share revenue from adsense ads with script authors
i figure by now, the site must be making enough money to cover costs of hosting, plus more
an option for script authors to add their adsense code, if they have them, and then randomly using their code on pages detailing their scripts, would be a cool option, and encourage more people to add their scripts

I like this idea a lot - the site isn't making tons of money (I don't put ads on the homepage, I don't show ads for logged in users, ...) but it does make enough to pay for server cost with a bit left over (I was planing on done something special for the authors, I've talked with a few of them about getting shirts).

What I worry about is people claiming other people scripts (which already happens), and monetary gain would cause more people to try to claim other's scripts. So I think we need to address this issue before we do this.

This will make some kind of people chase the page shows. On the other hand, people who write actually useful scripts already can add a Paypal button to the description.

I prefer the shirt idea. It could help foster a sense of community.

We should totally have a t-shirt design contest in the forums.
