pay for itself??  hahahaha, that's funny.

for a while I thought the various manufacturers who generate significant
amounts of sales because of Looper's Delight might be interested in
advertising here, but that was foolish. Clearly some of them would rather
spend $thousands on full page ads in magazines that have smaller subscriber
bases than LD while taking advantage of the LD list/website community for
free publicity.

I get some money from the other sites that pay for space on my server, a
little bit from the guys who made the Looper's Delight CD's and share some
of the profits with me, an occasional puny check from advertisements on the
site, and once in a while a generous user will donate a bit of cash. None
of that comes close to covering my costs to run Looper's Delight, so
primarily LD is paid for out of my pocket. I expect that will eventually
change someday, but it isn't happening very quickly. Admittedly I haven't
put much effort into achieving that lately, as other things have taken over
my time....

If anybody out there is currently feeling shamed into coughing up some
cash, I'd be happy to sell some ad space for whatever it is you do. your ad
will get plastered in front of gearhead musicians hundreds of thousands of
times per month. your conscience will be clear. Also, as I mentioned before
I'm looking for one other mid-sized site to join us on our server. Let me
know if either is interesting to you.
