kkktookmybabyaway Posted May 5, 2005 Report Posted May 5, 2005 Trying to make a profit off the backs of your posters -- Dames and company ought to be ashamed... - TSM admin We are simply testing this method to try to help cover the server cost rather than asking for donations.
Black Lushus Posted May 5, 2005 Report Posted May 5, 2005 what ads? I'm missing something... Pop-ups? hmmmm, you mean I have a popup blocker that ACTUALLY WORKS?
the max Posted May 5, 2005 Report 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!!"
admin Posted May 5, 2005 Report Posted May 5, 2005 We are testing them, to see if they are profitable, because the server cost are needing additional funding.
PLAGIARISM! Posted May 5, 2005 Report 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.
Guest Fook Posted May 5, 2005 Report Posted May 5, 2005 I never noticed the ads until I read this thread.
Placebo Effect Posted May 5, 2005 Report 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.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted May 5, 2005 Author Report 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...
Ripper Posted May 5, 2005 Report 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.
Jingus Posted May 5, 2005 Report 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.
Highland Posted May 5, 2005 Report 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.
The Czech Republic Posted May 5, 2005 Report Posted May 5, 2005 I just see Google ads about forums. I don't mind it. I was just worried that Google installed spyware, just making sure it's your doing.
Black Lushus Posted May 5, 2005 Report Posted May 5, 2005 speaking of Bob Barron...is this for real? http://snlyou.jt.org/writers/barron.phtml
bob_barron Posted May 5, 2005 Report Posted May 5, 2005 Yea- I wrote a couple skits for them about 4 years ago
admin Posted May 5, 2005 Report 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.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted May 5, 2005 Author Report 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...
Black Lushus Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 oh man, making us pay for this place was an option you were considering?
admin Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 Not making you pay, but ask for donations to keep the site ad free.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 Whoa, I just noticed them. That's a fuckin' trip.
The Czech Republic Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 Yes, everything is ok; NO Google ads are NOT SPYWARE or ADWARE. You have nothing to worry about.

We are still testing over the next week if advertising can even make enough money to be worth keeping it. Well then let's all click ads with the same fervor and dedication that we F5 threads recently started by CronoT, because if I'm ever told I have to pay for this place, I'm leaving.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted May 6, 2005 Author Report Posted May 6, 2005 Well then let's all click ads with the same fervor and dedication that we F5 threads recently started by CronoT If that were the case, we'd be getting a cut of the action to be sure. Er, I mean the posters which perform that unfunny gimmick. Because if I'm ever told I have to pay for this place, I'm leaving. Then go get a job, hippie...
Art Sandusky Posted May 6, 2005 Report 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.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted May 6, 2005 Author Report Posted May 6, 2005 Bite me, my pea-brain can't come up with more than one reactionary word to describe things I dislike. Shit...
Black Lushus Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 Kotz, I just don't think I can see KKK without him uttering hippie constantly...it's like Jericho calling people Ass Clowns, it has to happen...
Vern Gagne Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 I've got no qualms in being a corporate shill
Art Sandusky Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 I hate the rich, until I'm wealthy myself. Then I'll just hate all the other rich people.
MrRant Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 Google Ads are ok. But some of the freakin' banner ads are irritating.
