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 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.....

No problems whatsoever with iOS 8, full version rather than mobile app, TBP6 theme ...

Also. pretty sure Brad still gets a little something when you go through here to buy stuff from the site affiliates linked on the Index page.
