And google ads aren't very flashy in the grey/blue interface of TWP, so they aren't that annoying if you don't donate.
Yeah, I purposly went for a similar color scheme to try and blend in with the forums as much as possible as it is.

I got a strict policy about ads:
Don't Click On Them. Whatever They Say.
So do whatever you want, if it earns you money you need to keep the site in the air, I don't care. I won't use the ads, anyway.
If I would be able to explain it properly to my parents, I sure would donate. But I just don't see that happening. "Mom, dad, I want to donate to this internet community..." nah, sounds like crap, will have to wait untill later...
The fact of the matter is that me and f0rkz pay for the server out of pocket. For a little while we were getting some okay donations ($5 here, $20 there) and that was enough to justify not having ads. I really didn't want to put them, but the donations stopped and I don't have a choice.
And really unless you're like 13, or your parents think the Internet is evil, I can't imagine they'd care about $10. Maybe that's just me though.

Even though Hober showed you the light already, I use that link a lot and it didn't change. It is still at the bottom of the forum, where it's always been.
On a side note, I am working on an updated layout for the forums, so all of those links will be on a left/right hand menu soon.
