this one. I don't dig pop up ad's etc. but if it helps sustaining the board then I'm all for it

Exactly! I would say take ad revenue now and hopefully build up a kitty! Donation systems don't work as well... at least with ad revenue you are giving vendors REAL VALUE to a target market. Hey we may even enjoy some vaping adverts! Please consider it Giz!

I dont know if it will be possible, but maybe try keeping the ads purely vape related?

Maybe even approach big some of the brands specifically like Kanger or innokin. Im not a marketing expert so I dont know if this will be possible but it is just a thought...

In my opinion this is a better idea. The clean look and feel of this site contributes to why it's so successful and enjoyable. I remember Facebook before the ads.
 
I don't mind vape gear & e-juice adds at all even if they pop-up or down, as long as this forum can go on.
 
I think on ECF the resellers pay an annual fee. And one can become a supporting member for R100 per year. No ads there.

I hear you big time... however with donation systems it tends to be like the rest of real life.. a few people step up to the plate and the rest don't. o_O

A great idea! I just wonder how many supporting members we will get? Based on the quality of members so far it may well be a workable plan!
 
i wouldnt mind the ads either, as long as the forum keeps going
 
Ad revenue would make the forum self sustainable and pay for a lot of tshirts caps and jackets :D it is something to seriously consider in the future. Especially to cover data costs.
