I'll just say that with Dave's money I put ads on a ton of places, and found Fark and Kuro5hin led to the most users and I suspect the best quality users. And it wasn't just those two who came in after Dave's donation; there were about 50 user accounts created during the two weeks I was guying ads from his dough, making up about a tenth of the entire user base.

D didn't say it but 115% of your Paypal donation goes to ad buying, and a key time for pushing the system is going to be coming up soon. 115% because every time people put money in I put money in too.

I keep talking about the summer slumps, well, in three weeks that time period is going to be over. The day after Labor Day would in theory be an important time to nudge people that there are new things to see on the net. And there are new places to advertise all the time.
