Server Issues, Etc

for a free site with a plethora of advertising to compensate, yea it does pretty good.

I will compare it to MDS, cause they are approaching the user level you have. They also use ads for those that don't pay. However for those that do pay, there is no advertising. If you did something like this, I would gladly pay some sort of yearly fee similar to what MDS is doing. Their site downtimes are very seldom, so whatever the difference is between the two sites, they have less downtime.

i cant speak for bdsm library obviously and dont want to dominate this thread... might be a bit difficult for a sub lol ...but i do know from experience that advertising doesnt really generate any income, and most people dont want to pay for sites when there are so many for free even donations are pretty rare
and sometimes its the server who has technical problems which causes the site to go down.

yes its frustrating and as much so for admin as it is for members
it takes a lot of dedication,pride and love to run a site such as this.
