[Xzin]

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.

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?

YOU ALREADY SPENT THE XMAS MONEY WE GAVE YOU! I thought you could easily coast on my $20 for 6 if not 12 months :P

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.
