[SleeplessPanda]

Half the time they're trying to put viruses on my computer. Kaspersky does an excellent job of blocking them, but people with lesser protection could face some problems. Why is this happening all of a sudden? Also I know it's the ones on top of the page because the ads there get replaced with a "virus blocked" notice.

[XelaisPWN]

Yeah, Avast is blocking them, too >.<

AMV Hell is one of the few websites I have adblock plus disabled for. Unfortunately, that's not the case anymore :<

[hatz300]

AVG works against it too
(50 left to go, halfway! woo!)

[LOLWTFBBQ]

whoa, yeah all of the suddon those "J"-whatever adds are gone. never liked that site anyway...

[XelaisPWN]

J-List xD

Honestly, I like the site. They take FOREVER to ship things, but once they do, damn, they come fast O.o (their san diego items, that is. Never imported anything from them)

It's where I got my awesome K-on Beatles shirt ^^d

[darkzi]

jlist is a good site...the search needs a lil help but it's good

[XelaisPWN]

Yeah, the search kinda does suck xD

[RBRat3]

Id use some good ol' google Adsense for ads and if you have access to the PHP layouts id just run both Ad systems. Put in a Adsense side bar and footer ad and J-List as a header banner... as for viruses deal with them and quit your bitching your all acting like you never used a computer before XDD

[LOLWTFBBQ]

J-List xD

It's where I got my awesome K-on Beatles shirt ^^d

what the hell?! is nothing sacred? mixing the Beatles with K-on? this is bull****! Ill sue!

[Chillpalazzo]

Yeah, when your virus protection is telling you something is attacking you, you tend to be a bit scared. So this whole deal might disheart people new to the site.

[XelaisPWN]

what the hell?! is nothing sacred? mixing the Beatles with K-on? this is bull****! Ill sue!

But... they're practically my two favorite things... :<

http://is.gd/xIcUAE

[LOLWTFBBQ]

Beatles, cool yo; K-on.... yo? I mean I would love this if it was something like Cradle of Filth and K-on (female singer, it works) but the Beatles? thats legendary! I just have trouble with crossing that legend with a bunch of animated obnoxiously cute squeeking pre-teens.

I wouldnt even mind it so much of the actual artists took the credit more than the fake representations

/end rant. sorry

so anyone wanna guess what kinda adds were gonna get in the future?

[Zuiichi]

i went onto amvhell at my school and it gave my computer 127 virus attacks

[Darthelm]

lulz thats funny

[flamingbambi]

I don't really see it as a huge problem provided we all have decent anti-virus software. Zarx admitted the J-List adverts weren't giving him much money, (about $12 a year if I remember correctly) so I presume he's trying this one to see if he can make a little extra cash. Wouldn't you? xD

[jinzo64]

i never tried clicking the advert at the top of the page.
i buy my stuff from amazon and ebay.

[MADEVIL]

as with everyone else on here i think the new ads suck, but if it keeps things going here then what can you do

[jinzo64]

thats true i prefer the old ads they looked better.

[MADEVIL]

and they fit the site better, but even those were not liked

[Shibbidah]

and they were awesome...because they were Jlist...which is awesome...

[animemental1]

You guys need Norton. =P

[MADEVIL]

i need nothing, i have no problems from them, i just don't like them

[Guthix]

my antivirus seems too be suspiciously silent about viruses. all i get is a poping page of a viral anitvirus program offer which is easy to deal swiftly,i dont think its dangerious but i dont feel like going back to registries and deleting ****y porgrams from the root.not to mention they CLOSE the page i open.

[mattroks101]

I haven't had any virus attacks yet O_o

[Distict5-9]

I personally haven't noticed any virus attacks on my computer... but maybe that's because it's a Mac (a very wimpy one, if I may say)... Anyway, advertisements are just that; ads. If it's J-list or something else, I don't care too much about it. Of course, though, if those adverts are flooding you with viruses of any kind, that's a different story...

[Zuiichi]

Apparently you didn't read my "127 attacks" comment -_- even if these are weak virus's there is still the chance one or two will slip thru a crack and get in (there are virus's designed to bypass certain protection software which is why you should have 2 virus scanners on your pc) Hell some users probably have a couple of harmless Trojan right now. They ain't dangerous but they will slow down your pc :/

[Guthix]

open 10 amv tabs yuo might see

[RBRat3]

Ohh to add alittle fun to the mix I have never come across an antivirus that doesn't throw out false positives like candy. Even when Im the one doing code injections it's all like "Im sorry dave I can't let you do that" XD

[Zarxrax]

I have removed the offending ads.

They were provided by "clicksor", which was one of the leading options that I saw mentioned when trying to search for advertising networks I can use.

I'll likely be trying something different soon, so please keep me updated if there are any problems.

Give google adsense a whirl unless you dont want a bot crawling the site every other post but I dont see how thats an issue with all the lurkers :P

[Zarxrax]

By the way, if anyone has any better suggestions, I'm all ears.

Adsense is not an option. They wont accept my site, and I can't get them to give me a reason why.

I'm currently using Adbrite. It's ok but the pay seems low, and it only serves a couple different ads.

Clicksor seemed good (it was paying about $1/day so far), but apparently there was some bad stuff in there.

Huh never had an issue regardless of the content I provided. I have violated their TOS on several occasions but never got denied of usage (Yet). Is the site setup to block the adsense crawler thats the only thing I can think of?
A dollar a day is pretty nice tho me bring greedy I would have left it XD

[Zarxrax]

Nope, it isn't set up to block them.
I've probably tried applying to adsense about 5 different times over the years, and its always the same.
"After reviewing your application, our specialists have found that it does not meet our program criteria. Therefore, we are unable to accept you into our program."

That's all they tell me.

[LawRayLiet]

Hey, Zarx I would recommend checking out this article on alternatives to google adsense.

http://www.rosswalker.co.uk/adsense_top10/

Also as you already know different advertising networks will work better for some websites than others so just keep doing what you're doing and experiment.

That's very strange google didn't give you a reason for rejecting your application
Have you tried contacting them?

Did you have ads on the site already when you sent in your application?
Because they have policies regarding other ads on your website.

The only other reason I can think of is maybe they see amvs as infringing copyright.
I'm not sure if a disclaimer might be helpful...

[Zarxrax]

I think I'll try bidvertiser.

[RBRat3]

I went poking around googles "Requirements" and "TOS" and I think its pretty much the sites URL containing the word "HELL" which is a throw off...

plus the site possibly violates other requirements, not saying that they do but google probably sees otherwise.

Sites with Google ads may not include or link to:
-Pornography, adult or mature content.... Well there some softcore content here, Links to 0 & /0
-Violent content.... Theres quite a bit of that, probably all backmasks posts XD
-Content related to racial intolerance or advocacy against any individual, group or organisation
-Excessive profanity.... This is a long shot but I think it has to do with the URL
-Hacking/cracking content... its here somewhere
-Gambling or casino-related content
-Illicit drugs and drug paraphernalia content
-Sales of beer or hard alcohol
-Sales of tobacco or tobacco-related products
-Sales of prescription drugs.... PILL"S HERE!!!
-Sales of weapons or ammunition (e.g. firearms, firearm components, fighting knives, stun guns)
-Sales of products that are replicas or imitations of designer or other goods
-Sales or distribution of coursework or student essays
-Content regarding programs which compensate users for clicking ads or offers, performing searches, surfing websites or reading emails
-Any other content that is illegal, promotes illegal activity or infringes on the legal rights of others... Im sure theres something in the forums containing this.

Funny thing is that my site flat out violates most of these yet haven't got anything about it...

I can't imagine Hell would be considered profanity.
It's on the disney channel and radio.

The sites moderated but I guess there really aren't many site rules.

I still think it has to do with copyright.
Or ad conflicts.

[RBRat3]

I can't imagine Hell would be considered

Its not hell just on the site its the fact its IN the URL which is a bigger consideration than whats actually on the site itself and is checked first thing when signing up. Google doesnt have the time to check the site's content right off the bat to deny you usage of adsense when signing up that usually comes later so getting denied right off the bat pretty much points fingers at the URL.

EDIT: yea its on the disney channel but the disney channel's URL isnt "thedisneychannelhell.com" which in my eyes would be more suitable XD

[LawRayLiet]

My stupid phone made me post before I finished my sentence.

But I would imagine they would've at least read the site description.
If Zarx didn't already he should put an explanation in his application where possible .

I don't think its worth disputing it cause given the nature of this site its going to violate those terms sooner or later and just cause headaches on finding another advertiser when google pulls the plug unexpectedly.

[Zarxrax]

Well, bidvertiser doesn't seem to be doing much at all. I've made 50 cents during about 1 week.
I think I'll just try expanding on the adbrite ads, and see if that helps.

[Zarxrax]

I'm going to try adding full page interstitial ads to the site, and see how they perform.
They should NOT display to users who are logged in. If you are logged in and see one of these full page ads, please let me know so I can fix it.

[mattroks101]

Currently all I'm getting on the sides (where the adds should be) are error signs.

[Zuiichi]

it must be your connection :P

[mattroks101]

Are they showing up for other people?

[Zuiichi]

yeah I got em

[Guthix]

its fine for me atm

[LawRayLiet]

Alright I thought I would just recommend a few specific ones in case adbrite doesn't work out.

I'm not sure what the exact traffic is on this site but you can check these out to see what you think and if you're eligible.

I think video game ads would be popular on this site so here's the top 2 safe choices I know of.

1. Ad4Game

2. Epic Game Ad

I figure I should mention "Tribal Fusion".
I heard from a few places it's a good choice for anime sites but I havn't looked into that one to much myself.

[Chewi105]

didnt zarx say in the chat box that j-list was removed cause it brought him in a whopping $12 this year so far?

[Zarxrax]

yes I said that

[thedarkmessenger]

wooooo! $12!

[Bakagami]

12$ and a comforting feel :P

[mattroks101]

12 more dollars than I currently own.

[LOLWTFBBQ]

why not try some Playboy adds, that should get alot of clicks and revenue...

[Chewi105]

it might repel some visitors xD

[LOLWTFBBQ]

okay what about those sword adds? everyone loves swords!

[Zarxrax]

WTF!!!

I added an extra adbrite ad to the side (I've already been using adbrite for years now), and I just got this email:


We've completed the review of your zone, Left Sidebar ( Zone ID #1958087 ), that you've submitted. Unfortunately, we are unable to approve it for our marketplace at this time due to the following reasons:

That sucks.
I hope that you're requesting them to be more specific.
It maybe the same reason you were declined from Adsense.

Either way you need to find out what's going on.

Unless by some extremely small chance they know what AMV Hell /0 is....
(which does contain all that they mentioned)

[Guthix]

maybe its because of ****bear seal of aprooval

yeah i think i know where the problems may lie random picture thread,my little ponie thread,zombie apprecation month,my bleach threads and the new picture thread.

Maybe I should... do something.

[jinzo64]

erm maybe you just ignore me.

we've been posting nothing bad.

pictures of catgirls,decaying zombies,sexy anime women(clothed) pictures of female bleach characters,ponies, random pictures and pictures people have asked for.

so nothing malicous.

Well I am surprised there is not a "Forum Rules" sticky.
Every other forum website I know of has one.

I know you probably don't like to be to strict but outlining things that should obviously not be allowed is still a good idea so that everyone knows that the site is actually content moderated.

Here's some obvious rules:

1. No guro (At leat I don't wanna see that here)

2. No explicit pornagraphy (I didn't think you allowed this anyways)

3. No nude loli (I'm seeing this being banned from more and more websites)
(Although it's important to note it's usually because it's against the Agreements made with many advertisers)

There may be more depending on what you want to allow.

[Evileel]

Bestiality/****philia/Paraphilia

Yes, Ive tried to search for beastiality in forum search. And I found some for sure:

beastelity
http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k443/midnitecandy15/Aoyagi_Ritsuka_sma.jpg
Interesting that I have always pronounced her name as Doominus (doom + domination), until today then Ive noticed its actually Doomimus XD

Our mods must remove all such posts with such keywords as soon as possible O_O

[Guthix]

i find it kinda funny because rule 34 got j list after amv hell lost it

[bloodlover1987]

>.< yeah i saw that too

[LOLWTFBBQ]

maybe its the fact that we have a thread named "**** yeah!!!"

though I would honestly prefur if we didnt have to censor our language, I do agree that nothing pornographic should be posted unless via NSFW link

[bloodlover1987]

looks like we have been NAUUUUGHTY!!!!

[Guthix]

this is HELL

[EvilestDeath]

Yeah, when your virus protection is telling you something is attacking you, you tend to be a bit scared. So this whole deal might disheart people new to the site.

Advertisements that make people visit the site less, causing a drop in ad revenue? Now that is what I call hilarious. But I never had a single problem with the ads, no virus alerts or anything.

This site kind of feels a little naked without the advertisements, just like when 4Chan got rid of theirs for a little bit earlier this year.

[XelaisPWN]

maybe its the fact that we have a thread named "**** yeah!!!"

Isn't there already kind of an unspoken law about that, anyway? I mean, most people don't post explicity pornographic things unless it's only a link... at least, as far as I can tell....

Anyway, it would indeed really suck if we had to censor ourselves for the sake of ads. :\ I mean, I understand why, but...still....

I don't think a link would ever be a problem.

True, there are unspoken rules around here.
But from the perspective of the advertiser this site looks like a "rule-less" forum.
[allowing everything, which they wouldn't like]

But those rules need to be outlined in a sticky.

I wouldn't imagine it would change anything/much as far as what we can post.
I would think it would just be putting into words what we already know for the advertisers sake.

But I'm surprised there isn't a rules section already.
It's hard to find a forum without rules, and there's a reason why.

[XelaisPWN]

I guess that does make sense. :\

I enjoyed the super laid-back attitude 'round these parts, but it wouldn't change much, and would bring in Zarx some extra dough.

...of course, this is entirely speculative and we could be worrying about nothing. xD

[jinzo64]

i like the way things are.
all layed back and not so uptight.

but more monies is always good right?
http://static.desktopnexus.com/thumbnails/526684-bigthumbnail.jpg

[Zarxrax]

Frankly, I just haven't had rules yet because we simply haven't needed them. I mean, no one is posting bestiality pictures or anything, as far as I'm aware. And the forum doesn't seem to have turned into some sort of piracy haven either, so you guys have been doing a good job of policing yourselves.
Though I can see where it would be useful to have a set of rules.

[bloodlover1987]

:D yay praise

I have received a message from Adbrite concerning the content of the site. This is what they said:


I've approved the two zones but you will need to do some moderation of the forums. We don't allow adult or mature content or excessive profanity. Under this policy your threads should not have prominent profanity that isn't censored, and the sexual discussions are not allowed. We did some simple searches for profane and adult terms, like s**t and porn, and it returned a large number of results.

The site was declined due to references to ****bear on the thread below. We find that forums containing this meme have a high rate of inappropriate discussions involving minors. In addition our advertisers do not want to be on sites containing jokes about this subject. If we see a representation of ****bear we will decline the site.

http://amvhell.com/showthread.php?t=2449

As you can see, they have a problem with a few of the thread on this site. Now the issue is, what to do about it? I'll be thinking carefully about this over the next few days, and there will possibly be some changes coming soon in response to this issue.

[Zuiichi]

Funny that you also posted on that thread XD

[Pain]

Why dont ya just make a thread for the new members which explains how to block the viruses and mark it as important?

Do whatever you need to.

The only thread about sex I can think of is the 4 words you shouldn't say during sex thread.
I don't think it would be all that missed.
And I think it's a fair and simple enough request to ask everyone not use foul language when creating a thread title.

These request made by adbrite are common agreements made.
And if you hope to bring in a decent amount of money to support the site then these are the requirements of pairing your site with a good ad company.
In my opinion it's a small price to pay.

I know I'll be understanding if you decide to add a few rules for the sake of keeping the site alive and running.
And I hope everyone else will be as well.

PS Also this would likely open the door for you to check out adsense if you ever wanted to.

[Zarxrax]

I have added a censorship plugin to the forum. It just censors some of the most explicit words, and also the word "****". It is DISABLED for registered users, but if you would like to enable the censorship for your account, you can do so in the user profile options.

I am also considering making the off-topic forum restricted to members only. Does anyone have a problem with that?

[LawRayLiet]

No problem here.
But I see an average of around 90 lurkers in the off topic.
But I guess this will force them to create accounts.

[bloodlover1987]

sounds good to me

[Evileel]

I am also considering making the off-topic forum restricted to members only.

Yes, we will lose our lurkers in this way. Less unique IPs means less profit from ads.
You should think twice before doing so.

Yea, I doubt donations would help much. Most of the people here are probably kinda young.

Yes I have a problem with that, I call for a funny word filter like 4chan has, or no censorship at all. Besides, advertisement groups should want amvhell.com badly enough to change their rules, not the other way around.

If it's needed to keep the site alive then censorship is just fine. It's not like we won't be able to figure out what people mean anyway.

Please correct me if I am wrong but the main problem is the ad on the top which is detected as an virus right?

Why dont you just write an good tutoiral for everyone how configure there Anti-Virus Programms?

No, if you read the thread, that was corrected almost right away.

[XelaisPWN]

I don't see anything wrong with opening up donations. Worst case scenario, nobody donates. No harm no foul, right?

[flamingbambi]

If it means keeping this place alive (and also keeping the projects alive) I wouldn't mind donating occasionally.

[HalOfBorg]

Group in New York just won the Powerball - after only playing for a month. At work we've been buying it for YEARS with no serious wins, so maybe our turn will come up.

After that happens, several sites will have little financial problems for quite a while.

[EvilestDeath]

Would it be possible to give a rough estimate of how much it costs to run this site daily? Or Monthly or something, just so we know?

[mattroks101]

Well I just got my first virus warning from this site. I thought it was fixed.

[XelaisPWN]

If it's needed to keep the site alive then censorship is just fine. It's not like we won't be able to figure out what people mean anyway.

Remember, they didn't JUST have a problem with the bad words, but also ****bear... which, coincidentally, was is simpleton's SIGNATURE. Hard to figure out what people mean when you have to totally avoid subjects and topics of conversation.

Remember, all we ever talk about is video games and sex! What would the world be like if we took out half of that, hm?!

I don't think discussing figures is necessary.

But it is our community, so we should do what we can to help zarx pay for it.

[Zarxrax]

I will need some information on what exactly occurred.

The web hosting is close to $300/year. Which isn't really a LOT in the grand scheme of things, but its still more than I would want to fork over out of my own pocket.
Also, If I ever want to upgrade the forum software to the new vBulletin, that's almost another $300.

[XelaisPWN]

....okay, first lulz. Zarx double posted. xD

But seriously, could you explain what the harm would be in slapping a donation button on the front page? I seem to be a bit lost here... worst case scenario, nobody donates, and then you're in the same position you are now.

[LawRayLiet]

This is the only site on the internet I actually would donate to.

If the ads are covering the expenses and you don't feel like setting it up then that's fine.
But if you do decide to set up a donation then you might want to consider small incentives to donate.
kinda like AnimeMusicVideos.org.
Even something small like giving people a donator or contributor status or title.
You never know, you might be surprised at the amount that comes in.
Even small donations over time will add up.

[Zarxrax]

Well the ad revenue has increased quite a bit in the past few days. Doubled maybe.
Putting up a donation button is an option, but I'm sort of opposed to it on the basis that if someone donates to me, then I will feel like I owe them something.

[bloodlover1987]

i think just the fun of the site and every thing it offers is a fair trade :D

[LawRayLiet]

That's hilarious.

Situation:

Bad Kid AMV Creator donates $100.
Bad Kid AMV Creator submits horrible Bad Kid AMV Naruto - Three Days Grace.
Zarx...

Just joking with you, but I understand.

[XelaisPWN]

Consider it payment for the awesome AMVs, series, and community ^^

[LawRayLiet]

That's awesome the ads are doing so good.

But if you ever decided you want to set up a donation without feeling you owe someone.
Then you could start a thread and ask people what little incentives they would like for donating.
If they're getting something out it then you shouldn't need to feel any obligations.

Anyways it's just an idea.

[EvilestDeath]

I don't think discussing figures is necessary.

But it is our community, so we should do what we can to help zarx pay for it.

Figures are completely necessary to discuss because if it were cheap enough (which its not) donations would have been a solve all problem. Actually the $300 or so a year don't sound too bad or hard to get in donations. But I doubt enough people would take the time to contribute cash to something they contribute time to already. It is always worth a shot suggesting ideas.

[XelaisPWN]

I just didn't want someone complaining that zarx pays too much/too little, that's all xD

He's been gracious enough to provide teh interwebs with what he can, no sense in telling everyone EXACTLY what he gives us so they can trample on it.


Buuuutttt apparently zarx has different ideas. xD

[flamingbambi]

I gave you a couple of clicks on the ads to give you a hand.

I'm wondering if you should put a note on the front page asking us to click the ads to keep the site alive. A lot of sites do that now.

[LawRayLiet]

That's against the advertisers agreements list.

They want interested people clicking their ads.
If Zarx we're to put that on the front page they would decline him from the service the moment they found out.

[Zarxrax]

Also, I'm not sure if clicks really contribute much anyways. I get paid simply for views. I do get stats on how many times the ads were clicked, but I'm not sure how much (if at all) that factors into the payout.
You probably shouldn't click unless you are genuinely interested.
Those are some pretty cool swords ads on the side XD

[LOLWTFBBQ]

took my advice on sword ads? sweeet! but why is it I still cant see any ads anyway?

[Evileel]

Yes, I dont see any ads too. Only "Advertise on this site" line.
Anyways, if $ is generated by views, we need to attract as much lurkers as possible here. More lurkers = more unique IPs = more $.

[jinzo64]

theres an advert at the top of my screen.

[mattroks101]

I see them sometimes. Most of the time there's either an error or not ad at all.

[jinzo64]

at the mo it's a capital one ad

[LOLWTFBBQ]

nope, its just the site header of gradient orange for me

[jinzo64]

the ads are brought to you by adbright

[Zarxrax]

Are you guys using adblockers? LOL that might explain why you dont see it.

[MADEVIL]

there was a point when i would have no ads and other times they would be there but i'm not running anything special, everything seem to be fine with the changes

[bloodlover1987]

yeah things on this end is A ok

[HalOfBorg]

I use AdBlock but it's turned off for good sites like here.

I see a WebMD add involving chocolate/brain foods right now.

[LOLWTFBBQ]

oh yeah... adblocker. forgot how much I love it

hmm, if I have it on, does it mean the add doesnt show me as a viewer?

[LawRayLiet]

I had my adblock turned off for this site until there were those full screen ads that fade in.
I just can't stand those, so I turned it back on.
But I don't see them appearing anymore, so I'll turn my adblock off for this site again.

They (full page ads) aren't supposed to appear to anyone who is logged in. If you are seeing them while logged in, there is a problem on my end.

[EvilestDeath]

I still get them every so often but its consistent so its not just a glitch. It is only when I visit this sites home page.

[bloodlover1987]

same i just had one a few mins ago

[Zarxrax]

Ok well I'll check into it. Its odd because they don't appear for me. O.o

In any case, the rules for the full page ads are supposed to be:
1. only once per 24 hours
2. only for unregistered users

Keep in mind that if you dont stay logged in, then it might show up while you are logging in.

[SleeplessPanda]

Um' . . so if we're trying to clean up the site a bit so we can get more ad support, maybe we should get rid of this video here since it has hentai?

http://amvhell.com/video.php?do=viewdetails&videoid=723

[Evileel]

But the problem is not with videos. They are searching for text keywords. So its important not to post any phrases related with bestelity or ****bearism here. While pics and videos makes no difference.

[Zarxrax]

Hentai videos are not allowed though, so please report them if you do find them. There is a report button on the video that you can use.

[SleeplessPanda]

M'kay. I also reported a TON of videos in the Random section that no longer had a hoster hosting them. =3

[EvilestDeath]

I am logged in 24/7

But the full page ads are not appearing for me anymore for some reason.

[jinzo64]

i don't think i've ever had a full page add.
i've only ever had that little box add at the top off the screen

[Evileel]

Yes, Ive tried to search for beastiality in forum search. And I found some for sure:

Ive done some more in-dept research on beastelity in this site. And found even more of it! Also this explain why we have so much lurkers and so few serious members.



UNSEEN BEASTIALITY!

I don't think anyone is watching such foul monstrous bestiality anime. So I bet nobody will guess it till the next Xmas. Let the futile guessing begin!

And here is some tags for Google search to attract even more lurkers to this forum: :D
TAGS:
unseen bestiality, frogrape, animal torture, hardcore buttsecs, monstrous zoophilia, interspecies porn, poor froggy, amphibian rape

[Zuiichi]

censoring??? you nazi's >.>

[jinzo64]

what nazi's?
with there picky grammer ways.

[mattroks101]

Evileel, your the one who's posting all this stuff. I don't really see why your complaining to us about it. It's your fault.

[jinzo64]

i don't think it was realy a complaint.
but if most of it was posted by evileel it would make his research easier.

[Evileel]

Indeed, this makes research easier. Don't forget this research is being carried out in order to help Zarxrax get more money from site ads.

[jinzo64]

thats true.
maybe we just need better companies to advertise on this site.
like coke,mars or sony.

[HalOfBorg]

The anime companies are the ones who should be advertising - this is where their fans are after all.

*sigh* The world makes no sense to me.
