So one thing I’ve been since the beginning is honest. And to be perfectly honest, my family and I are struggling right now. Owning a house is much harder to adjust to than we thought it might be. And because of the economy, my editing work is slower than it used to be, which means I’m not bringing in as much money. Therefore, we’re having to find other ways to bring in money.
As you all know, this site is a labor of love for me. I make no money from it. I’ve had a donate button on the site for a long time and have had only a couple of donations, and I’ve not had any sales of the merch I had designed and am selling. And believe me, I get it. I’m not begging, and I’m certainly not angry or unhappy about it! I don’t WANT you to have to pay to use my site. It’s supposed to be an easy, fun place to find what you need and share our love of TV.
Unfortunately, I’m going to be doing something soon (within the next couple of days, I think) that I’ve never done before and prided myself on not doing, and that is to have a banner ad. It will likely be located at the top of the page, above even the header. I will not have any pop-up ads, and I won’t have any ads down in the body of the page. Depending on how it goes, we may end up putting another at in the sidebar on the right under everything else or on the outside of the page. But please know I’ll be visiting my page without being logged in so I can see exactly how it looks and behaves for you guys, and if I find it so off-putting that I hate it, it’ll probably come down. I just…need, I think is the right word, to try to do what I can to help support my family. Please know it wasn’t an easy decision, because I know many of you have reached out and thanked me over the years for not having any ads.
Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support. <3 <3

Just wanted you to know that I go to your page every single day. Sometimes more than once. It’s part of my daily routine. I want to thank you for your passion for tv and this guide. I hope you will continue but would understand if you can’t. God bless my friend.
