Just an idea that I have tossed around here and there. No one likes ads on the site. I am referring to the Google ads/AdChoices, whatever. We all know, that especially with adblockers becoming more and more prominent you aren’t making that much off of them. Why not make a progress bar appear on the site at the beginning of each month for donations and if X amount is met, then you disable ads for the following month or something? That would be a good way to cover server costs and get rid of annoying ads.
