Lonely_darkness Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 I have been on like 7 other vbulletin forums but this the first one I have ever seen with ads. Why is it that it has ads? It is supremely annoying.

ImTheOneThatFalls Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 Thats what I was wondering. *points at your post* See?! http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/49c716f74fa996e7008ed59929468159.jpg
UnhingedMouse0 Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 Well, weve always had ads. Since we are not the official LP Forums and our owner is not an endless source of cash, ads are needed to help pay for the upkeep of the site. The domain, the hosting space, that kind of stuff. Ads can also change depending on which ones pay out the most for each click that one recieves. More clicks = More cash for the owner to put into the upkeep of the site. So click the ads when you can. Now the ads have not always been a big box in the first post like they are currently. They used to be in the sig of the 1st and 11th post on the page. Before that when Qwest was the owner, they were at the top of the page and below the first post. And even before that when ATLien was the owner, they were at the top and bottem of the page. It all really depends on where the owner wants to put them, depending on where they think that the ads will get the most clicks. Coredump (our resident owner) is currently experimenting with placement of the ads, so they may move around. Hope that helps. :thumbsup: [ R.I.P. LPF ]
Lonely_darkness Posted November 24, 2005 Author Posted November 24, 2005 Ahhh... ya I was told that vbulletin is expensive. I was asking about it cause I wanted to upgrade my forum. hmmm... So its only if you click the ads that they get money? Okies I will click them as much as I can then ^^ [broken External Image]:http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/Lonely_Darkness/Woot.jpg[broken External Image]:http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/Lonely_Darkness/sweet.jpg Proof That I am Badass "I am neither devil nor death.

misery Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 *groan* Now there's ads in the actual forums, underneath the first 2 threads. So annoying.. meh, they're helping keep the site alive though, so that's good.

Hahninator Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 thats why im not on LPF as much anymore - stupid ads
misery Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 thats why im not on LPF as much anymore - stupid ads They shouldn't bug you that much o_0. Just a minor annoyance to me.

Clogz Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 I've gotten over them. Its making us money and thats a very good thing. And then I felt chills in my bones / The breath I saw was not my own I knew my skin that wrapped my frame / Wasn't made to play this game XXI
Black_Angel Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 I prefer them like this rather than when they were next to peoples posts. i still love you, girl from mars.
shadowfax1007 Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 i dont mind a few ad's, but this is bloody insane, they are everywhere, and they are multiplying as fast as rabbits. Its nice that its making money for LPF and all, but its a plain annoyance to the average LPF user. If I was some new user to LPF looking around, I would probably be put off by the amount of advertising, and not come back very often. Just, cut down on the ads please EDIT: Just out of curiosity, how much does LPF earn per click on an ad?

Stenners Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 It all depends on the amount of views the ads get aswell Google ads is weird and un predictable at workin out how much u get per click. Delete my account, the is no reason why it should be against standard procediure, do it do it do it. Or LPF Sessions 3 leaks before it's done and Spoilers will be posted for every film release. Not to mention periodic troll invasions.
LPchris1336 Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 seriously i think its really dumb to have the ads at the bottom of a forum and heres a little screenshot of it Check out lpus.info ....pwetty pwease?
