Re: WHY ARE THERE ADS ON MY BOARD?
Danta most likely has a program to deal with these sorts of things. I'd just like to give a couple of comments about ads. One, I don't really mind them much because they aren't flashing five thousand times a second. I hope they do bring you enought money to keep Akheva up and running. Two, I think you should keep the phone based system because of several reasons. Some people, such as myself, don't have credit cards. Others who do don't want them on the internet, not matter how secure the website. Third, I just think you should cut down the cheesy crap above the ads.
Get rid of the ads, no credit card needed!
First off the entire, "no credit card needed," sounds like a giant rip-off. That joined with the company of the exclamation point sounds ridiculously close to a scam. Just my three cents.

Re: WHY ARE THERE ADS ON MY BOARD?
it's nothing special, just something to block pictures from certain hosts, in this case http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com I believe, I could also just block every picture from another host then akheva, but then all the avatars and sigs are gone.
p.s. it's a plug-in for mozilla firebird.
or one could just check the source code and block the correct url

Re: WHY ARE THERE ADS ON MY BOARD?
Several gigs of transferred data... daily.
Frank: I'll change that phrase, indeed, even though it's true (getting rid of the ads doesn't require a credit card), it might sound too flashy. The phone system will be kept when Ecopay (the credit card system) is implemented, as a backup system for people without cards.
It's too early to judge of the success of the ads, I need at least a week to get any relevant stats, but so far the results are promising and are about what I expected.

Re: WHY ARE THERE ADS ON MY BOARD?
The main reason I always liked Akheva.com is because it didn't have ads. Oh well, no big deal I guess. We were all told a premium service was coming, but I thought it would have a lot more features, not get rid of ads.
I guess if I was you I would need a way to make these boards pay... so I have no hard feelings.

Eesh! Hmm, I'm gettin (or starting) my own server soon. Perhaps I'll host it for free? It'll be at my cousin's company with a T3 connectio, but I don't know for sure yet. That's only if you would consider it.

Re: WHY ARE THERE ADS ON MY BOARD?
Thanks a ton for offering bro, there is small issues though. First I need to have physical access to the servers 24x24, and I live in Paris. Second, the servers take up a whole rack.
With the banner ads revenue I should have enough money to buy a second hand rack (500-800 USD), space at a hoster for a year (1000 USD) and bandwidth (?? USD).
