How do you say "I'm here for the gang bang" in PC speak?

[devon.818]

Gentlemen! we here at R3V hold ourselves to a higher standard! We do NOT exploit the womens that we so dearly love, we embrace them. THAT my good men, is why there are no more scantilly clad images in this upstanding community...

Dont even know why this one is in General Discussion too, so it's getting moved to off topic. This can be a great site with a lot of fun. But there are times people act too much like chidren on here and bring the site down. Is this here one of them? I have half a mind to lock this thread and say go to the one already in progress. But lets see where this goes. And if another mod or admin would like to lock this, please go ahead. Cause it's nice outside and i'm not spending all day inside on a computer.

Amen...

AFAIK, all of us mods are of one mind on this as well. James has spent thousands and thousands of dollars making the infrastructure of R3V be what it is, AND covering 100% of his hosting costs.

I think it only fair that he finally recoup at least some of his investment, much less his valuable time, and that trash on here makes OUR bigger sponsors unhappy, so it has to go.

More R3V the better, lets just drop the porn crap and keep it on track for what it is, the best forum on the web.

I think it was established that many people here (myself included) would donate to the site to keep the anything goes rules.

I'm here for you buddy.....

i upchucked in my mouth. My wife asked what happened and I think she did also.

[der affe]

i miss the naked girls too, but if it is going to hurt the site with people like google pulling out their ads that help support the site, they have to go.

the list is no:
nakedness
no porn
no links to porn

it is really that simple.

i was talking to a friend today about a board he is on, ls1tech.

there is nothing! not ever swearing allowed, super lame!

if it will fly on fox, it will fly here basically.

for the record, i completely disagree with what google has done, but there is nothing that can be done about it at this point.

i know that people have offered to contribute, but that can not be counted on as a month to month contribution.

would you like to see something like e30tech with the premium membership bs? i would not.

constantly bitching about it will not bring it back.

james has been footing the bill for everything on his own along with upgrades and mainting the site when things break. not to mention it is all done on his free time.

if the porn has to go so he can recoupe some money and or not have to pay out of pocket for the site, so be it.

[bmwm42]

anyway you can r3v approve your stories lolz

[m73m95]

What advertisements? I don't see any.....with AdBlock :)

Maybe someday sponsors will find a way to keep those off of forums as well!

[der affe]

i was getting ready to post some more when it happened actually.

i will have to check to see if it is ok, before i post anymore. if i can, i will.

for those who missed james's explaination, i will repost it.

.................................................. .................................................. .

When it comes to money the thing to keep in mind is I always want to improve this place, improve this community, and continue to keep the site going.

For the past ~6 years 90% of the costs of the site have come out of my pocket. Server upgrades, bandwidth, software licensing, etc have fallen under that financial cap. While we do have advertisers at the top right we don't charge them a ton of money to advertise. My thought is they are trusted companies that I would personally do business with, therefor I'd like to pass them along to the community.

During the start of this R3V was financially supported by MR325, Josh, and myself. Due to financial burden they had to step back from the financial responsibility of the site and leave it to me. Every server upgrade, license cost, etc has come from me.

Recently I added a banner to the bottom of the site provided by AdSense (Google), the point of this was to provide additional revenue streams to further improve the site and add more back to the community.

Google brings in ~$1000 gross per month. Base site costs are $200 a month to just keep the site going.

Each year the R3VLimited party costs me around $2500 - $3000 in total cost to put on. This goes toward kegs, food, plates, snacks, propane, everything needed to put on the party.

This year R3V paid Andrew over $700 to make shirts to give away to all R3VLimited Party attendees, plus whatever we had left over would be given away at the picnic.

Last year I spent around $3000 on server equipment, licenses, and other improvements to keep us going.

When you add all of this together it goes like this.

$2400 a year to run R3V as a base
$300 a year for software licenses to VBulletin, MozyPro, etc
$3700 a year for the party
$3000 a year for server upgrades, improvements, and whatever new hardware I want to buy to toss toward the site.

Google at the time was pulling in around $750 a month after taxes, other ads combined for the year pulled in around $100.

$850 a month in revenue = $10,200 and $9,400 in yearly expenses.

Some of you can imagine that this will hurt R3V, and hurt the image of the site, but let me tell you one thing.

A) I love this place, I love this community, and my goal is never to take anything away from it
B) I know my financial limits to support this site, and to allow pornography to remove over $10,000 in yearly revenue is something I cannot financially sustain anymore
C) Language, our typical harsh rough self is still something that can remain, nobody is stopping that.
D) R3V is not going anyway. If the advertisers come back and tell me the F-off then I will suck it up and deal with it. The party may become smaller, and other things may take a slight delay/slide.

For those of you who thing I am turning into E30Tech when it comes to advertising, think about this.

At our current trend before Google removed our advertising account (which I am trying to resolve with them) my yearly Profit in pocket was $800 dollars (all of these are rough estimates remember)

That is $800 dollars a year that i pay myself to run this place.

Also remember we don't charge for any additional features like e30tech, no premium member stuff, no banner ads cluttered all over the site, etc.

I don't post here a ton, but when I do, please try and see things from my eyes.

Thank you,

--James
