I've got similar ads, IRC and hosting. It's not too far off the topic, usually.

Posts: 145/869		 I got some Spanish ad that presumably is for a credit report? Huh.

Posts: 68/179		 Lets see... I've got "Credit Repair", "New IRC Network", "Fico Maximizer" wth? and "Doom for your phone"

I have no problem with ads, some are pretty interesting like the one on the last page "Get a free gcbadcb" XD wth is a gcbadcb?!

It's a single ad block at the DEAD ASS BOTTOM of the screen.

I'd say that sites with ads = owner is intelligent (as long as ads are out of the way and not popups).
Half the people here DIDNT EVEN SEE THEM. Seriously.


Come on guys, I didn't say I was complaining. I was making a comment. The ads don't bother me at all, I was just stating that when owners put ads on their boards, the people of the board think they're "selling out", or "they don't care about the community anymore". My comment was NOT a direct bash at ||bass, Acmlm, or anyone.

I will assume you have ad block.....

Not that it matters because the ads are teeny. Not really bothering anyone, except those whose veins popped by seeing them the first time.


Mmmmmaybe

Posts: 177/1800		 I've yet to see one of those ||bass, thus far they've been about as targeted as a Whirlwind artillery barrage outside of the line of site.

Posts: 15/594		 If you notice, most of the ads HERE are selling videogames and anime. I'd say that's pretty good targeting.

GameFAQs ads are not annoying at all though. It's just a thing off to the side which wouldn't be used anyway through the nature of the site layout itself, meaning it interferes with nothing.

Posts: 10/28		 I don't see why this is even a discussion honestly.. It is at the bottom of the page, it is not obstructive in any way, it is not causing you any harm.. You are not being asked to click them, you do not need to click them for them to take effect..

What is the problem?
This is an easy and painless way to help pay for the boards server, I can't see why anyone would care..

Posts: 287/517		 I don't know what to say about the ads. Somtimes they're annoying but most of the time you don't notice them anyway. When I noticed them for the first time I wondered how long they had been there. I thought I had just never noticed them before.
