We have such in Northern California. They're called marijuana labs. :speechless:

cool.........1 more reason why i should move to cali, to take over the money tree ;)

In all honesty, the advertisers started approaching me. There are now at least five or six retail stores that have literally grown out of nothing because of the traffic they receive from my forums.

If you mean out of the forums, my private forums accept donations.

how much do u make w/ donations??

well... i dont really want my members (kids ^_^) to spend money or nething so i'ma get a banner up so i can get some money for the hosting and stuff :)

I make my money via www.designdevise.com :)

nice excuse for advertising your site, eh? ;)

And I make my money from helping people (vborg advertising forum etc)

I'll keep the actual amount private, but it's a few hundred or so a month. So my site is essentially ad-free and sponsor-free.

That's pretty good. I had trouble maintaining any sort of reasonable donation revenue so I had to go to advertising banners. I still get donations from time to time but they are quite infrequent. Many people donated a lot in the beginning, but it is hard to get repeat donations from people. :)

yeah.......i might ask ppl to donate......would be a lot easier ^_^

what do u say tho?? o_O
