Hey ryonaloli! i missed you in the webchat last night

20$ isn't a lot for a lot of people, but I'm a young NEET from the 3rd world so that would be like the equivalent of a day's wage here, if I had a job.

I'll still make sure GUROchan is running for the foreseeable future (even if the ahead is tough, eventually requiring server or domain migrations as things go south). Luckily bandwidth isn't a big issue in this age, but RAM (and more recently, storage) is. GUROchan is already hundreds of gigabytes, and from our research, our host charges more for space than most (we can't host with cheap commercial services for obvious reasons). We already got suspended from 2 services due to our content. I'm hoping it will be enough for the upcoming few years. My friend kuz has also purchased me a 2TB disk just so I can do monthly backups, in case the server experiences failure or is suspended someday.

The ads obviously won't bring a whole lot from what I see, it's not surprising most advertisers want to avoid their content on GUROchan.

We will never censor anything here. If this attitude eventually makes us ineligible for ads (a possibility with the current direction of things), maybe we can consider donations then. But for now, while ads are slightly inconveniencing, they are a more stable source of money and saves us from begging to our users.

I am still thankful for your offer. I don't want to rely on users, but I can make a donation page, and if it seems the donations are sufficient to replace the ad revenue, we can take them down after seeing the situation.

Here is a page for cryptocurrency donations:
