They have a message on their front page (and I think the colors have been changed):
Also, alittle notice to those of you who have signed our guestbook. We are working on a better background, if you have any good ones you think we would like that are easier on the eyes, please send them our way. We are not doing anything wrong by asking for donations, we need the money to start the site up again since it is an older one that we are trying to rebuild, not to start a new one. If you don't want to donate, don't, but don't leave insulting comments in the guestbook. They will and have been deleted. There is no need for that, especially for those who cannot seem to leave an e-mail for a reply. If you don't like the site, leave. It's as easy as that. We do not go around leaving insulting messages for others, so please do not do it to us. We are trying google ads, but it makes it very hard to pay for the site when no one seems to bother to click the links below. Plus people who put that this is a paysite should learn to read. This is not a paysite, it is a free site, we are just asking for help to keep it free. Again, you don't like it, then leave. For those of you who are here honestly and just enjoy the free downloads, this message is not for you and thank you for visiting, and please come back. Thanks for your attention
Edit: They have a stupid character limit, but I got the most important part of my message in:
