How do you like them forums?

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

This website project, was officially 'restarted' on Janurary 10th, 2008. (It was actually started back in August/September 2007 but we had management and time issues.)

Over the past months, the site has grown tremendously! Since the relaunch, our Alexa ranking has gone up by over 3500% and our overall ranking went up from 6,000,000 to 146,519! (The less the better)

Other similar 'forums' have ads around their website. Ever clicked an ad and have spyware or adware install itself on your PC? How about crashing your Internet Explorer/Firefox window? Wasn't it... annoying?

Well, if you haven't noticed already, this site has minimum ads. As a website user, I hate ads, and I hate it even more when they're over cluttered or crash my browser full of tabs... This is why we have made them out of the way at the bottom of the page. These ads are text ads by the reputable company Google. They do not install anything onto your web browser and do not make noises when you roll over them. These ads are here for a trial, to see if they are efficient enough to support the website.

Well, to run a website you need a web host, and getting a web host costs money. Where does the money come from? At the moment, my own back pocket. That means I'm missing the occasional lunch and saving up that money to pay for the bills. Sad huh? (Actually it's not that dramatic, but you get the point)

So, if you like this website for your daily/weekly downloads of Asian content, please help us continue providing a place to share media by donating!

What does your donation go towards?

Webhosting, we are on a VPS not on a shared server
Premium accounts so files do not expire
Direct downloads (ftechz is working on a neat little thing as we speak
Incentive to bring more uploads!

What does your donation NOT go towards?

My lunch
My dinner
ftechz collection of Gundam figures
My car fund
And I'm serious...

How much/long does it take to maintain the website? *NEW*

$60 per month for webhosting
Depending on how this site runs, we might add the DDL system sooner than expected, which is another $25-30
Time people take when uploading - hours
Millions of hours invested by ftechz on the website code

I AM NOT A STAFF MEMBER!

i know windstar well enough to know it will go to the forum or forum related expenses so giving to him wont be silly and pointless like giving it to some other people

-looks at the 700 or so usd in the cornor-
cant spare anything man ~_~
i got my own expenses

• house
• gas ><
• Acen
• school
• manga
• my forum

Haha thanks for the comment mate, I appreciate it

i do what i can

Hi! I think you are right! We need to give some money. Actually, I haven't got a lot of money... (as a student and living on my own, money is hard to find), but I will give some money when I have an extra 10 dollars

And if you think about it... how many full cds did you download on this website??? As for me, I downloaded A LOT.... What does a jpop cd costs when you live in Canada...? About 30$ per CD... so if you think about it that way, giving 10$ is not much compared to the money you saved!!!

Haha thanks! That's the spirit

hey there! i would love to donate, but like everything i donate to, i want to know exactly how much stuff costs. what is the annual rate you're paying for webhosting? what are the exact dollar figures you're paying related to the site?

as for downloading music...i've only downloaded ONE thing so far, but i love the concept behind this (and after moving back from japan last year, i'm glad i have a place to find new music).

so...yeah. i need a full disclosure before i can donate, regardless of who i'm giving my money to.

thanks, and good luck!

fortunately victorinpox is a huge asshole so i edited this post

wow what a waste of time to read lets look into it less and think of it logically

• one of the best organized asian music sites
• one of the if not the best request handeling asian music sites EVEN IF MINE NEVER GET ANWSERED >.>
• constantly adding more music with many things released really early (some things get posted a week befor they even come out
• multi download links on 90% of the downloads so you can download all day and night if you want
• friendly community minus myself GO ME f*ck YALL
• almost no requirement for anything
• 10 albums tops would pay for this place so dont be cheap

^ how about we stop looking at what is needed and look at what you got i know many people want to give but come on dont be all like OMG he needs 100 bucks so we cant give him anything more i mean god damn if he got 500 or so all that would mean is a New forum like a VB or IPB and a better skin and maybe direct downloads and god only knows what else so stop being cheap and looking around the topic and simple give or dont talk about it simple as that!

im not being cheap i just answer that guy glowstar D:

I have no idea where Mist got his info from about the price for webhosting...

Namecheap domain does indeed cost around $9

Our monthly webhosting is $50 per month. Premium accounts for files so they don't die are $10 per month (if you want to count that). Our new DDL system will probably need another cheaper webserver (depending on if this one can run it).

So:
Month: $60 (Hosting + Filehosting accounts)
Annually: $10
DDL: +$20 per month (Another server?)

All leftover contributions if one month has more donations will be passed on over to the next month, and it all goes well even more features like victorinox has said. We don't want to just provide Asian music and stop at that. There are a lot more features we would like to add

thanks for the disclosure! donating...now!

tc

As of now we have received $38! Thanks!

We still need $22 before 24th April though, so please help! =)

Thank you to those who have donated this month! We have reached our monthly target of $60!

Thank you to these people:
