Our forums are free. We rely on the community to help fund our forum.
However, the last few months we have not quite reached our monthly goal. We have been sustaining due to mail-ins, Tapatalk and a friend of the forum from last year.
We do not have advertising on our forum, except what is built-in to Tapatalk. Last month we pulled in a whopping $7.43 in shared ad revenue.
The decrease is mainly due to ad blockers. The average is around $19.
Our goal is to remain as transparent as possible which is why use Paypal. When we get a donation, it instantly pops up on our bar.
When we are fully funded for the month, it disappears. If the bar on the top right is gone, please wait until next month before donating.
As you long time DP vets know, we hate to ask for help. But, here we are.
Thank you for being a part of this amazing place we call Debate Politics.
Question
If a substantial number white list this site, I believe that is the term for removing the ad block, would that make a sizeable change in ad revenue?

I think I made the bar go away for this month.
Would love to but am strapped for cash atm.
Really? Because we have cash ATMs on pretty much every corner here.
If only it was that simple.
In your profile settings there is a donation link.Is there an area to do this once the monthly bar has gone away? I thought I read something that said to not donate if the goal has already been met, but it seems to not have been in this post.

I'm in a position to donate two or three hundred dollars of American currency.
I like this web-forum, and (thus far, overall) I admire the moderators and administrators.
And all-in-all, the ratio of right-wing nut-jobs
to
left-wing nut-jobs
to
thoughtful, intelligent, independent, non-partisan-political commentators (like myself) seems quite agreeable.
The thing is, before I drop that kind of coin, I will need some assurance.
I need assurance that, if I contribute in such a magnanimous and beneficent fashion, I won't find myself so quickly censured or banned for simply telling the truth.
I'm a truth-teller.
And the truth isn't always politically-correct, nor is it kind or necessarily pretty.
So, here's the deal;
If I contribute, I want to remain immune from warnings, admonitions, and threats of temporary (or permanent) banning.
In return, I promise that I will always be fair, impartial, objective, and (most importantly) truthful.
So, if some poster attacks me in an insane fashion, and I advise him to seek professional counseling for his mental condition, I need to know that I won't be hassled with bothersome admonitions of an insulting nature.
And if some other poster slanders me in some absurdly-immature way, and I lay the offending gentleman in the weeds with my keen wit and scathing intellect, I have to have some assurance that I will be immune from prosecution and 'punishment'.
Quid pro quo, Clarice.
Tick-tock.

I can assure you that donations NEVER earn any special treatment from the mods. We enforce the rules regardless of one's time on the site, donations status or political lean. While we would appreciate anything you care to contribute to keeping the site up and running, we can't and won't be "bought" per se.
