    Just thought I'd say that this is THE ONLY SITE I have adblock disabled on, I think others with adblock on for this site should do the same. FOR SHOTBOW HURRAH!

    I gave them 100$ to compensate.
    I have adblock on because I get the seriously annoying rolling ads which actually damage and slow down your system. Sooo many temporary files saved.

    That and I have a very good antivirus system in place which means they all get flagged anyway and cause the website to lag out and break for me if the ad gets restricted 20x a second.

    So I have good reason otherwise I would :)

    Well yeah, people with donor ranks aren't too bad. I'm talking about the people who haven't(Or can't) donate, like me! I mean, I'm not the most generous of people(Well, I'm pretty generous, I just don't have the money to spare.) but I think all the people who take shotbow for granted(And thereby, free!) should help in one way or another.

    Yes I perfectly understand where you're coming from, those ads do help to generate some revenue.
    One day google won't allow those painfully annoying ads on websites.

    OH CRAP!

    Thanks a ton for reminding me, I had it enabled for every site accept MineZ.net, and this new change completely blew past me.
    Honestly, sometimes I forget it is even there in the upper right corner, staring at me, menacingly.

    Yep, Once again. Donors have already helped quite significantly, it's the freebies who should have ads on for this site. :)

    The thing is, servers are by far the most costly bill that Highlife has to deal with. Anything we can do (such as let them receive ad revenue) will help keep the Network up and running for longer. :wink: I suggest that everyone, regardless of donator status, disable ad-block.

    Pop that up to about $3,000 and your debt will be nearly half over.

    EDIT: in response to TheCrafting's post

    CORRECT! The servers cost about $36,000 a year to host, and that is JUST MINEZ. Add the other 30 or so, and you have an upper middle-classmans annual salary.

    EDIT2: That is $3,000 a month for those who are mathically challenged.

    Seriously, though. We are using very expensive technology every day, and the costs add up. I can't quote Highlife releasing the total cost, but I once heard Piti say in the MineZ.net chat that server costs were "upwards of $10k/month."
