Craig Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Hi folks,I am currently running a trial by placing some ads around the forum.At the moment we have a McAfee ad in the “Security Issues and Updates” board, and a dabs.com ad in the “Hardware Troubles” board.I will keep these ads to a minimum, so hopefully they will not interfere with the forum.The reason for me placing these ads is so I can try and generate a little bit of income to pay the forum bills!Craig.

trackrat Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Craig I have just clicked on the Dabs link and it does not work.You get exactly the same response when you click on McAfee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expertec Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 :( So sad, one of the things I always liked about the site was the lack of ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djohn Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 I was reading an article regarding the clicking on adds and it appears that it does generate a decent return for each click. If we are to have them then don't forget to click on them each day otherwise Craig won't get paid! :P There is of course another option and if the majority of members don't want the adds, [i would prefer not to have them] all it requires is a nice letter to Craig a few times each year to help fund his holiday expenses. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Craig must be immensely wealthy to have paid for the forum for so long. A few adverts won't cause any bother. If it does come to us patting bums, can I please pat Nellie's and Artist's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djohn Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Don't think so Rebel. I don't know how it works or how much it cost but I think it has gone way past the pocket money or hobby stage by now. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel=UK= Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 hey i dont mind some1 trying to make a few pennis here its just that you can get a forum hosted for free you just need to put up with adverts on it (which we now have here), yeah its not as good but its not far off in my opinion.
