Keeping Bulbagarden online costs a significant amount, and it is only by [[Bulbapedia:Benefactors|generous | Keeping Bulbagarden online costs a significant amount, and it is only by [[Bulbapedia:Benefactors|generous donations]] that we are able to foot the bill. We hope to decrease our reliance on charity by publishing advertisements on Bulbapedia, which is the single largest site on the server in traffic terms. Specifically, we are proposing the publication of {{wp|Google}} {{wp|AdSense}} advertisements in the site-wide notice area. | ||
We have refrained from doing so in the past because people are not drawn to Bulbapedia for its community, as is the case with the [[Bulbagarden forums]], but for its content. Bulbapedia is a [[wp:Web 2.0|Web 2.0]] site, therefore its content is created by its users - and to that degree it is also owned by its users, as opposed to other reference sites like Veekun or Smogon, where content is created by the staff. To monetize user-created content can be considered unethical - as one cynic put it, "Web 2.0: you make all the content, we make all the money." | We have refrained from doing so in the past because people are not drawn to Bulbapedia for its community, as is the case with the [[Bulbagarden forums]], but for its content.
