Potential Image Gallery Solution!
Important DC Fans website information, please read!
I believe I have found a workable solution to restore the Image Gallery! (More about the Problem)
A friend of a friend runs a hosting company and he, unlike bluehost, is willing to work around this site’s unique requirements. We’re still working out the details, but I should be able to move the site over and re-upload the entire collection of screencaps.
However, there is a catch. It’s going to cost more than the current host. Which is to be expected, but I’m going to have to do something to close the revenue gap. The two possible solutions I can think of are either donations or increased advertising. I’m already not happy with the level of advertising I’ve been forced to implement here, and any expansion would likely involve pop ups and the “screen takeover” type ads that are all to frequent on the web already.
So I’m asking you all for feedback. Would you be willing to donate $10 or $20 to avoid the need for these ads? Would you still visit if there where more ads? Is the image gallery worth the effort?
At the moment, I’m planning on making the move in about a week, which will likely result in some downtime. Please continue to check back for more information.

You should do the advertising way. And the image gallery is this worth, trust me. Perhaps you can activate the advertising just for a while until you’ve got anough money.
And what I also wanted to say when I read the article about the 15 domains you needed tips for…a lot of them aren’t worth so much money!
We don’t need this ones:
KIM-POSSIBLE.ORG
SDSFORUM.ORG
SAVEKP.ORG
SAVELILOANDSTITCH.ORG
S-D-S.US
SAVEDISNEYSHO.WS
LEROYANDSTITCH.COM
ROBERTIGER.ORG
(in my opinion)
But it’s your decision

There is no “enough money” it’s a continuous expense.
And there aren’t any domains that we aren’t using in some way. Will we have to drop some? yes. But they all have value.
