Hello members. DFB was started by users from the erstwhile DFI.
I'm making this post in order to be transparent regarding the finances of this forum.
This forum is hosted on a dedicated server, which costs 132$ per month.
The forum won't be monetized via Google Adsense. Google forces websites that run it's ads to censor content.
In DFB for example, Google routinely flags content from "Idiotic musings of Pakistan" and "Idiotic musings from the West" threads. If we run ads from Google, we'll have no option but to censor content that's flagged.
Admins have decided it's not worth it to censor stuff and hence Admins have decided to run the forum by paying from their own pocket.
If any member still wants to contribute, they are free to donate Bitcoin to the address listed in the sidebar.
The admins will keep the forum running for years even if there isn't a single donation. Also, the donations are transparent and anyone who has some technical knowledge regarding crypto, can check if the listed address has received any donations or not.
Thanks and that'll be all!
