Well, that's actually an easy thing if you think a bit ... like you already correctly noticed, banner clicks are low, and this caused several major sites to go down.
Now imagine you're a hosting company, and several of your best paying sites shut down ... which possibilities do you have ? Exactly, you have to lower the prices. This action took nearly 10 months to take place, but prices are a hell lot lower now.
As for our future, we're currently making more money than we need for the server, and that's great as everything we additional make goes to our host, which kept up a lot of sites during the past months, which wouldn't be able to stay alive otherwise (hello lev

)
And we hope it'll become even better ... during november or latestly early december, NGEmu will jump on a new server, where we should be able to use an amazing amount of bandwidth. This will allow us to offer our hosted sites banner free hosting if it doesn't fit into their design or whatever - of course we'll still appreciate it when they keep the banners on, but it's their choice. Furthermore, we should be able to play "fileserver" for some big emus which currently go down after every second release, and add some very cool feature (no clue what features we could do ? Well, imagine when you could go to our page, click on plugins pack, and the server would build you a plugins pack with the latest versions, exactly made for your PC configuration ! It could even make a complete installer right away with your favorite emu and plugins... the possibilities are endless)
Furthermore do I hope that some costs I'm currently paying myself (some examples ? I ... re-newed aldostools.com today : 15$ ... bought a vBulletin license 4 weeks ago : 85$ ... renewed psxemu.com early august : 15$ ... got a host for (secret) : 10$/month ... have bots to take care of our IRC channel : 20$ / month ... you get the picture I guess) will pay back as well in the first quarter of the next year ... if not, I guess I'd also survive this, as NGEmu is one of my favorite hobbies right now, and it should remain this with all the visitors supporting us !
