This is a brilliant idea! As someone who frequently visits Asian/Russian sites, I've been using an ad-blocker for a very long time, but recently I've started disabling it for sites I trust and support, nexus being one of them. You really do have an excellent attitude concerning ads and site management and I wish to fully support these ideas. I really do hope they'll work out as you've planned, there are (almost) always hidden variables that can only be found through testing, so good luck :)! I have a personal irk (hope I'm using that word correctly) with monthly subscriptions, which is why I never get premium membership on a site, but a one-time cost is definitely something I can take, especially for a site I've used for this long. I'll definitely be getting supporter status once it's available!
