Donations to keep TMMB running for the next 12 months

[king1]

yes we had thought about this, I also think the use of a post bot and referral/donation links might be a good option going forward...
Another idea of Nzoomeds was some kind of tipping system, maybe with crypto... 

There are plenty of ideas and plans in the works, including a new website, updates to the messageboard, themes, plugins.  I have a test version of the board to try a few of these things here

@nzoomed has the keys - nothing will happen until he has a bit more time unfortunately

Look mint - well done.

Always better to be self-propelled. Lots of people weary of crypto.

Found adsense is a bit of a rip unless you have lots of traffic. Display ads for the likes of Westpac and still plenty of eyes see it but the reward is not there. But dare say it would be around enough to pay the hosting and a little left over with current traffic. It would be a start in self funding anyway until something else is found.

 I block adverts everywhere myself so not much of an advocate for that myself, and I think you lose the substance of the site when its smothered in ads. 

I would like to see something a little more cultured,  maybe like geekzone do with a monthly sub of a few $$ for ad free or the like.  whether anyone would pay it or not? 

like you say you really need large numbers to make it pay, but for that to happen the site needs to be a decent proposition, growing and evolving...
