I've asked for donations only one time (way back in 2003) in our nearly 24 year history. I don't have any other viable options until I can move it to a more affordable server and host. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

The last 3-4 months have been a struggle to pay our server bill due to some of the lowest amounts that the advertising and Amazon affiliate sales (they dried up when we stopped doing DVD reviews) have ever generated. I'm not sure if it's declining traffic and paid pageviews, advertisers paying far less than they used to, limited available ad inventory (I often see pages with 0-2 ads instead of the maximum of 3), or the rise of people using ad blockers (please consider whitelisting our domain if you use one). December is normally when the online advertisers pay 2x or 3x the amount, but it never happened this year.

I'm currently short on January's server bill. I pay each month up front. I can pay it as late as January 7. I thought about moving it to another server this month, but I don't even have the money or time to do it right now. I'll have to do some research to find a more affordable server with more memory to maybe move it by the end of January. The server we're on now is expensive and not a very good value. Once I can get it moved to a more reasonably priced server, we should be in better shape.

I plan on buying a mobile/responsive theme for our forums with some of the proceeds.

TJ: I see that many forums ask for funds to support the forum. I sure HOPE all or most of the longtime commited members pitch in. I feel they will.

Money is tighter everywhere and I have no clue what it takes keeping these forums operating.

I know many years ago on one of my first forums the owners had to close down due to funds, it was a good forum and they did not ask for help...just closed it. Had the owner asked for funds from the members, I believe it could still be alive, I would have donated as I so enjoyed the board.

TJ: You've put a TON into this forum so the dedication is certainly there. And thanks for allowing me to stay on in spite of the issues...

Unfortunately, it even REQUIRES a mobile number to do this! Which is the reason I was kicked off Pay Pal in the first place after being on there for 10-15 years. They should do security like amazon does, by sending an email when someone logs on. Simple!

Anyway, I'm planning on finally getting a mobile phone soon. But not just to make Pay Pal happy.

I've seen your address somewhere on the site--let us know, and i will send a check if OK.

I know others who have ditched Pay Pal due to the mobile phone requirement.

I looked at other donation sites such as Patreon, but they take out higher fees. I thought PayPal was the best option with the most people using it. I wasn't sure if they required an account or mobile phone number.

A check, money order or concealed cash would be fine.

I don't have any plans on closing it down. I know money is tight for many people with inflation.

I'll be better able to pay for it monthly when I find a more affordable host. I'm sure I can find a better one with more memory. It will run faster with more memory.

Clicking the PayPal link takes me to a Lois Fuller. Same last name so I assume it's the right place? Just double checking.

Yes. It's a verified account.

Ok, done. Lois now has some of my money.

The bad news is my refrigerator is breaking down and leaking from the freezer, so I need a new one in the next few weeks. Disposable cash was being earmarked for that. But I did what I could for now.

Thanks for getting the ball rolling and making the first donation. They take out 30 cents + a 2.9% fee. They have an option to let people cover the fees, but I turned it off. It will be enough just for the donation amount.

I'll be the second, once the snail mail arrives. Now that I think about it, probably worse than second!

PayPal was easy for me because I already have an account. Obviously there’d be a few more steps for someone going in for the first time and having to sign up.

Sitcoms Online story—- When I bought some stuff from TeeVeeCloset it was thru PayPal and he made me pay the fees. But luckily besides that he’s a fine upstanding citizen and never caused anyone any problems.

I will donate ! :) I'll send a money order ! :wave:

Some of the donation sites such as Patreon take out even higher fees. I guess that's where they make their money.

It has been a while since TeeVeeCloset last logged in and posted. I know he was battling some health issues. Hopefully he's doing ok if he's still lurking here. He has been missed.

Everyone, please listen to Valerie. Thanks.

Does Amazon offer a finder fee when linking digital content? With DVD sales drying up you would think that Amazon may have a program for linking digital content for purchase.

I did send a donation. PayPal included the processing fee in addition to the donation.

Yes. They do pay an affiliate commission on digital content. They also pay a bounty fee for Amazon Prime trials and some of their other services. I should put up some digital content links.

Any items (DVDs, CDs, books, electronics, etc.) ordered via our Amazon links within 24 hours of clicking on them should pay an affiliate commission. I see more orders for food and household items than DVDs these days.

Thanks for the PayPal donation!

Thanks to everyone who sent a donation via PayPal or snail mail so far.

Your generous donations have been put to good use.

1. I paid for January's server bill. I used PayPal's Pay in 4 option. I made the first of 4 bi-weekly payments of $49.75. I have enough for 2 more payments. I should be fine.

2. I renewed our domain name for another year for $19.99. It was set to expire on January 12. Next year will mark our 25th Anniversary online.

3. I bought a mobile/responsive theme for our forums for $49.45 with a 50% discount code. I need to install and test it out before making it officially available next week.

I'm probably going to move it to a more affordable server ($100 or less) and host near the end of the month.

Any donations to help with our monthly operating expenses going forward would still be welcome.

:thanks:

Please dont move us TJ!!!!

You know what happend when the host tricked you into such a good deal! (Seems like they only made it better when I told them off)

Also I clicked on the DVD link on the Gilligan’s Island page. The Amazon page offered digital as an option. Would they still help pay for this website if I chose the digital option?

How about some VHS tapes buddy??

From their Associates FAQ:

How long do visitors have to add an item to their Shopping Cart after clicking on one of my Amazon.com links until I no longer earn commission income on their purchase?

You earn commission income on any qualifying items placed in a customer's Shopping Cart within 24 hours of their arrival at Amazon.com via your Associates link. However, this 24-hour window closes once the customer submits his order or reenters Amazon.com through another Associate's link. Once the window is closed, you will not earn commission income on any subsequent purchases. However, if the customer then returns to Amazon.com through one of your Associates links, this opens a new 24-hour window.

It is of course possible that a customer may arrive at Amazon.com via your Associates link, add an item to his Shopping Cart, and then leave Amazon.com without placing an order. As long as the item was added to the customer's Shopping Cart during this 24-hour window, you will still earn a referral commission if the order is placed before the Shopping Cart expires (usually after 90 days). The referral commission will not be credited to your Associates account until the customer has purchased the item, accepted delivery, and remitted full payment to Amazon.com.

What is a troll???

A "Troll" is someone who snoops social media and message boards and post teasing comments. Sometimes the comments are derogatory or hurtful. In your case I thought you were making fun of my request to TJ. Apparently you were not. Sorry for the confusion.

So on the links you provide for Amazon DVD purchases maybe you can somehow indicate that the purchasing item could be of a different format. No sure how you would do that but might be worth listing in some way.

You know, if you charge TMC, oh say, 5 bucks per Ahsoka thread, you’ll be able to pay for the site and have enough left over to buy ABC.

You know, if you charge TMC, oh say, 5 bucks per Ahsoka thread, you’ll be able to pay for the site and have enough left over to buy ABC.300 threads all by him with no responses on almost all of them. No one else knows or cares whatever this Ahsoka show is about. :eek:

Ah man!!

In the coming weeks, I am going to be making some Amazon purchases using the links on this site. Are you still being paid from Amazon if we use the links?

If I had $1 for every Ahsoka thread (485 and counting), I could pay for 2 1/2 months worth of hosting. He would need to post 9,999,999,515 more threads to buy ABC.

In the coming weeks, I am going to be making some Amazon purchases using the links on this site. Are you still being paid from Amazon if we use the links?

Yes. If you order anything through our links within 24 hours or so without clicking on another site's Amazon links, I should get the commission. Any DVDs, Blu-rays, books or any other items are eligible.

Bumping it up puts it on top of the main board. More eyeballs there.

No what Im saying is THIS THREAD WAS MADE A STICKY.. It does not scroll down the thread list!

Sorry honey, but despite being a sticky, if no one replies this drops down the main board. But we know you’re trying. You’ll get it one day.

Hehe Maybe Todd can explain it to you honey :)

If there are 5 stickys it will only scroll down to 5th place...

Say there are 5 sticky threads on base 800.. If no one replies to this one,it will only go down to last place IN THE STICKIES. It wont dissapear to page 40..


I hope you understand now :)

The main index page is what opus is referring to, the one that lists all the boards like General TV, 1990s sitcoms, etc.

TJ is there another way to get a donation to you? I know I helped out in the past. Yet I forget how I sent funds to you.

Also, are you set up with Amazon to earn money from them when someone buy a digital downloaded TV show that was linked to the Sitcomsonline.com website?

I'm only set up with PayPal and Zelle to receive funds. What do you use?

Some people have sent checks, money orders or concealed cash in the mail. I could receive a Visa or Mastercard eGift card from a site like Giftcards.com or GiftCardGranny.com which I could use to help pay for our web hosting costs.

I should receive a small commission on any digital downloads ordered through our Amazon links. It helps when people order any items. Thanks.

Here's an odd question. I thought I read on one of the Cloudflare links you posted, TJ, that some sites monetize the bots; that is, charge them for their searches.

Is there any way to do that?

Ya they take up enough bandwidth,they should be charged for it!!

I saw the option in Cloudflare. I don't know if those companies with the AI training bots would pay when they have already been scraping content for free for years. We need less bots on here, not more. The only bots that send back any signficant traffic are Google and Bing. I have most of the others blocked.

It hasn't exactly been the golden age for online advertising the last few months. I've hit records lows since I've been using Google AdSense exclusively. I see others are experiencing the same decline in ad revenue from reading webmaster forums. There isn't a large inventory of ads. The few available ads are paying peanuts. Then you add in all the people using ad blockers. It's a recipe for disaster.

I will have to look at some other advertising options unless things pick up in the next few months.

December - Traditionally the best month due to holiday shopping, it was the lowest December ever.
January - I made the minimum by $25.
February - down 66% from the same period last year - I'm $10 short of the $100 minimum payment threshold amount with three days left in the short month.

The primary ways have been by PayPal, check or money order. A few people have sent concealed cash in the mail.

My information is in the first post of the thread.

Do you still need help and does any amount help? I’m disabled and on a limited income/budget, but I’d like to try and scrounge up a little bit of cash when I get paid in August. It won’t be much, but this place has meant a lot to me the past 25 years — ups and downs, for better or for worse.

I ask because you mentioned something about Cloudflare costs in another thread.

I'm usually able to cover the server and Cloudflare costs with the earnings from Google AdSense and Amazon. There were some lean months when it was a struggle. I was able to get our host to lower the monthly bill by $75 a few months ago which helped quite a bit.

I had to pay an overdue $173.55 Comcast bill or they were doing to disconnect us. I must have missed a payment at some point.

I didn't have enough to pay the $25 Cloudflare bill for this month. Thankfully opus was able to send another donation to cover it. I probably could use the free version, but the paid version has many more options.

Any donations are always appreciated no matter how big or small. I remember someone years ago sent me a $2 donation. It all helps.

Ordering any items through our Amazon links is another way to help with our expenses.

I don’t buy any physical media anymore because I can’t afford it and no longer have anything to play it on, anyway.

I’ll send you $25 for another month of Cloudflare next week and will try and help out periodically when and if I can. I know this site is a labor of love, but you shouldn’t have to foot the entire bill on your own.

I pretty much stopped buying physical media myself due to affordability issues. I mostly watch stuff on YouTube these days.

Thank you for the nice comments. I'm glad you have been a member of our community off and on for the last 25 years. It was good when you came back again in 2023 because I know you really didn't want to leave.

If you want me to merge your posts into your original AKA account, I can try to do it for you on the weekend. I want to make a backup of the database first.

Yeah, that would be great. I’d like to use the AKA name, too, if that’s possible. I’m in a much better headspace now to deal with any fallout than I was in 2021. No hurry either way, though. Dream Canteen is a Chili Peppers album I was listening to a lot in 2023 and I’m not particularly fond of the name anymore.

Let me know if there’s anything I need to do on my end. I still have the password to that account.

I feel bad Dream... I love Todd so much and now I reaiise how hard it is for him to keep this going...

I dont thhk he gets anything from it... I suggested to him to setup some pay per click spam ads and then give us the links to these ads...

We used to help another admin like this on another VBB site I was on..


Everytime one of the spam ads was clicked,The admin was paid and then all we had to do was complete an offer which was easy to do with throw away email accounts...


You keep your money Dream ok?? I feel aweful for you.. Maybe Todd will create some 'Pay Per Click' spam ads and we can help him that way also :)


Todd we love you!

I’m sure TJ loves that you’re telling people to keep their money and not donate it to the site. With “friends” like you……

You keep your money Dream ok?? I feel aweful for you.. I’m in a wheelchair. Yes, it sucks, but I’m not some Dickensian urchin and I’m happy and doing okay, considering. I’ve asked you before not to feel sorry for me. If you’re incapable of honoring my wishes, please keep your pity for me to yourself. I’m living a good life with my son and my parents and am being well taken care of.

The ads are mostly CPM (cost per thousand impressions). Google changed it from CPC (cost per click) a few years ago.

Many people are running ad blockers. They won't be able to view or click on ads anyway. People should only click on ads if they have a genuine interest in visiting the advertiser's site.

Speaking of being happy, does Tom Petty (I think) over on your left mean you’ve given up on the M’s? It’s not even August yet and they’re only 2 games out of first.

I’ll never give up on the Mariners, but I’ve been blacked out the past few days because they’re playing the Dodgers and I live in the L.A. market now (I don’t have whatever channel the Dodgers games are on; just MLB.tv).

After the last few weeks, though? I’m kinda happy for the break. But I’ll probably be back for more torture come tomorrow when the Twins home series starts. I’m also waiting with bated breath for what happens with the trade deadline.

I’ll always be ride-or-die for the M’s, but they’re such a frustrating team — especially after the highs of last season. I just want one AL championship (they’re the only team in Major League Baseball who have never played in the World Series), but I know it ain’t gonna be this year. But hopefully the bats will get hot in August and September.

I’m sure they won’t back down and will keep running down a dream.

Or they’ll breakdown — straight into darkness. But who knows? Even the losers…

I respect that. My fingers are all deformed now so I can’t do checks and rarely use paper currency/coins.
