Bruh the sites solution is donations which is a total of $60. This isn't about lacking brain power or whatever uncalled for remark when you are clearly misinterpreting stuff here. The solution was either 18+ ads or donations and it was agreed upon that the latter was the better choice. All of this arised as a result of the previous ads resource bc this site actually had ads before now withdrew their resource and an appeal was thrown out. The information is literally right here on the forum
🥱 just shhhh brother u dont understand

Hello my dear members,

I hope you guys are doing well. As you may know that during the past few years, CoM has continuously grown to be a thriving community for not just mods but also a place where people can talk and have fun. Now If new members don't recognise me then I am Daniel, the forum administrator and usually I am not active here except I do check things from time to time on backend.

Now to come back to the today's discussion, If you guys haven't noticed already then there are no more ads on the website. Previously we were using a good ad network which had banners across the site with mainstream content (nothing 18+, offensive or shady). Unfortunately a few days earlier the ad network disabled our account due to a reason which doesn't make an absurd reason which was false. I did send an appeal but they rejected it.

After this I tried some other ad networks but they are nowhere near the previous provider. The rates are not sustainable and many are applying 18+ ads along with shady pop scripts which I personally do not want you guys to experience.

Unfortunately at the same time if we are unable able to find any solution to the money problem as we do need to pay the server and domain bills then I am afraid we will have to close the website. Also due to our current server nearing the maximum storage capacity we will need to upgrade it.

At the moment, I have funds to run the server for another 3 months but that's how much I can pay including some out of my own pocket.
I was thinking that a dedicated server with good cpu, ram and enough storage for the next 3 years would be good rather than our current VPS which is not scalable either. Currently we will need to make $60/per month if we were to go with the new dedicated server.

I have consulted with the staff as well about this situation and honestly we don't have any ideas other than user donations which due to privacy reasons will need to be done in crypto currency. Additionally I am open to other ideas which users think we can go ahead with to save this forum.


Please feel free to reply on this thread or start a private conversation with me here or on telegram at @Daniel_161.

Edit (07-20-2025): Thank you guys for your amazing response. I have received many messages and DMs about ideas as well as support for donations. I have thought about this and I think we will be going through the donations. Many people said crypto would be a problem so we are working on an alternative similar to Patreon/Ko-Fi which would be secure for us. Additionally, based on the feedback received so far, I think we will be able to raise the amount per month so we won't be using any sort of advertisements. I will add the options later after I create a transparency report. So stay tuned for more updates.

Edit (07-22-2025): After some research and thanks to your feedback, We have started accepting donations. You can go to this link to donate: https://choiceofmods.com/donate/
We are using Boosty to accept donations via Cards. Boosty is very similar to platforms like Patreon, Ko-Fi, etc so it should be convenient and we also accept Crypto so you can send me a message to know more. Also Boosty is taking a commission of 13-15% of the overall amount received, So this month's target is $70 actually and not 60.

Also I have created a separate thread to discuss about the features to the donators and also suggestions about the forum which we can do. I will share more relevant info and my ideas there so you can visit this thread: https://choiceofmods.com/threads/forum-improvements-and-suggestions.3584/

Edit (07-23-2025): We have raised donations of amount 72.63$ which are enough for the forum to last one month, post upgradation of the servers.

Edit (07-27-2025): As of 27th July, We have secured 124$ which is enough for two months. Soon I'll be drafting a server upgradation plan and will share more info.
Please use any as provider, no matter how shady, before you even think about closing the forum! I'd rather put up with some annoying ads than see it gone!😭
