qcodefag here.
I cannot remove ads.
There are too much visitors and that means server costs.
My solution is scalable, it can handle any amount of traffic. But costs a bit of money.
qanon.pub maintainer's solution is not scalable.
qanon.pub will reach a traffic limit even with using cloudflare and means many mirror sites with weird urls. Is Q going mainstream? Are we to give all the new ppl randomly links?
8chan has ads. We all have ads. I'm using Adsterra now. It's a decent ad provider.
I see
> http:// us.notarizes813dp.top
in the url bar of the browser.
That's not my site.
That site does not even exist.
Where is this picture from? Is it shopped?
I cannot reproduce this at all.
I tried different browsers on my android phone and on my pc. Not once do I get anything.
us.notarizes813dp.top does not even exist. Go to the url, try it. It doesn't exist. You are the board volunteer, right? And say you got multiple reports of pop ups, I have not seen them. It's only you now. Maybe it's your phone, not the site that is comped. Or maybe you are comped. Or maybe the other reports are from clowns trying to create division.
So this whole thing looks fishy to me. What if you're a clown? What if the qanon.pub maintainer is a clown and you both try to defame me in order to gain control? Or just black hat trolling to create division.
That's sad.
Well I cannot remove the ads, because then I would lose money on maintenance costs. I'm not gonna change my set-up because I believe it's better and future proof.
If you hate ads you can use Brave.
But OK, you're not gonna change your mind, that's unfortunate. Put me out of the bread than.
Thanks
> unlimited bandwidth hosting for, as BV mentions, 5$ a month
No, that is not possible. Some hosting providers say you CAN have unlimited bandwidth and START with hardly any costs. You can start maybe even for free but as you grow in bandwidth (more users), you'll always have to pay. I have too much usage to get anything cheap/free.
Right now it's about $50 a month and I earn about $100 a month, so I get a little bit of profit. But this is scalable: if I get 10 times more users I get a 10 times as higher bill and 10 times more profit. Blame me for being a capitalist. Maybe I'll donate some to other anons if they do something cool.
I'm sad some people got shady ads. I have configured tighter restrictions with the ad provider that should ban "software related" ads, which I think should filter out the bad ads. Also I believe that the reported bad ads (I didn't receive them) where a temporary campaign (and a accidental mistake of AdsTerra of allowing these ads).

Alternatively I could use another ad provider. But I already tried many and most rejected my site because of "insufficient content" or some other weird excuse. It's really hard to find one for this weird niche.
