And tapatalk takes the revenue from the site owner and directs it to themselves.

 

Without ad revenue, how would we support nearly $300/month in server and software?

 

If we had 300 regular users we'd only need $1/month.  When/If we start winning again hopefully you can run this just through donations.

I experienced that on my phone last night and switched to the full version I reported that to the ad company. Those ads are not on the site by design and will be removed. Some unscrupulous code w

I think it might be time to either do another donation drive for the website or, in the alternative, to do a group donation to USF Athletics on behalf of The Bullpen.com. It would be cool to get enough gathered as a group to provide some sort of financial aid to a USF athlete annually. Thoughts?

Site is completely unusable on iOS, and that's not hyperbole.  Instant redirect to spam app.  Every time.

Honestly it would depend on how much per person we try to raise.  The Mrs and I have been bumping up our contributions to the school and are fixed income types. s

 

Edit: And I'm not sure if we want to bring attention to what we say over here to the powers over there.

If this is the case is there a way you could disable it?  That's pretty bogus that it takes the revenue out of your pocket.....

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
