You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

For the web in general, almost all site make their money from advertising. creative-focused sites often have crowdfunding, tips, etc., and many news sites offer subscriptions, but what about all the smaller sites without a large enough userbase to find themselves outside of advertising? should a portion of your ISP cost go toward the sites you browse? a new tax to support public funding?

I'm fresh out of ideas.

Current S.O.P. is to pay a traffic company to send a bunch of bots to your site to inflate traffic numbers. On the one hand, i t s relly scummy. OTOH, I suspect that this pays a great deael of my salary as a creative, and the only people getting screwed are advertisers who are too dumbto know the difference between organic and inorganic traffic
