I have seen a little confusion about adverts over the last few days, so I thought I'd create this thread to tell you what's happening!
Since no-one has subscribed or donated in a very long time now, I am trying my best to sustain the community through just its adverts. However, since it is just too much work trying to find individual companies and websites to advertise in certain areas, I have added ourselves to Project Wonderful (http://www.projectwonderful.com/). Using that website, ads are sold through an Infinite Auction system. This is where you bid on an advertising slot, and for as long as you are the high bidder, your ad is displayed.
You bid for the daily price of putting your advert on ATK, and some of these prices are displayed below the banners here on ATK. Just in case some of you can't find all the adverts, I will point them out for you: the navbar (half banner size), above the footer (leaderboard size), to the right of the forum (skyscraper size), and below every first post (leaderboard size).
I have the minimum price of $0.1 a day on 3 of the adverts, and $0.05 on the one to the right of the forum. If these are met throughout a month, we will have enough money to pay for our current Teamspeak server and part of our hosting costs, not bad I say!! Of course, we could well receive more money a month, and so then we can start up the prize draws again and more!
Anyway, I hope this has informed you of our new money-making schemes, and if you have any suggestions let me know!
