Hmmm

Just make a donate button

I could, but it doesn't provide the revenue required.  I will probably add a donate button, or perhaps offer a $5 remove ads for a year.  But, I still need the ads to provide a small amount of income.

Fair enough, I understand.  I do use ad-block myself, but if you consider the consequences of having a high amount of traffic, with little to no money, then your account will be shut down - so i have to work on ways to make the income of the website.  $$$ so I could probably get a dedicated server.

For a facebook alternative?  I don't think you understand the costs behind the traffic & space needed for it.

How popular do you think your website will be?

Popular enough for 000webhost and all similar hosts to cancel my membership.
Mostly because of alot of CPU usage which will be occurring.

Then switch hosts at that point (as in get a server and then give it ads)

To what host? As it is, I will be using powweb as a host.  Because my dad pays for it.  But when it gets over the "unlimited"  cpu usage it claims to be, it'll be shut down as well.  The only way to get the proper amount of cpu usage is to pay for a dedicated server, which is expensive. ;_;

there is also the point of space - as I am going to be allowing uploads of videos and images and Microsoft files, then there will be a huge amount of space used.

Get all outgoing links to link to [please don't put commercial ads on Scratch]. It's the least annoying and most productive advertising form in my opinion.

And btw it's been a long time since I've seen you around ssss 

Aye.  It has been!   
I do check up on scratch, but I rarely come on.  If I do post something, it has to be something of importance to me! 
Wanna talk on tinychat?

Why don't you make a donate button that is an adfly-link that links to an adfly-link and so on. At the end, put a "thanks for donating" page.

Well, that's against the ad.fly terms of use.  Sadly.  However, anyone who uses facebook knows that [please don't put commercial ads on Scratch] is blocked.  I am working on a page where it waits ten seconds with a few ads on the page, then redirects them to the [please don't put commercial ads on Scratch] link.

Also, I hope you know that with most ad providers, you only get money if people click the ads. Just having them there doesn't guarantee any revenue.
