Are you sure ?

He only comes on here every few weeks to see if anyone’s khazi needs unblocking .

Spends most of his time smiling at his webcam at serial killers and making Pussy jokes :lol:

Not the same ads as last time, make it unusable and got me out of the habit of coming on here every day as it wouldn’t fucking work

Saying that. Maybe it’s best to put the old ones back up.

Quick update.

Thanks for the response from everyone.

We may have two other options.

1: Someone on the videos has mentioned potentially sponsoring the website annually to cover the hosting package.

2: Another lovely chap has offered to host the whole site on his server for free. I'm not sure if this is possible yet but I've asked someone who knows about such things to explore the possibility.

No adverts for paying subscribers and adverts for non-paying subscribers?
If that’s technically possible of course.
Doubt that can be done old chap.

Subscription only. £25 a month.

If you won't pay it you're clearly a Spurs fan.

UPDATE:


Last night myself and Geo launched a Patreon account, the idea being that we'll both be able to take a couple of days off work each month and just concentrate on hammers Chat stuff (which has become incredibly time consuming).

During the video we mentioned the forum hosting and associated costs.

Within a couple of hours we received a ludicrously generous donation to cover the forum costs for 12 months.

I'm not even sure the chap uses the forum but to say we're chuffed is an understatement.

So a massive thank you to Ed (obviously we've thanked him personally) . . . the funding issue has now gone completely.

We're now going to modernize the website a bit free from the shackles of the financial burden.

Happy posting.

Or a charge for perverts and a discount for emotionally challenged - bit like half-and-half scarves...
