Google Ads has gone dark.

Post by FuzzHugger »

Well, that was nice while it lasted. Google Ads has been a lifesaver in covering host/server costs, if not operating or maintenance costs. Along the way, we've been warned and temporarily dropped for repeated violations (images and "excessive" sexual language). Google's given us lots of chances, but it looks like we're shut down for good now.
(There's an appeal-the-appeal process, but it'd require us to have a huge team comb through the site, something we especially don't have the resources for now, and could mean excessive editing that I'm not comfortable with.)

I won't front, this is a big loss.
We're going to try to proceed without them, but ILF will now operate at a loss.

Thanks to those who've donated in the past. And to those considering donating, we're planning on launching an ambitious project soon...when that happens, please support us, even if just through word-of-mouth. :hug:

Whoa shit, that's terrible. Did they at least give you any sort of specific examples of what offending content broke the camel's back? Whatever sort of fundraising you're going to be doing now, I'm definitely going to be contributing.

Chiefy BC, I'm sure the planned smoke-up is not a helper.

It's at the bottom of the main page right above where it shows who is online.

http://www.fuzzhugger.com/ilf-donate.html

I keep track of my B/S/T sales and once I get around $400, I donate $20 which is a small sum for what ILF provides.
