WeaponCrates is officially gone

£300 for hosting is pretty high, think he used AWS, which can be expensive. I think there's an early post of his on this forum where he asks for feedback and a few users commented would be difficult to make it financially viable.

 
Eh? AWS isn't that much more than competitors. Perhaps 15-20% if you're not doing anything highly specialised with it.

And yep, these sites are never financially viable unfortunately. Ads just don't bring in the money to justify app that labour. Especially not anymore when 1/5 of people use blockers too.

On that, I whitelist sites that I want to support (including this one), but it might be worth putting a very gentle nag somewhere just to remind people that it's an option.

 
Perhaps a bit off-topic but:

Ads have only just returned as the AdSense account was transferred and took ages to approve. Maybe I'll put a notice somewhere or - better still - allow people to turn them on manually (off by default perhaps). Still working on making this a bit better.

Thanks for doing that though. It does help.

Your not going to believe this guys but he’s only going to open for business again ! 

The neck of this guy is unfucking believable !  

Hes currently defending him self (and giving it the “oh poor me!”) on the Facebook Airsoft manufactures and retailers review group ! 

 
Oh, I can believe it.  Once you've run a business into the ground and realised that there are, in practice, no personal repercussions, why wouldn't you rinse and repeat? 

Painting yourself as a victim of circumstances deals with any pesky moral issues, and it's not like he's got any other marketable skills.

I thought we'd corned the market on that.

Didn't know you had ads, now whitelisted as well.

Cheers

Just a banner in the footer. We used to have adwords at the top too but I thought those were a bit obnoxious.

 
Won't always show. You're more likely to see them on mobile and tablets too - desktop certainly not always.

Remember Google accepts bids from advertisers based on what it thinks you might like, so if it doesn't have anything suitable to show it won't bother.

Our new patches kinda say 'fuko' if you squint a bit and drop the A I guess.
