Donators, Advertisements, and more!
As I'm sure you've noticed. I've added advertisements to LogicalGamers. I hate that I've had to do this, but a source of income is needed to take LG to the next level. I hope you understand why I had to do this. Now, if you don't like advertisements you will have a chance to get rid of them. You can do one of three things.


  1. Donators will not be shown advertisements
  2. All members of Underground Silver and above will not be shown advertisements.
  3. You can pay 1m LGG to remove advertisements. Contact me if you're interested.



I've also added a donator usergroup for those who want to help out LG. You can become a donator by clicking this link. You will receive a donator badge (seen below this paragraph) and will not be shown advertisements. Again, I hope you understand why we're having to do this.



Monthly contests! Now that we'll have a source of income we can now hold monthly contests with cash prizes! The contest will be decided upon that month. The contests will start Either June 30th or early July.

You might want to add the add to other themes due to the fact I can not see any.

They where added. Do you have an adblocker installed?
#4
I am assuming so because I do not see the ad on any other theme.

I donated and didn't get a badge. What a jip.
#7

Sorry, I have to do it manually so vBulletin doesn't kick UG and staff out of their usergroup. Should be good to go now.

If the permissions are the same as mine then you should be able to donate and still see the ads. I'm glad that my refresh spam is generating revenue for LG and the adverts don't bother me one bit.

Thomas i'll give you a paypal account with about 17 dollars in it for free but it isn't verified.
#12
Just donated. How do I get them back? Lol
Edit: Yay I see them again!
#13
Can i donate USD for the badge ?
#14
Cool. And I take this opportunity to say, I'm selling LG gold for this.

Anyways, good idea, but doesn't that cut the amount LG gets from the ads?
#15
Click the Donate button up top. Tis what I did. :3

@Boob, ads that small don't generate that much revenue per person anyway. Paying a small fee of $5.00 actually gives more per month to LG than sticking with the Advertisements.
#16
I'm thinking there should be an option to donate more. Like ten or twenty dollars.
#17
When i go to donate :(

Sorry, try it now.

@clover Those options have been added :)
#19
Uhhh I donated a long time ago. And I doubt the money actually got to LG... Does that count? xD
#20
@Thomas: Nifty. Next week or later today I shall donate more.

@Smithno: I don't think that really counts. Lol
#21
Lame.
I'd donate if I got paid more than minimum wage.
Does adblock remove ad revenue?
#22
I'm assuming it does.

#25
