Official Everybody Edits Forums

Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

Re: close the forums

why would you choose that as a reason when basically everything else about the forums is a better reason to close them

Yeah let’s pretend the forums struggle to support themselves.

Re: close the forums

by the way, IIRC diff did share some point about the usefulness of advertising revenue when put toward hosting costs. Does anyone recall how much it actually helps?

been too long

Why do you think they don't? Over the past few days of relatively low activity the forums have pulled $0.15 per day. Over a month that's $4.50. Usually though when there's a nice discussion going on, the ads can generate $0.30 to $0.50, which adds up to $9-15 over a month. Costs are $10/month and sometimes we break even, sometimes we eat through the forum's savings. Hard to tell how much because the ads only pay out once they hit $100, so a little more than once per year.

Tl;Dr: forums support themselves when they're active, otherwise they don't. It's right on the edge.

Re: close the forums

So you're telling them to close the forums because you got [TRIGGERED] by a Fortnite ad?


"𝓗𝓘𝓖𝓗 𝓠𝓤𝓐𝓛𝓘𝓣𝓨" non-animated signature.

You know this eagle ain't lying when he can smell things miles away from him, all thanks to his super powerful sense of smell. (Idc if this image doesn't fit, lol.)
Idk what my profile icon is supposed to be, lol. Activeness: Infrequent ¯\_(º_o)_/¯
Boring fact: Used to have a 709+ daystreak, but lost it due to my memory error...and then eventually lost my 263+ daystreak, also due to my memory error. (Was I sane at that time...?)
Fun fact: If you happen to see my username or Sticksam on Twitter/x or on other sites, that's actually a different person, NOT me. I never use Twitter/x. I just wanted to clear up the confusion a bit for those who are not aware of this, lol.
I honestly know little to nothing about them when I first saw those names on the internet. XD (Might have to give myself a bit of a different nickname at some point in the future.)

I don't know maybe he meant to say Everybody Edits Wookie? But there's no Wookies in EE, right? I'm confused.

Think of it like Wookiepedia, but instead of Wookies, it's not related to Wookies at all. Think, like, Smileys replace the role of Wookies, and instead of Star Wars there is Everybody Edits. Is that clear?
