We need your input please! This Poll will run for 10 days. After that we will make our decisions moving forward. This gives you as Members a voice!
Haters are always going to hate and there's nothing we can do about it!
Recently we have been personally targeted by haters just because we want to do things right.
Our licenses were revoked for many scripts we shared and lately they managed to fully block Babiato from AdSense.
Job well done!. But, what they don't realise is that it is actually their loss.
What you may not know is that we own over 10,000 legitimate licenses for scripts that we are sharing within the Babiato community. Some are deals but many of them are monthly/yearly based and they are costly.
Monthly costs for Babiato are around $1,000 USD (possibly more!). This is just to come out even, let alone make any money.
So, as of now we have 2 options:
1. - continue with lower quality Ads from different ad networks that will accept us.
2. - continue with monthly milestone donations.
Benefits and cons:
- going with ads will eventually overwhelm you with low-class ads, insufficiently secured ads provided by networks and intrusive ads. We (the Babiato Team) are personally against this. Whilst I/we do tolerate a small number of ads every once in a while I am totally against intrusive ads. However, this seems to be our only choice as of now regarding ads, unless something new comes along.
- Whilst we will keep some ads for everyone else, donors will be exempt from ads.
- Other benefits of donations will be increased download limit (amount to be determined), access to the Decoding Request Section (within the guidelines) and more.
Now it's your turn to decide what you think is best for our community. Hence the poll: 1. Ads / 2. Milestone donations
Please ask any questions you have and we will try to answer ASAP!

Explanatory Note:
Reading through all the posts I can see there is some confusion about what Monthly Milestone Donation actually means.
What you need to know is that Babiato is and will remain free at least for resources we own licenses for and for resources our community members are willing to share freely for everyone.
I am sorry, in my mind it was all was perfectly explained, but I didn't realize that you can't actually read my mind. And believe me, the mind of @TassieNZ can be a jumble!!!
So here it is: Monthly Milestone Donation's actually means a monthly goal that we strive to achieve from donations.
The Donation amount levels will remain the same (presets from $5 to $200 or custom amount).
Example:
We need to reach a minimum of $1000 / month in income to support all Babiato infrastructure, although it would be nice to actually make some sort of profit!
Total donation amount will reset monthly.
If we reach monthly goal, then a % of whatever it's over the monthly target will go to a new scripts fund, from where we will buy new licenses for scripts to be shared.
Everyone is free to contribute whatever amount affords either is $5 or $100.
It is not mandatory to donate but here comes the advantages of a Donation:
- special badge
- ads free
- access to some closed sub-forums like Decoding
- increased download limits per day
- access to some perks that are to be established
I just hope I cleared some confusion with this! As always, if you have questions, just ask!
