the max 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 I don't mind them, at least they're on the bottom of the page. And most of them seem to be surveys. At least it's not 'WANT A BIGGER DICK~!? CLICK HERE!!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
admin 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 We are testing them, to see if they are profitable, because the server cost are needing additional funding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 KKK, you could just not click them. That has to be the smallest allocation of advertising on a board this size that I've seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Placebo Effect 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 You probably want to get rid of the "click away on them" part. Google will give you a warning, and possible cut you off from the program entirely for it. I'm clicking them whenever I get the chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 For the record, I made this thread in jest -- whatever you guys have to do to pay the bills is fine with me. However, there's no way I'm supporting the commie ads I've noticed so far -- "Help us save the planet"? No click from me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ripper 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 You aren't supportin it because it makes money, thus feeds into the capitalist nature of this country which your hippie ass is against. You fucking hippie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jingus 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 I don't see the problem with those ads. I never noticed them before this thread. They're acceptable, unlike popups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Highland 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 I'd rather they open into a new window or tab. I'm too lazy to right-click and select open with tab. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

admin 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 Yes, everything is ok; NO Google ads are NOT SPYWARE or ADWARE. You have nothing to worry about. The more you click the more we make, and this all goes towards funding the server and keeping things running smoothly. This is an alternative to asking for donations. We are still testing over the next week if advertising can even make enough money to be worth keeping it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 Wow. I actually posted something important enough to be pinned, aside from my hippie football contest. And WTF is up with hacking into my post -- where are we in, Nazi Germany?! If you guys need some donations, I'll pony up. I guess this means Dames isn't reaching his sales quota goals or something...

Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2005 "Hippie" really needs to be used less. Whoever does that stuff with peoples' names needs to make "hippie" turn into "My pea-brain can't come up with more than one reactionary word to describe things I dislike" when typed into a post.
