“kill the culture of the site”
 
The dramatics.

First off, how she spends her hard earned money is none of our concern. 

second off, I’m sure the money she spent on whatever she wants (magazines, merch, as seen on Lana) is worth A LOT more than debt from having to run the site 
 
this conversation is disgusting and absolutely unnecessary. She isn’t asking for a cent (she’s simply suggesting options), she isnt going to stop running the site (although after some of the comments tonight I wouldn’t blame her). Literally all she’s trying to do is give herself a break and I can’t believe adding different kinds of ads is considered killing the site 

all of this over an ad that can be clicked off in less than a second

and your point is what, exactly?
 
the site has never gone down due to no funding and she’s never asked for donations or anything. 
 
she wants to earn money to run the site instead of using her own. Having to click on an x of an ad truly isn’t that big a deal as you’re making it seem 

I'm trying really hard to keep my composure here, but I just want to say that speculating on people's expenses or debts is really not nice and has struck me in a weird way. For that reason, I've removed my response detailing exactly how much it costs to run this site. If anyone else feels they need to know this information to help make a decision here, please message @admin
I apologise if this is inconvenient x

The COTCC theme is essentially finished. I had someone helping me with some of the photoshop work, but that person has been MIA the past week while I've been waiting on a slight revision I noticed I needed before launching the theme. I asked someone else to help me instead, but that person hasn't had a chance to help out with it either.
I want to make sure the theme is perfect before releasing it, rather than it being left with still needing a few tweaks and revisions. I'm just waiting on my little helpers, but as soon as everything's set, it will be up.
I've been using the WIP theme for a bit now, and I think you all will really like it. Again, it just needs a little tweak before I feel comfortable launching it, but I need to wait on others who are helping me out with it. I'm really sorry for the delay, but I am relying on some other people here (and am very grateful for their help!) x

Hey hey hey, now I'm not deliberately asking for money here! I'm not trying to throw my hands in your pockets, nor forcefully shove ads in your face.
The whole point of this thread was to ask your opinions on this before I did anything.
Yes this would be a great opportunity, but it also isn't imperative that I do this. Yes it would be nice, but this isn't a life or death matter.
Also as I've stated, I gratefully and willingly choose to host LanaBoards. & if sometimes that means paying out of pocket, then I gladly do so! Again, it is my pleasure to host LanaBoards. It is also my responsibility.
I will continue to host LanaBoards no matter what, and no matter the cost.
I'm not desperately struggling here, but more revenue for the site is never a bad thing.
Again, I am not forcefully shoving ads in your face, or even requesting that users donate. I'm simply asking if running vignette ads would be tolerable so I can earn more revenue for the site, or if users are strongly opposed to it.
No matter what, I will always continue to fund the site, even if Adsense doesn't completely cover it. I took on that duty when I bought the site in the first place!
I have a great love for Lana, and part of showing that is by collecting merch and hosting a fan site. Nothing in this world comes free!
But again, I do it all willingly. I am not complaining. I wanted thoughts about a possible opportunity. If I really didn't care or if I was super desperate, I would have silently implemented the ads permanently without saying anything at all. & this post isn't even me saying, hey I'm going to be implementing these ads for sure, leave some thoughts if you wanna. It's me genuinely asking for thoughts and opinions because I genuinely value your input before any site decision I make.
That's all x

enough with the ads  everyone better change their vote from yes to no RIGHT NOW

i feel like this forum has been so assumptious and judgemental lately... how is she acting like an "old lady"? by making folk/country music & hanging out with her friend...? and what's wrong about acting like an "old lady"? she's living more simplistically but there's nothing weird about that

Acting like an old woman? By producing the music she wants and hanging with her friends? Okay...

there's one where they remini'd her and it looks like she has cataracts
