    Hello, Antares!

    Since we're a little low on funds still, I'm stepping up measures to monetize the website. You'll notice that almost all outbound (non-internal/antaresfrontier) links will first have you wait a few seconds before you pass through to the destination. This is probably annoying. But it pays decently.

    If you like, you can remove the annoyance for only $0.49. Since I know this might bother a few people, I'm doing a 50% off discount on all account rewards to lower the barrier for removing this type of advertising as much as possible while still retaining value. This special will end July 1st.

    Click here to see our rewards.
    Note: You can buy rewards multiple times. They will stack. (Ex: Buying Pro 6 times will give you 6 months.)

    I hope you all don't mind, I'm only trying to turn a hobby into something more.

    Cheers,
    Kaz

    First vote.
    I personally extremely disliked the first ads you got, but now they seem to be getting more sensible. So, I tolerate them but am not exactly okay with them still.

    I think some ads are broken? I tried four times to check alerts and it'd send me to ad fly with an error so I had to go back.

    Hey, do what's necessary to keep the server and yourself afloat Kaz. I really don't even mind what they're about.

    I hope this will dig the server out of debt land.

    Debt land sounds like a bank themed themepark in the circle of life.

    It won't. It's just a supplement. I've made $0.13 since implementing it, and that's mostly because I forgot to whitelist the definition links in the Rules area.
