There's a new URL to access fail:

http://fail.samrush.net/

I suggest you guys bookmark that. If this site ever disappears and turns into adspam (which it inevitably will), that link will remain up and we'll be able to use that until we can get a new domain name. I'm currently attempting to put ads up here so that the site can support itself without me needing to pay out-of-pocket. It costs $8-$12 a year to get a good domain name. If we can generate that much money with ads, then there's no reason to be sitting on the ticking time bomb that is tewin.ml.

There's always lota.cf

You forgot about lota.cf

Ratburntro44 · 2014-08-27 09:10:15

lota.cf, tiwen.ml, those are also freenoms and would disappear at the same time as tewin.ml

Different55 · 2014-08-27 09:23:05

Maybe not at the same time, but definitely in a close time period.

I think frade uses lota.cf because of how many times it comes up when you search Fradeshan on google

Elochai · 2014-08-27 10:49:05

Is that it? That's well cheap, why don't I just pay for it? Honestly

I don't think any of us want you to have control over the domain name.

Different55 · 2014-08-27 11:40:21

Because I don't like being indebted to people.

Things are looking good for being ad-supported

how much $ will you get a month currently
(although you probably can't tell me until a few days)

I did a rough estimate of the daily page views to calculate approximate revenue per day on this calculator. It gave $1 per day, though that would seem surprisingly high and unlikely to me.

What did you put it on? I gave it 100 and random blogs or content and got 0.1 per day.

Ratburntro44 · 2014-08-27 13:18:42

I put 1000 with random blogs and content. I used the number of posts per hour to approximate the number of posts per day, multiplied it by some amount to estimate views and then added some amount for other stuff. Regardless, it seems high even with 100.

Different55 · 2014-08-27 13:24:12

.1 per day is close to what I am seeing, and it's sufficient to sustain the site. I just need $12 a year.

.1 per day is actually pretty impressive, you can even make a small profit from that.

Different55 · 2014-08-27 13:28:44

I've earned 16 cents today.

How much do you have to get before they pay out?

Different55 · 2014-08-27 13:30:50

Not a darn clue.

Ratburntro44 · 2014-08-27 13:33:54

Well, if we continue with what is apparently happening so far then that should be plenty.

Also, what do we do with any extra money? Save it for a rainy year?

No idea. Keep it in the fail trust account?

I'd say save at least one year's worth but as far as I'm concerned you might as well keep any extra. Hosting costs, I guess.

Different55 · 2014-08-27 13:54:29

Maybe if there's enough extra we could try going after a real VPS instead of the sometimes unreliable but free PS that we have now.

Coolio · 2014-08-27 13:56:20

Ads are pretty good everywhere except if you go to the bank. The space is there, but still no ad.

Eh, VPS can cost quite a bit. Besides, there's always the offer of putting it under the samrush.net hosting available if you need to change it (not VPS but still reliable).

Coolio · 2014-08-27 14:26:13

Is there a way to center the ad instead? The left align makes me uncomfortable.
