I appreciate the effort Erik is putting into the forum but I am learning about the forum changes from the Features thread, just like everyone else, and I was a little concerned about possible mixed messages. I have no plans to use the bug tracker at the moment as the Bugs thread works very well so please continue to post in that thread. Also, I don't know how long the donate button has been on the forums but it is something I was completely unaware of until I spotted it today, so please don't assume any donations are going to me or even that I am asking for any. Adverts seems like a reasonable idea although I wasn't involved in the decision to add them.
I would like to generate some income from Aurora at some point so I can spend more time on it. This will probably take the form of rulebooks and/or novels, both of which are optional although the former will make understanding the game easier for new players. I am still several months away from that at the moment though as my focus is the software, which will remain free. I hadn't considered advertising on here until I saw the banners but it doesn't seem too intrusive so I have emailed Erik to discuss it.
