Hey Ill become an author and you don’t have to pay me!(p.s. you probably wouldn’t anyway but still…) Ill happily post for you while life takes it’s toll. and trust me i have better grammar than this. I would like to become an author because i know a-lot of people like this site but when theres no new posts you just find yourself overlooking the website. Then you just forget about it. if you’d like me to become an author then send me a text on XB-live and ill respond.

p.s. I can’t get on till about after five in the spring cause of football. I’m on almost every day except for then.

Here are some comment ideas:
- Allow users to register an account, and allow those registered users to be approved. Any future comments will be pre-approved so you won’t have to worry about moderating.
- Allow users to comment like “regular” (name, email, url) and have a captcha form to prevent [most] spam from going through. You can then just moderate AFTER comments are posted, so you don’t have to worry about too much.

If you really think that you need to make money in order to post here, then you kind of lost sight on why you originally created this website. When I created a blog on a movie, I didn’t do it in hopes of monetizing it but in hopes of being the #1 source for the movie, so people came to it to see what’s new on it. Spending >hour on it isn’t that daunting. Especially if you can get other volunteers to help you out.

If you do want to monetize it, personalize it with graphical ads that people purchase from you. And of course just a better layout altogether.

I’d hate to see this die just because you don’t have any profit to justify the time spent on the site.
