I put a google ad bar somewhere on the message board?

I could place it across the top above the banner or down the left or right side.

Its not flashy, not animated, but displays contextual ads based on the content of this site, and the site earns money based on how many clicks the ads get. For example about 33 clicks is $1.

Just a way I have found to help keep the site expenses paid for going forward, but I don't want to hack all of you guys off because many of you are really picky about ads and things.

Before anyone says it again.....I WILL NEVER PUT POP UPS ON THIS SITE.

I personally do not have a problem with donations for the site.  Most of us cannot contribute to the day to day operation of this site in any other way.

I don't have a problem with giving donations either, but I understand Chris's point about donations having a hook (even when not intended by the donor).

I'd happily buy an Ash Gray t-shirt or two as pictured, though not at Rob's current pricing (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'm sorry you dislike my current pricing. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Here's what the base cost is for some items:

Plain white t-shirt= 13.99
Ash grey t-shirt= 14.99
golf shirt= 16.99
sweatshirt= 20.99
mug= 10.99
ball cap= 12.99

That's with no markup-you could add a dollar to each item and that would generate some revenue. Even if you made nothing at all it's a still a win-win situation since it helps promote the site. It would be nice if we could get a big version of that image to span the back of the t-shirts. I'm sure Gary could give us a larger high quality jpeg of the images.
