oh I shrunk it. Right.

Ok, so after jumping through hoops to get my paypal account verified, I've come to the conclusion that I'm not able to accept donations even with a premier account. I guess that brings me back to square one lol. Should I look into something like google adsense? Is that a viable solution? Or is that just going to be an annoyance and be blocked by everyone's Ad blocker anyways?

We also seem to have an influx of spammers from russia and china recently even with the email verifications. I'm resorting to banning email providers and IPs when they end in random garbage.

You won't get paid by google, since your site violates google TOS ( adult content, piracy) - after you reach 100$ in your account you will be manually reviewed by one of google employees and your account closed without being paid. You might want to try adbrite/blacklabelads but they have terrible rates ( i got paid 100$ from them once, but it took 3,5 milion impressions to get it, so i took ads off as soon as i reached minimum payout ammount ). Other ad networks that would both accept your forum and offer somehow decent rates have too obtrusive ads to even consider them if you care about your community. Donations should be the way to go for you - even if you can't accept donations directly, by putting button onsite, you can just write your paypal adress so that people can manually send money. You might also check chipin.com, but i never used them, so i have no idea if it works.

As for spammer problems - they are using Xrumer ( http://www.botmasterru.com/ ) - really advanced bot, that can register on forums, confirm accounts with built-in pop3 client and post messages/send PW automatically. Don't know about SMF but in vbulletin it can be blocked quite easily by adding additional question during registration ( for example "two times three = ?" ) - people running those bots care only about quanity - they don't review each forum on their list to find out answers for questions - they can get 200 more forums in same time. by adding security question like that you should cut spam down by like 95%

Wait what is this? Cross over OVA?

Just enabled captcha for people with a post count of less than 10. Hopefully it'll help slow down the spam that we've been getting recently.

Indeed. His stuff was/is quality work. That and he's like 45% through translating Kangoku Senkan 2... Hopefully he'll be back one day.
I'm just wondering, has a partial patch of KS2 ever been released?

Save folder location

1. My Documents Folder
2. Application Data Folder
3. Install Folder (I guess where you install the game.)

Even if you couldn't understand this you probably have already installed the game no problems.

How does anyone feel about a subscription button? I don't mind as long as there isn't a minimum amount, I can donate a dollar per time?

Fees, fees everywhere.

Is it just me or is 4chan down? (frontpage)

Added a few themes, and a few little functions to the forum.

I seem to be able to see the front page, so could just be you unless it happens to be working for you as of this post.

Mizuno

there are times recently were 4chan's frontpage is down for me too
well as long as you can access the boards then it's okay

I barely use the front page, so I didn't notice anything.
