Respect The Site, Donate
VCDQUALITY needs donations of some type to keep the site going. For the past several months X69 has put countless hours into making this site please us all.. We need to respect that and help make this work.
On the main page @ the bottom of the left menu, you'll find a donate link. Please go there and help a buddy out.
If you have any other suggestions BESIDES Sponsor ads, please suggest em here.
THnx
Peace

Thanks Lord Gandalf, I've said since day one that I'd try and keep the site up as long as possible without big annoying banner ads or popups or anything..
I'm going through some finiancial problems right now and I dont think I'm going to be able to afford the to keep the site up for much longer unless It starts atleast paying for part of itself..
I figured out today that if 1 out of every 100 visitors to the site would donate $1 to me it would pay for over half of my hosting bill each month.
I really dont want to have to put banners up.. but if by the end of the month I still dont have any donations then I'll be forced to put up annoying banner ads..
Thanks guys
-X69
Just bumpin this thread back to the top! Read it plz~

a banner wouldnt be too bad... pop-ups are the worst... but if you put banners and pop-ups on the site I'll keep coming. If I had a credit card I'd donate but I dont have one
i've made it a sticky, you have access to do that if u need to Gandalf.

If i had a working visa card (the one i have only works in norway) i would dontate 1$..
But if banners is what this site needs to keep alive, then banners it is..

yeah a banner on the top wouldnt be so bad though!
i think we could all live with that.
Is there any way you could set up a NoChex account for donations as this is probably the most used online currency in the UK, and it's reasonably annonymous.
http://www.nochex.com/
It would make donations much easier to make....and you might even get a few quid off of me.
As a new visitor to the site, (I like it so far), I'll throw out some comments/feedback. I, personally, wouldn't mind a well placed banner ad or two, and/or a sidebar ad or two. I think you should definitely have a PayPal box, and maybe an Amazon wishlist for people who want to contribute.
I work in web development, and in general, people who just pop in randomly (from a search engine or other link) won't donate anything, unless the found something particularly useful, such as tutorial that just couldn't find anywhere else or something. Websurfers these days are aware that useful sites cost money, and are willing to put up with ads, as long the ads don't drown out the content (or slow the page down to a crawl).
Some no-no's that I would suggest avoiding like the plague:
- pop-ups, pop-unders
- shockwave/flash animations
- porn ads
- annoying flashy animatd gifs
If you do put ads up, try to set the image size attributes, so that the rest of the page can render while the image is downloading. It can really annoy visitors when your page is held up because an ad-server isn't responding. Without image size attributes, the browser has to wait for the ad (or the server timeout) to render the rest of the page.
I hope you can pull it off, the design is really nice, and I think there's a lot of relevant ad material you could put in that would fit in without taking anything away from your content (CD burners, DVD's, audio-video equipment, and other things that visitors like myself are interested in anyway).

Just my opinion, which, like all opinions, should be taken with grain of salt.
Paypal pays you 5 bucks just for signing up for an account lets all sign up and send vcdquality a couple bucks k?

Seriously...banners are nothing. Hell I'm surprised you don't have any right now, every damn site these days has at least a couple.
How much BW do you need hosting monthly? And how much server space do you need? I might be able to host you for ALOT cheaper then the $200 your paying now. Just need to know those 2 things...
Montly BW:
Server Size:
we use between 7 and 12 gigs a day and the server would have to be pretty decent.. on avg i'm serving up 50 web requests/sec with 3+ million requests/day..
Donation
Learnt Alot of the scene already from this site ,so once i check how anonymous Pay pal Ill be Donating £10 and dont worry im not buying any favours just helping out a very good informative site .Laterz
You should have asked for favors.... Sexual favors 
...That was totally uncalled for, I'm sorry.
Lol
The thought did cross my mind ...LOL
Hmm... I could go for some sexual favors.. heh
-X69
Possibly try to come to a deal with a moderatly large hosting company, offering them advertisement on your page and such to host the site for you.... Just an idea, and a bad one at that i bet.

One time, my cousin Walter got this cat stuck in his ass. True story. He bought it at our local mall so the whole fiasco wound up on the news, it was embarrassing for my relatives and all, but the next week he did it again, different cat, same results, complete with another trip to the emergency room! So I run into him a week later in the mall and he�s buying another cat and I says to �em "Jesus Walt, what are you doing? You know your just gonna get this cat stuck up your ass too, why don�t you knock it off?" And he says to me "Brodie, how the hell else am I supposed to get the gerbil out?" My cousin was a weird guy....

I part own my own isp right now.. Just dont have the customers to get a fat pipe right now.. and the banners on the site dont generate shit as far as clicks go..
-X69
Do you earn per click right? ill click everytime i visit

no.. all the BANNERS on the site are from my own companies.. so i only make money when one of you buys something.. either hosting or a modchip.. the popups i make money soon as they popup.. dont matter if you click em or close em.. i still get my thousandth of a cent.. heh
-X69
ok

Just a fucked up idea I got...
make a dirty trick on us users so that when we click the sample link on a new release it opens a new window in the background with the ad so that you get cash for every look on the sample
If it helps too keep the site alive I would be more than happy to get the ad

DISCLAIMER:
When I write "Havn't seen it yet" in a moviereview about a new release I mean that I havn't seen the whole movie, only the sample.
"Written to avoid accusations of only judging by jpg"
guess I started lurking here too late to witness the PayPal box. with the new host, are all the financial woes solved? or can we still support the site in some way?
Its not really needed now that www.southo.net is providing the server.. but if you really want to there's a Donate link on the left menu..
-X69
ignore what x69 said he's a bit loopy.
give *me* all your money.
cash will do.

'k, pHo ... I have on me $34.61 plus 87 of those blue Euro coins with the purple polka dots.
Do you take either of those?
(Actually they might be green polka dots, but I kinda gave up on distinguishing that end of the spectrum when I started watching certain DVD screeners ...)
you could make a script that makes us have to press a link to see the sample. the link could go to a mod chip site or something, you'd get like 5 cents per click. then we'd be able to view the sample. After we get used to it, I doubt itd be that annoying.
though, using opera and what not, i dont care if you host pop up ads. or banners.

Cost
How much do you need to keep it running. This site is by far one of the best out there. If we all knew how much I guess more could do something. I cant at this very minute but I will as soon aS I can
Affiliate
Hey i know ive come a bit late to this thread, but i only just signed up!
I was thinkin that i know loads of people who download movies etc like me and enjoy to sit back and smoke a joint etc quite a lot and most people a talk to on irc enjoy thier pot aswel.
Im not tryin to offend people that dont or nething just that i found a website Everybodydoesit and they offer a 10% referal scheme. Sureley the site could make a load of money by becoming and affiliate with them and just gettin people to buy stuff from them!
If someone wants a bong for example, they spend £20 and get a cool bong that is cheap and the site they use loads gets £2 in the process.
Just makes sense to me

Donations
I don't have a $1, but i'll give you a £1 anytime if I could find a way of getting it to you, as you must save me a fortune in magazines & other media info rubbish
Old joke goes :
Dear Mum, I'm sending you a £1. But it won't be this week.

I'm an artist. If there is someway that I could do some artistic thing for your site, I will. But I don't have $$ and visit your site every day. Does your site need simple imagery (whatever) FREE of charge? No prob...let me know. Or take what you want of my art from http://home.earthlink.net/~jondblai...lery/index.html
and use it on the site somehow.
If people don't tell you enough: - THANK YOU.
I hope people w/ $$ appreciate properly...
I don't know 'bout that clothing idea...
Do you guys really want caps, hooded jackets, etc. to say VCDQUALITY.COM all over them for everyone to see. That could implode on us all. There's GOT to be a way to keep this site financially-backed BESIDES a pseudo-form of mass awareness of what this site is for (and why).
Here's what I suggest:
If anyone out there makes enough money to be more than financially stable, regularly use this site for reference, then send a small donation to them, damnit!
