right now I realize I'm happy there aren't any, but "If this will help the site and forum to get better put them up"


but why are you asking this, BRAINKILLER ?

because he's interested in what we think... 8-)

if it helps the site get better, i'm all for it.

it's not like you need to click on them.

plus, if you use firefox with ad blocker and add-art (not working with most recent version yet) you won't even see them :wink:

i agree, i don't mind it being up if its gonna make the site alot better, the new site has alot to offer, theres so much stuff here on the forum, im trying myself to get things into one sections, especially the fan mixes, would be good to bring them back, so im working on getting them all on the "prodigy Mixes" thread.

along with some other stuff, so its easier to find once you wanna build the site up 8-)


so yeah go for it bk, if its gonna help then go for it, although i hope the forum layout doesn't change, i love the orange and dark coloured forum, this ones like the only one of its kind

I really don't mind google ads. They're discrete and are usually quite relevant.

It's those fucking popups or flash ads that piss me off.

maybe you could get away with putting them on the main page but keeping the forum clear of them...i replied in the negative because I like the way the forum is laid out without them but if it helps pay hosting fees and stuff like that well who am I to say anything. Its very nice of you to ask an opinon aswell I must say.

then I should get Adblock


just got another idea
I don't visit to much the main page, but only the forum 95% of the time, and I thought: the Google ads could disappear when we're logged in (just like on Discogs), so it's mostly the Guests who'd see them but still I think we got more guests than registered users?

just a suggestion

Voted 'If this will help the site and forum to get better put them up'

Google ads aren't that bad and like Aquila said, they're not as bad as those fuckin flash ads or worse, the ones that open a new window when ya close em. Pure evil.

as i seen on another forum about the mars volta, a system where donators would be privileged would be ok too. let me paste the email i got
Quote:
Well our current host has changed its billing structure which makes our monthly bill go from $250ish a month to around $1500/month. Awesome. I will be spending a lot of time this month finding us a new home and moving the forum over again. I doubt we'll experience much downtime. Feel free to throw in some $$$$ if The Coma completes you. Donators get the following perks:

1. No Ads
2. Ability to change your display name (once a day)
3. Unlimited PM & Attachment Storage
4. Blue Names!
5. Access to the donor-only forum

Donate!

Not a problem! Maintaining a site has costs, good way to compensate some.
Appreciate the poll, you respect the people.

198 views and 24 votes, I'll take that as "I don't mind to see any ads"
the site requests more and more bandwidth, even if I removed the downloads and the old site is hidden

thanks for the replies to all of you, this is my site but it's your place so I'll never do any major change without asking my people if they agree with it.
working on wordpress and phpbb integration as we speak

thanks again to all of you for support!
