The Ads On The Board

[Jersey]

Brendan and I are going to whip up a quick lil FAQ about some of the neat new [glow=red,2,300]features[/glow] on this ^here_board.

[shadow=red,left,300]But until then[/shadow]
[glow=red,2,300]
I wanted to point something else out- [/glow]

We *are* able to get rid of the ads on the board- and we've got a few ideas on how to get it done- but dreams they cost some money, and money cost some dreams.

So until we hear back from Vagrant (which is going be soon) I just wanted to point out that at the bottom of the board is this link which directs anyone who chooses to click it to a page on ProBoards which allows you to purchase "credits" for the ads to disappear. It's like seven bucks for 50,000 pageviews. (Each pageview is each time each of us clicks any link on here. So they go relatively quick)

ANYWAY- if all goes according to plan, none of us should ever have to feel obliged to click that thar link.

But in the meantime, I just wanted everyone to know how it all works.

This board- although fully customizable- is merely a template from ProBoards.com. They, in my opinion, are the most versatile, robust, stable and secure message boards out there.

So there ya have it.

I will say I am troubled by the text ad at the bottom of this page that sometimes appears ... "Pro Anorexia"

WTF?

why is google placing that ad here? it needs to go, asap, or i will flip a shit.

Although on a brighter note they also put a "nabisco chips ahoy" ad down there. Which is much more fitting.

I don't see any ads!

i will donate money to get rid of these ads. i don't care about ads in general, but this really isnt cool.

Agreed. If there are ads, they should be ads for THS merch, Tourmaline albums, Jonesie demos and the like. Power to the people!

[toastie]

Adderall...Klonopins...Feminax...

[WhiskeyDaisy]
