i just realized something, there's no ads at all - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

How come this site has no pop ups, no banners, nothing whatsoever.
So then how does the site survive???

go to http://www.zilvia.net
You will then see a couple ad's and a place where members can donate money to help out.  For the most part, West has just been using his own money to run things.

So then if i go to that page, and click on the ads once a day, would it help the site?

I've done everything for free but with the new website design I am starting to charge for Ad space. I started a LLC and have everything all setup to do so. The site has progressed along from a Hobby to a Job, although its still a hobby for me, but there is no Hobby I know of that requires so much time and money to keep the site running. You guys shouldn't be bothered by the Ads on the site, I try my best to keep them as Content related as possible (the magazine ads are for car magazines) <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'> When the new forum is up I will put a ad in the top right of the forum. So hopefully I will be able to make a small profit to at least pay for my time and money I have invested into the site.

Just to add...

I can personally say that some of those sponsors are excellent companies to do business with as well. When I am shopping for something, I always look at compaies that advertise here (although a dedicated section would be nice - since the revolving ad on the main page requres lots of reloading to find the ones you want - hint *edit* in additiona to the ads on the other pages*).

Another thing is that when you buy from a company who's ad you saw here, let them know. That way, they know that their ads are working and they will continue to support the site.
