Ad-Free Till April Fool's Day!

[Mistermoonlight]

And it's no April Fool's joke (those are still to come!)

Our members have purchased enough credits to make our first 3 months ad-free!

I've applied them to our account. Thank you so much for rocking like you do, folks!

I know that lostcause was the first one, and I"m pretty sure that ohleesa paid for a month, but I don't know who the third person was. But we will hunt you down and thank you.

I thought they didn't roll over like that? Or do you have some super special mojo as Board creator to make it happen?

[Mistermoonlight]

They don't roll over. But three folks paid the $7 for a monthly ad-free account, with a limit of 50,000 views per month, so we've got 3 months paid for.

If, by some chance we go over that 50,000 views we'll have to do some more fund-raising, but, so far. I think we're pretty safe. And if we ever do go over 50,000 views in a month, it will be time to start thinking about ways that we can use that in the future for revenue and growth.

Ok I understand now..The $21 rolls over but the 150k doesn't.

So if we get over 50,000 views the ads come back? I see the good and the bad in this. The good, more people are finding us. The bad, we need to do more fundraising now because the ads are back.

[Lostcause]

Yeah I think it stores every 7$ as a "ticket". You can then spend 1 ticket on 50.000 more views, or 30 more days, whichever is needed.

I know what it is that kills our bananas...it's everytime we get ads!

[Mistermoonlight]

That was amazing. We hit it in less than a week. I'd never have guessed that would happen. But I checked on the ad-free page, and that's what it said.

The ads popped up this morning. Luckily I had an extra 7 credits someone had bought that hadn't been applied to a month yet, so I used them. But if this keeps up it's gonna be a bit more expensive to remain ad-free. Credits for 50,000 views have already been bought and applied to February and March.

By the way, I want to say thanks to a member who purchased 21 credits for us on January 3rd. They wish to remain anonymous, but thank you so much!

Wow awesome! Big thanks indeed.
