• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

On my wife’s door at work, we have both had it and went and recovered and her company he is penalizing her for not getting the shot, financially and by making her wear a mask when she’s not in her office. It is not so much coming for her boss etc. but from corporate out of Ohio, her bosses boss kids work in and around Emery and the CDC so he stays afraid of most everything because of what they hear from that deep state, even though he’s heading to get his third shot the booster shot, stay strong we will win in the end

Yeah, but women have higher lows in IQ than men but also have lower highs in IQ. So, the highest IQ in a woman will not meet the highest IQ in men. But, the true lowest IQ people are more likely to be men. That said, there is a link between testosterone bathing in the womb and higher IQ in women. I’ve spent too much time reading on this.
 
Alright here is some real talk:

Our funds are gonna be tapped at the end of the year.

Now we do have a server in place, and we have a place (small office) for the server and internet. Basically is $500/month to keep that going, which we can mostly cover through patron support.

The big thing we are looking to lose is IT support. We flat out could not have gotten things (the server and infrastructure) stood up without the IT support.

I know people here have already made tremendous donations to get us where we are, so I feel like I’m beating a dead horse asking for donations.

We have stood up several things to try and get some revenue. The whole point of the homepage is to capture new users. If we can have a surge of new users, we can have more people to help crowd source us.

We can also sell ads on the homepage, but we need traffic there for it to be worthwhile. We never intend on sticking the obnoxious Google Adsense stuff on here, and have no plans to put ads directly on the forum. But we would like to sell ads that are neatly curated on the home page (you can see the spot we have reserved on there)

The other potential Avenue for monetization is growing the YouTube channel. If we can hit 1000 subscribers we can start receiving income from YouTube. We understand that YouTube is anti-free speech in general, but it is one of the paths we are having to pursue.

We have a shop that could bring in money if we have a surge of users as well.

Without a doubt the number one thing that will help us everywhere is growing our user base.

In the end, I’m not trying to ask for donations here. I’m really looking for ideas. Ideas to grow, ideas to monetize, anything. If we have to cut off IT support at the end of the year, so be it, and a few of us will do our best, but it puts us in a precarious position.

I mean I wouldn't be completely against a side AD banner in the main forum page add as long as it wasn't videos like rivals. If it helps keeping the board going.

Why not a subscription? How many members at $5 a month keeps you whole?

probably not popular ideas but:
-google ad the fuck outta the home page. top and side
-bump patron up to 10 or minimum 10 dollar donation a month before you're able to post.
-start a GoFundMe and post it all over facebook, insta etc. get that shit to go viral with the help of other facebook accounts on here.

theres alot of incredible GoFundMe fundraiser stories out there that are amazing. I think this movement would be perfect for it..
