No ads, no $$$ to cover JT-related expenses. As most ads allowed on message boards are paid per click, the forum is making a couple of EUR per month. I'm not sure whether that is sad or funny. At the same time, JT accounts for the majority of server load and attracts most spammer and other types of attacks (and taking most of the time I spend fixing things). The rational decision would be to try to sell the entire site, or to pull the plug on the board. Instead, I'm giving this one more try. Instead of bickering, go ahead and create your own BJ forum, perhaps people will follow you there.
