We are paid up until March, so there shouldn't be any advertisments on our forum at all. I've just complained to Proboards. Hopefully, they will rectify this ASAP. Thanks for your patience.

Just found out that it wasn't a mistake. We already burned through our 50,000 ad-free page views for December. That's never happened before. Unfortunately, it's not because of all the rampant activity here, but the public setting we switched to. There are a lot of bots and such viewing pages and eating away at our advertisement free allotment.
I just changed it back so now guests must log-in if they wish to post. That should keep our page views under 50,000 each month.

As you can see, April requires a donation of $7 in order to keep our boards advertisement free. If you haven't donated yet, then please scroll to the very bottom of the forum page and click on the link, "Click Here To Make This Board Ad-Free" in red.
FYI, I just put a lot of money down to keep our social network ad-free for a couple years at $25 a month because I believe in what we're doing. The Cult of Cthulhu may not have the numbers, but we have something even more valuable. The faith must be kept to ensure we have something to put faith in. So please do your part over here. Thank you.

CS Yes, brother Yrreiht was gracious enough to provide the funds... again.
Those who have already donated shouldn't have to keep putting up the $7. Everyone who uses these boards must contribute at some time or another - or be tossed into the unquiet void for Azathoth's cruel and unintelligible amusement. I want to see more donations in the next few days so that May, June, and July can be taken care of, as well. Investing in the Cthulhu Cult is self-investment.

Is there anything that Ads arn't on these days? It amazes me that greed has come so far you need to pay just for data on a website. Frankly i can't wait until we get knowledge and some webpages free. Its sickening enough were the only animals to pay to be on the earth. Sigh some days it looks like the only terroists are the US gov itself. FYI to any FBI Spies out there they screw you over to why work for people who will evict your home in a heartbeat even if you do them this service? Why forsake what America was founded on for a little piece of paper? It reminds me of Ben Franklin's quote "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

You should know that your thinking is deeply flawed on multiple levels.
Everybody must pay. Human beings must work for their existence. Nothing is free, and precious little that is worthwhile comes easily or all at once. Everyone suffers. This is how our universe was designed. Why should you get to enjoy the Cult of Cthulhu forum or anything else without putting something in the kitty? Are you exempt? Are you above the General Law? What kind of species would evolve if it needn't put forth effort? I recommend you educate yourself by studying esotericism.
You think that the United States government is like a terrorist organization? Is that what you really believe, or are you so over-privileged that you feel entitled to all of the good with none of the bad?

No i know i must work to get things done. However while people work the higher ups can sit on their ass and just rake in the dough. They never worked for their money just cheat it out of others. When people don't have a equal shot at the money its not really a free country. The American Dream has been ruined by greed. Its good when its equal transation you get what you pay for. However these days thats hardly the case. The value of the Dollar just keeps going down and down while the rich just get more and more. This is causing a imbalance and a large gap in class. I think the Us gov is diaster not because fo Taxes but because they are taking away our rights. Now its legal for them to arrest people without trial or evidence. Military are performing officers duties which also violate the Constitution. Just now they passed a law where the Gov can take control of all resources. That is why i think there going over the edge. There sacrificing rights for temporary security.

Who's going to put in for May? Donate soon (that means tonight), so we don't have to go into Walpurgisnacht with a bunch of distracting ads! Thanks.

I was planning on putting in my $7 this week, but ran into a snafu with my wife's child support not getting deposited on time which threw our finances for the week off. I will be putting in come next Wednesday and apologize being late.

There sacrificing rights for temporary security. Hi Marth, I understand where you are coming from, but to assume that those in government and business do not work for what they get is a fallacy. Despite what many believe (and if certain factions in the government get their way, will change), we live in a free market economy. This means that anyone can do business and compete against other businesses in the marketplace for the consumer's trade. Granted, the independent or small business with limited resources must compete against large corporations with much greater resources and in most cases, the small business will lose out by attrition, but that is, as they say, business. The alternative to this is a communist or socialist model where either all businesses are receive an equal share of profit with the government regulating said profits or a select few businesses approved by the government are allowed to do business with the lion's share of their profits going into the state's coffers. Which model of the three is preferable to you? The ability to freely compete in the marketplace or complete government control of all trade and profits? Yes, our government has its problems, and I am one of the first to bitch and scream about them when the subject comes up. However, with regards to this discussion, until the government openly takes control of free markets, I feel the current system is the best we can hope for and I have no problem kicking in my $7 to make this board, which has helped my development so much, add free.

Before then, someone else (who hasn't donated in the last several months) should step up and contribute for May.

I just came by a little extra this week and kicked in! Awake! Bless you, brother. You're doing the Lord's work... our Lord. I already applied the $7 to the month of June. May will just have to be a constant reminder; we must be ever vigilant, taking initiative, putting forth the effort... or else we'll reap what we sow. Nothing.
I'm still waiting on more contributions. Let's take care of July and August sometime in the next few days, alright? Close out the summer in the right way. I don't want to keep harping on this issue every 3 weeks. Do you?

Nice! Very much appreciated, CS.
I know you like to do your own thing in your own way, but if you ever require some extra motivation, coaching, direction, or life lessons from the slimy green pope, just ask.
Ok, who is going to donate $7 for August?

Always do VS, rest-assured. I would not consider myself self-consumed, so I have no trouble asking questions, or for your input. Perhaps I ask in my own way as well
FYI, I'm finalizing the layouts for the summer issue of Grotto Magazine, should be out by the first week of June.
Thanks again for your contribution.
