errrm
At a guess your seeing ads when viewing dual-boxing.com Opt?
I'm not and dont think others are so suspect it something on your PC. Try running adware or spybot etc if this is the case.
Beware!
Blue Advertising Box on top of the mainpage of the forums incoming!!! :-)

Not seeing em either, and I checked the portal as well. Are you using IE?
Also - Wouldn't mind if there was ads. Someone's gotta pay for hosting.
The ads JUST showed up for me. Must have been downloading this morning?
No ads, gooooooooo Adblocker!
Boo for having only IE at work. Hooray for having Firefox at home.Quote:

Yeah appeared here as well.
well msg Ellay :D
if you donate to keep the site up due to dedicated hosting and bandwidth then payment he might say No Adds :D
go go go pm pm pm
this site has gained 20% more traffic since the server and forum upgrade so we need to have the site paying for it self otherwise we might have to start getting Wilbur to pimp Ellay out.
Medium pimpin' baby.
Don't you mean pimp Wilbur out?
I know some hate ads, I prefer 0 ads too myself... and I'm prideful and dislike asking for mula. I'm making sure it's no more gold selling sites, or powerleveling services.
If everyone would prefer a donation page instead, and I'll put a target up every month and we just make a goal would that be more.. sufficient? :)
I think our goal should be
*raises pinky to lip*
One MILLION dollars.
and cake is available from me at the WWI event :D
Majestic_Clown, Stop humping the 'Lazer' ..
Tsk tsk Zin you're only making the problem harder on poor Ellay by adblocking ;) I saw 'em too this morning, stuck on IE at work instead of Firefox =( But as long as they're non-invasive ones from google or amazon I don't care much...once they start leaving cookies left and right or pulling other risky shit I won't be able to browse at work anymore, if shit gets on this comp it's my ass in the fire
Why? I NEVER click ads anyway.
Any chance of the add being just text? I don't know about you guys but I really didn't like some of the stuff on thottbot... flashing etc...was horrible
Yeah, some poor kid could definitely have a seizure from those ads on thottbot, theyre brutal.Quote:

Inflation has made the price of crack, hookers, and crack-laden hookers go up, Bravo =\ lolz
I think some classy google ads would spruce up the place and add profit. The text google ads are not bad at all. I encourage most of the site owners I know to go with google.
Ads? :whistling: There are methods for whitelisting javascript/java/activex in all current browsers. The firefox + adblock + noscript is a free option and one that's been working very well for me for the past couple of years.
So far I just see the add banner in one place... not really a big deal.
My feathers on get ruffled when there is a banner at the top, right, left, bottom, and in between EVERY post. Thats when I start wanting to hunt the admins down.
i don't think the donation route would pay for much at all.
afaik, it hasn't so far... and the donation button has been out there since december.
(i believe the Christmas money was blown on the new servers... taxes... and maybe a present or two)
don't get me wrong... if some of you 'famously' wealthy types would like to support the site, a $1-2k donation would probably cover the year and ads may go away (talk to ellay about that.. but it's my guess)
meanwhile, i have no problem accepting a couple of ads, especially if they are relevant. (i'd suggest a vertical banner that rotates between ips)
the amount of time and effort as well as the monetary costs need to be offset somehow... otherwise the site will suffer.
(you guys have noticed an improvement in site performance and better layouts, right? time and money...)
These amazon ads are slow loading.
Google ads are clean and fast.
Ad's don't bother me.
I don't know if it's the ad, but the forums page has been really really extraordinarily slow to load. I'd say 50% of the time it's slow to load with only the ad and the top banner showing. Are you scanning my hard drive for dirty secrets?
lol...forum is lickety-split fast here.
I've never seen a donation button on this site, can someone point me in the right direction. I'm a firm believer in supporting a community that has helped so many, without Dual-boxing.com I wouldn't have 5x lvl 70 Shamans in almost full PvP gear. Make it so people who donate dont see ad's imo, and those who cant afford to donate can look at an ad every once in awhile.
Ask yourself this guys & gals, where would you be if dual-boxing.com never came to be? Probably outside enjoying the sun like normal people, what fun would that be? :P
Hey man, do what you gotta to pay the bills. I don't mind ignoring a few ads if it helps you out.
I have a question about ads though, which was prompted by the suggestion to just put up ads and adblock them. Does the site generate revenue if I block the ad? I know ads tend to work such that you get a certain amount per "view" and another (greater) amount per "click". My point is, if adblock'ing these ads will invalidate the revenue, those of us who would like to support the site may want to consider turning off that feature here.
Can we get some ads with cute japanese girls?
I mean if we're just throwing out ideas <_< >_>
