The white space to the right of the forums

The white space is where we will be hosting ads and/or promotions to raise funds to make BT self sufficient. For now there is nothing there just the placeholder, however in the reasonable future you will see actual content.

If you want to know more about the ads/sponsors just read this thread. I will post a brief summary of what the ad is and what it does for BTC Inc.

Question: Why can't I post links or pictures?
Question: Why can't I have a signature, avatar, or profile picture?
Question: What's wrong with my account?

Answer: You are in the "registered users" user group. This group is very limited in what it can do. This will annoy spammers to no end Just keep posting once you have been registered for 30 days and have made 11 posts your account will be "unlocked".

It's really easy to put someone on ignore and it's strongly recommended that you do so with people who's posts you don't like.

Step 1 - log in
Step 2 - click on the "settings" link
Step 3 - click on the "edit ignore list" link on the left side of the screen
Step 4 - type (or paste if you copied and pasted it) the username of the person you want to ignore
Step 5 - click the "ok" button on the right of the screen

Easy peasy and will lower your blood pressure. One important note though, this won't hide quoted posts. It's an oversight on the developers part and it's not an easy thing to "fix." So if someone quotes someone you have ignored, you'll see the quote.

Alternatively when you click on a person's name and view their profile page, underneath their avatar, there is a option that says, "Ignore this person". Click that link and then click the yes button.

Igive.com

Only registered and activated users can see links., Click Here To Register... Is our cause link, this should be automatically filled in when you click the try now button. If it's not please copy and paste it into the cause (top) box.

Igive.com asks you to install a browser plugin that keeps track of where you shop online. It does not and can not store sensitive information such as user ids, emails, passwords, credit cards, home address, or phone numbers. What it does send to Igive from your shopping is your order amount, order date, and your igive id #. That information is needed to calculate how much BTC Inc will get from your purchase.

The button which displays on your browser simply tells supporting stores that you support BTC Inc.

Just for joining Igive and installing the plugin for 90 days will earn BTC Inc $5. Of course they have measures in place to prevent you from joining, then leaving, then joining again to curb abuse. You do have to keep the plugin installed for 90 days in order for BTC Inc to receive the $5.

EDIT: John had actually signed up for Igive a long long time ago, but never put it into action. For those of you wondering, the checks that Igive will issue BT go directly to Dan Hoch the treasurer of BTC Inc.
