    we arent monetizing the site - we still need a way to fund the project and snowcore have kindly agreed to give use a bulletproof server that we use for caching and proxying between our storage server

    all money ever donated or gained is invested back into the project - we arent making anything

      people are giving you way too much grief about other things, but you are most definitely monetizing the site.

        ive made nothing from the advertisement on the home page - instead we were donated a server by snowcore to act as our proxy and caching server. No monetary gain has come from the advertisement and the storage server is paid out of pocket since we havent gotten much donations yet
