Ads

[Greenskull]

Hey everyone! I'm just wondering what you guys think of the ads on the site. Are they annoying, too "in your face", or barely noticeable? The reason they are even there is for me to be able to even afford this site. Please vote and comment, thanks.

[xXHorrorHippoXx]

I half dont like them...

[rabidhotdog]

They sometimes bug me, but most of the time I don't even notice them.

[GameManiac101]

I'm used to ads because almost every forum if not all the forums I go on have ads so they don't bother me at all.

[Semper]

What ads? ;)

[Tough Gandhi]

The ads are fine. I barely notice them

[v Sim CO]

Don't bother me to much.

[ppod]

Adblocker for firefox = win.

[prototype9100]

Yea, they don't bother me. Need some way to pay for this awesome site anyways :P

[zE bEE]

they always seem to be for DDR... so theres no way in hell im clicking them!

[Tough Gandhi]

U no wats sad even the xbox 360 dashboard has ads
Everything has ads NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Semper]

Video Games have ads in them.. NOOOOO!

[zE bEE]

all you see in EA games is ads for other EA games
Even in the simpsons game demo on the stadium there is a ad for madden 08

EA makes a lot of good games but they are advertising whores :D

[LoH nVerted]

I just don't like ones that open new windows and make the site slower.

[Lord Dman]

I barely notice them and when I do I don't know what they are, Usually.

[Sho0terman]

To be honest, I never really noticed them until I read this thread, lol.

And speaking of advertising in video games, Rainbow six is terrible for that. Every vehicle is a Chrysler, there are billboards with the word "Ubisoft" on them, and there are signs for Axe and some random other stuff. Talk about subliminal messaging.

Ok, now the advertisements are starting to bother me because they are popping up in the middle of the forums now. Heres a picture: http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u279/xXHorrorHippoXx/adverttisements.jpg

[zE bEE]

yea, and there all big ass youtube videos! it is very annoying. But if its helping keep the site up. We can all cope.

[GameManiac101]

I didn't mind the old ads but these are horrible!

[v Sim CO]

These ads are incredibly annoying.

[Greenskull]

yeah I'm probably gonna change the youtubes to smaller or smething. I need the money to keep the site up, we dont get enough premiums yet. I still am in debt like 300 bucks

But a cool thing, the sponsors have NO ADS AT ALL! Another big perk.

[zE bEE]

how do you make the money through ads? number of views?

sometimes. It's mainly clicks though.

[rabidhotdog]

Ya but isn't it like a cent per click?

[eZ NoXide]

Who clicks adds :confused:

[zE bEE]

I like to click those banner games, then quickly close the pop-up.

[xXHorrorHippoXx]

I click them by accident sometimes.

[Greenskull]

Ya but isn't it like a cent per click?I actually get quite a bit more than that, but not enough unless I get a lot of clicks.

[eZ NoXide]

Let's ALL GO AND CLICK TILL WE DROP.

[Greenskull]

It was a joke lol :P

[zE bEE]

But secretly he does.. :P

[xXHorrorHippoXx]

Haha, I "accidentily" click the big one from time to time. But, sometimes the videos look cool! I think there was a Red vs. Blue one one time.

[IA SWAT1202]

Woah Woah Woah Woah! Wait... there are adds on this site...? I'm not being sarcastic here either... like, I'm searching for them and I can't find any! Or are they gone because I'm a premium member...?

And no, I don't have add blocker installed, but anyway, even if they were here, the wouldn't bother me at all and I'd be happy to click a few to make you money :)

[Semper]

There's usually one right below the user control panel, and something at the very bottom.

[Harflin]

There is one always after the first post on the page, If I recall

Swat, prems don't see adds, yet another great advantage to being a premium

[IA SWAT1202]

weird... there's seriously no ads for me, and I know I don't have an ad blocker either... that's really weird... lol

As long as they don't make noise or flash a constant pink I'm fine, whatever keeps this site online.
