Posting again on this place for Chibi, since obviously hes like a one legged man in an ass kicking contest with being left with the DaD like this.
I think both the donations and possible T shirt idea would help. I think Neko is sauvy enough to help with the Tshirt idea, since he draws a little himself and would know how to wrangle somethin like that.
I also believe however without regular updating to the site though theres just no point. Toga's really out there somewhere (I even still got his copy of FF7 XD) and he basically paid the dude with the server like 50 bucks a month to keep it running.
Now, heres the thing, this site has been known to average 5 GIGs a day of bandwith, 50 bucks a month hardly covered anything, that was just because the dude with the server did this as a favor to Togashi.
Now, maybe with regular updates, people will donate some, and we can maybe custom T shirt selling ideas, like artists make art that goes on the T shirt, then its sold, artist gets some, site gets some, everyones happy. Otherwise I don't see much happening with this. The board was practically deserted before hand, and the quality of posting has dropped considerably. And this isn't just on the DaD, either. If we should get some actual donation money it shouldn't go to waste and we should get new mods, prolly some help with updates, ect. Right now the board is practically unmoderated except for chibi.
Remember, places like 4chan have like 300-400 dollar a MONTH bandwith bills usually, all the time. 50 bucks is a VERY good deal.
