free and long-term reliable? I am not sure, to be honest, they all started clamping down on this and using custom auth. Technically, you can still use Gmail via an auth token instead of a password if you don't mind Google and jumping through a few h…

(Quote) Yeah, it's an option, and it's what used to be done here when it started, it worked, the real issue now is the lack of engagement from hosts on LES, so I guess it's a case of building the numbers up again, it's not 0, don't get me wrong, but…

(Quote) Thanks for the suggestion. Right now to be honest, I am just focusing on getting the software up to date and stable so v2 can go live, then I will see if adsense is covering it or not. I just really hate the idea of charging anyone to be h…

(Quote) That feels more like a 100+ hours extra to be honest, maybe I am overestimating it.
-
(Quote) Same, I don't recall having to do it on my old personal one, I would have had to reactivate that one but I decided to use a new one for this specifically to keep things separate, probably a US/UK double tax treaty thing
-
(Quote) Yeah, it was all considered. Ultimately, I don't believe LES can grow without a budget, if people don't believe this and have practical and considered ideas, I am honestly all ears. Like if I want to help FOSSVPS to grow it would be great f…

(Quote) I am going to bring them back, they will still be optional, there will be no supporter tag, I realised afterwards that the tag brings ego into it, if you want to support it with ads on, you will be able too, if not no problem, if anyone then…

(Quote) Probably just accept failure I guess, no one is going to take these assuming enterprise grade :)
-
(Quote) Cheers, in the words of a popular 80s British pop star, it's good to be back.
-
(Quote) Sorry I should have been more clear, I mean where and on what terms?
-
What did you have in mind, more info?
-
* Karma system feature set cut down and finished. (animation toggle added to the top bar) * Support system built into vanilla so we won't need a separate VPS (Cost reduction) * Theme selection moved to top bar instead of profile edit. (Image) (Im…

(Quote) At £0.09 per day, it will take a while to find out, I had to register with the IRS and complete a W8 form and tax treaty documentation so probably not Ireland, but regardless the VAT is only an issue for donations not for AdSense, and genera…
-
(Quote) I will have a look when I am ready to start reformatting the right hand bar, I am just a bit concerned with how hard it is to get listed, so it may not be the broadest spectrum of offers available. Nothing personal, just an observation. Als…
-
(Quote) Yeah its fairly trivial I guess, but there was so many objections to adverts like this during the initial consultation, I decided not to go in that direction. (Quote) API or iframe?
-
(Quote) They just collect the taxes so that our royal family can help to support rich people's theme parks like Epstein Island.
-
(Quote) Laws dont apply to the wealthy, I am writing this on an i5 :)

(Quote) the evidence screenshots are what I was talking about... not the narative
-
(Quote) Ok, well that's a different reason from what he said on Discord, which I don't want to say because I don't know if he said it here, and it's personal, but I guess both can be true. Either way, the donation box is empty, I assume he or you ha…

I don't speak Romanian, so I can't validate any of the evidence, moving to reviews in trust. If anyone can read that, please comment.

(Quote) I am a director of a VAT-registered limited company related to hosting. I took advice that donations are risky/grey area to begind with and then double for a hosting-related forum that I also advertise on, and own, the advice was to not take…
-
(Quote) I am going to close the other thread because its causing confusion and splitting the conversation: here is what I said in the other thread: Even advertisements that they voluntarily show to themselves? I can't/won't take donations; the re…
-
(Quote) Yeah it's a bit disappointing but maybe Google AdSense was a bad choice to start with. I am not going to be taking donations, I have tried to say it in many polite ways, this community is circling the gutter, I am trying to offer a solution…
-
It's fine I will just eat it, I will keep adverts for none logged in visitors only. I will push the updates and changes asap so it is at least secure, drop a bunch of ideas and refocus on content. If it's not going to work it's not going to work, …
-
(Quote) I am thinking of just turning supporter mode off , seems the most simple solution. Edit: done
-
(Quote) That's what LES used to have, then it went to donationbox, and all ads were removed, that box emptied out a while ago and people have been out of pocket since. There was never any way that LES taking any payment for anything in any way was …
-
(Quote) That just means ublock or dns level filtering is applying. Honestly now I have added google ads while also hating how google has wormed its way in to every facit of every day life under the lie "Do no evil" I am really starting to…
-
(Quote) I think common sense applies, i dont want a rule for everything, if common sense fails, I will add rules. If it's in the LES Exclusive section, the rule is in the section name, really. This section is transforming anyway; it now only requir…

(Quote) > Also fixed, I will find an alternative method, will probably get dinged and revenue stopped, or I might be misunderstanding the 8000 options.
-
(Quote) it might, on a good month (Quote) found that bug, fixed.
