one cool little trick is to, before reading each page, just open up the adsense sites in new windows. read GH material. close adsense stuff, and keep browsing forums doing same thing.

So, like... we don't need to donate anymore, so long as we click the links for you, right?

[J.A.C]

wow this is awesome, maybe another server upgrade soon if we keep this up?

LOL!

GND, to date, has donated $18.37.

ROFL... the $0.37 is what gets me. :)

[ferret]

So, like... we don't need to donate anymore, so long as we click the links for you, right?

You're always welcome to donate, if you feel a desire to help out, but no, its not nearly as critical anymore. See below for more details.

wow this is awesome, maybe another server upgrade soon if we keep this up?

There's really no server upgrades available to the current server that would be useful to us (We could get more RAM, but we don't use everything we have as it is). What we're out of is CPU. If the google ads keep going well though, we will begin looking at purchasing a second server with the same configuration and shifting some games to it for balancing.

Please note: I consider extra money donated or earned by Google to be part of administrative costs and helping recover my losses from running the server in the past when donations didn't fully pay for the server. It also helps me pay my internet bills, which means I have electricity and phone to continue running the server :P

Most of the community that is over the age of 20 and works a full time job probably makes more money than I do, and I got a wife and kid to support. So any and all donations are greatly appreciated even if not necessarily needed for a given month. To be perfectly honest, I've never really been able to afford running this, I simply have because the shoe fit and cut edges elsewhere to pay the bill.

The good news? Google currently has the potential to pay for the entire server, and my internet (And possibly a second server), so even if I lost my job and moved in with parents or in-laws or something, Gamehavoc would live on, because it pays for itself.

Does more than 2 clicks a day from each person help? I click on both ads on the first thread I read, but It would be a cinch to do 4.

[ferret]

Does more than 2 clicks a day from each person help? I click on both ads on the first thread I read, but It would be a cinch to do 4.

4 clicks is better than 2 clicks, but I don't think it'll make or break us right now. Consistancy I think is more important. Some of us click every day, while some only click when I yell at them to do so. If everyone clicked once a day, we'd make a ton and could do all sorts of things.

I personally try to click once every 4-5 hours. So like I might click once from home before work, come to work, click once, click again before I leave work, then click again at home. Google does try to protect itself from people automating clicks or clicking very often, so I try to space it out.

Its not like its hard to do anyways, you click it, it loads, you hit back. Or you right click -> open new window/tab and let it load there, then close it. Takes like 5 seconds.

[YolkFolk]

Can you make it so that we get a little thingo next to our name once we have clicked at least once in a day?
Is that massively intrusive?

[J.A.C]

Im not sure if ferret can tell if your clicking it.

[ferret]

Can you make it so that we get a little thingo next to our name once we have clicked at least once in a day?

Can't do it. The links are completely in Google's control, running off a java applet linked to on their servers. Any alterations (If its even possible) violates the ToS agreement. I've no way to "catch" the clicks, to my knowledge.

[YolkFolk]

http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum89/1585.htm

I don't know if they worked out if that violated the TOS, but my guess is no. Nothing in the adsense code is altered.

[YolkFolk]

Where did a goal come from?

[ferret]

Where did a goal come from?

Price of the current server + price of the new server to be bought in February.. Assuming google makes enough. I can't afford to expand to the second server otherwise.

[Dark Knight Zer0]

that or we give uber donations

which reminds me, e-mail me your snail mail address (real name also) and get ready to start receiving 'spurty checks in the mail'.

Why checks? Mrs wants to be able to catergorize things like this into membership dues and paying via paypal is too expensive over time and hard to track without giving her access to my paypal account (and I want to keep that private) 8)

[Tech]

are we buying a company yet?

[TheShaft]

We're going to buy tech's mom next. well, we could buy her about 30 times over with our current balance though, so it shouldn't have much impact on the community budget.

I am discontinuing this thread. Its existance is technically against the TOS agreement google has. Sorry about this, please try to remember to click without me reminding every day.
