Admin4 Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 As advised, we have launched this version of TAMB, free of all content, because Google had cut off the revenue flow that we need to maintain the board. Google advised us that some board content breached their t&cs - but they wouldn't tell us what it was. All of the old content has been archived and there is a link to that. We will be seeking other ways of financing the board, but in the meantime, we hope that this action will persuade Google to restart advertising and funding. We will be ruthless in deleting "non-appropriate" content. We don't know what that is - but be sure that it will include profanity and links to NSFW-type sites. And members will be disciplined. Please work with us on this. Don't try to push to find where the line is. There isn't one - and all the Mods may draw their own arbitrarily. Meantime, please enjoy the board.

Clyde1998 Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Could you not partially run on donations? You could possibly use Indiegogo to do this. Quote
dandydunn Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 I don't like change. I do,I gather it all in a big whisky bottle and then exchange it at tesco. Normally get a good couple hundred quid at a time. Quote
jock strap Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Is it not feasible for members to contribute a small amount to assist in the running of the board ? Kind of like a membership ? Any extra cash could be donated to the Sunshine Appeal ? Quote

tartansmarf Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Just out of curiosity how hard did you argue with Google? bearing in mind they are a company who have allowed paedos and rapists to delete their own information from the web, the TAMB must have done something god damn horrible for them to remove their support!

WillfaeSwindon Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 What's NSFW? If you don't know that, i'd get off the internet sharpish! Not Safe For Work Quote
Bzzzz Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Maybe the SFA could help out? or is that against their principles. Quote
Scotty CTA Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Google advised us that some board content breached their t&cs - but they wouldn't tell us what it was. Couldn't you just conveniently blame a perceived 'undesirable', make them scapegoat, and ban them just like the last time there was a problem? Quote
