Maxman Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Later tonight I am putting in ads from a new network. They should be the same with two differences: 1) Hopefully the site starts bringing in more $ 2) We should have less problems So, being serious, about # 2 ... if anyone has any issues with bad ads, please let me know. This network has a good rep so I am hoping things work out well. But you guys will be the judge of that and if there are any issues we will remove the ads completely. The user experience comes first. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We posters ARE the content creators by and large after all. I think we need a YouTube model, for each viewed post a profit sharing between site and content creator. With post-writers making advertising deals that allow in-post advertising on a split share between poster and ad company! Quoted posts/responses (driving site views and traffic) would also be split on some basis. Brilliant idea Tom, glad you thought of it. Max? This post is brought to you by......Barbasol! Brabasol!

I hope @Maxman makes a ton but I don't think the economics of running a forum are very lucrative. This is a labor of love and I'm really grateful that Max is independently wealthy and able to afford to keep the site running. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are the #'s for May: If I average out all the costs (hosting being 80% of it, then adding in 3rd party software costs), the site costs right around $600 per month. So we were negative this month, but March and April were much better. So it is okay. Very strange month, I took down the ads because of the redirect problem. Only to find out that was a hack and not an ad problem. Got that fixed and put the ads back up. Only to have two different really bad redirect issues that were ad related. Bye bye ads a second time. So, let's hope the new network is better. I think they will be. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clicks don't matter to us, we don't do any ads that pay us like that. So please only click on items you are interested in. Clicking too much would just get us banned.

But seriously thanks for all the work, time, and money that goes into this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebabyny Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Well @Maxman like I have suggested before, move the gloryhole from the mod's lounge to somewhere more accessible, and add a coin slot, and you will be choking on all that money, among other things. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
