| Aplologies for the annoying ADS guys.. when was this activated? not by me ok  November is our domain name anniversary.. i guess we were lucky last year ads were not activated.. So now we have to use credits not just for domain name but also to remove the ads. Here are the options to deactivate it.. click image so see full size.  We have a total of 6257 credits right now.. deduct around 4000 credits for the 2009 and 2010 domain name reservations. I dont know why they havent deducted any from are credits yet or maybe its just not updated. So all in all we have around 2000 credits left. Now the question is what do you guys want to do with it? reserve our domain name for november 2011 or use it to deactivate the ads. Like it says HEREIf our forum has enough credits, we can spend them on the following features: ● Annual DubDrift domain name reservation ● Disable advertisements on your forum (for either members only or for both members and guests ● Increase the storage space for our gallery ● Edit our forum's template And again donations don't come as profit to the site admin but instead it goes straight to forumotion and automatically converted into points that can be spent for forum use only ok. Thanks guys  |

| As a donor I can vouch that the funds go directly to the webdev as credits as issued by the forum site owners.....every little helps. Right now it would be advisable to keep the site running for another year, even if there are ads running.... Ahmed, all you have to do is pay some money, then you dont have to get married...  ...online ads are like the Mafia....you either pay them hush money, or they will continue to "make you an offer you cannot refuse!"

Buying credits with a credit card via Paypal:
500 CREDITS ( 5.95 USD ) 1000 CREDITS ( 11.90 USD ) 2000 CREDITS ( 21.42 USD ) 3000 CREDITS ( 30.94 USD ) 4000 CREDITS ( 40.46 USD ) 5000 CREDITS ( 49.98 USD )
Costs about a pair of mini tires to remove the ads for a year  |
