    I've never broadcasted this, since I've been able to keep the food on the table and stay out of the red, but ad revenue has been on the decline and I've barely been making enough to cover the monthly server costs of running the site.

    Hence, I've re-implemented the "account upgrade", which offers:
    • 1 - No ads
    • 2 - Add up to 300 custom smilies
    • 3 - Will likely have a visual indicator next to username in the future...thinking through a few things here, in conjunction with re-introducing the Plus sxn in the near future
    Recurring or monthly options -- anything helps. See options here:

    (also accessible from user menu > "upgrade/donate")

    triple digit donation and we can talk...though, i think a pizza hut logo next to your name would look better

    Sounds good I like it. If I can sell these old revival themed fidget spinners I should have enough!
