Trotter Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 most of us ponied up $5 a month for Peacock so money is tight. Also if UNLV got off the bus last night I would have a few extra dollars. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Ghost Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 The pop ups are making the site unreadable. The page keeps crashing constantly. @bitonti don’t be a suck up. 🤮 what started out as a few ads, basically took over half the page, and now we’ve got these damned tv style ads? NOTE the freaking page reloaded twice while i typed this! WTF 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @Maxman 1 hour ago, David Harris said: The site has been PeaCocked. Putting something that used to be free behind a paywall, and now asking for money to get it back to the simple experience it used to be. I don't know the financials of the site, I doubt the Ad revenue is needed to cover costs, as I've been on these sites for 25 years without this annoying distraction being necessary. But this is America and people make money off of everything, I like Max, he's an American. EDIT: so to pay to remove adds you click on your profile in the top right and go to manage subscriptions. $70 BUCKS a year = seems steep for a chatpage Can you pay just to turn off the omnipresent new pop up TV add? Is there a tier for that or maybe just get rid of this change and make money off of basic adds that don't pop up and start talking. 1 hour ago, David Harris said: If only there was a precedent for a Jets chat page that made heavy handed changes to the basic user experience... They were supposed to put this in for the guest group only. We want tiered incentives. Guests see less ads than registered members, the premium no ads group sees no ads. I just changed this so the new ad should only be appearing for guests. So let me start there. Any guests that are reading this, please sign up for a FREE account. We want people posting, so if you login you will see less ads. Now for this other stuff, if you think JetNation is simply a chat page, I will disagree strongly with that. With over a million page views a month this stuff isn't cheap. I dare anyone to show me another Jets site, or content creator, that cares less about making money than we have here. You can't do it. We are going on 20 years and the story is well documented, I said no to a 6-figure payout during one of the many acquisition calls we received. So to answer the question, 100% ad revenue is needed to cover the costs. For years the site cost $600 per month to run and that # has seen a large increase in the last two years. We now have a dedicated server and cloud hosted forums. The tldr version is the ad is gone, it was intended for guests only and was put up for everyone. So in the future, just let me know if something doesn't seem right. We have a pretty long track record of caring about the user experience. 8 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pac Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 The whining about the ads is kind of embarrassing. Every time it's brought up it gets changed so not sure why people thought it would be different this time. Do you expect the guy to pay his own money to keep the site open? Half of you won't even pay five dollars a month for a streaming network with thousands of hour of content. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extmenace Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I guess it’s fixed but I visit this site 99% of the time on my phone and it wasn’t a big deal. I have no problem with maxman seeing a financial benefit for all the hard work it’s taken to get this site to where it is today. Life is expensive. As someone who owns a business, I can tell people first hand that there are so many expenses that the average person would never consider. I have no idea what it costs to run this site but I guarantee it’s more than I think it is. Cover your costs, make a profit, I don’t care. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t mind the ads, I realize it’s a cost of doing business, but whatever those tv style pop ups were doing was making the site hard to read, much less post. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
