I don't think any of us want you to have control over the domain name.

I didn't mean that, I just meant give diff the money either through paypal or something else. lol

lol $12 is nothing.

Coolio · 2014-08-27 15:01:09

is there a way to make it so that any ads we DO click go to a new tab?

Elochai · 2014-08-27 15:02:01

Ctrl + Click or mouse wheel click

I think the idea is that the ads generate all the money needed, so there is 0 loss.

Can you make it so ads generate $12, then disappear for a year?

Is there a way to center the ad instead? The left align makes me uncomfortable.

Done.

This.

Then we'd have nothing for the next year. Although I'm thinking better placement might be nice. Maybe above the quick reply? Then it's not always RIGHT THERE, but it's still visible. Or maybe after the first post on each page. I'm up for suggestions on ad placement as long as it's not on the bottom because nobody can see them there.

I think where it is is good.

skullz17 · 2014-08-27 16:08:21

I agree

Coolio · 2014-08-27 17:23:39

I like it where it is as well, but I also want to see what it might look like if the ad was to the right of the forum logo, since there's a perfectly sized space pretty much right there.

Different55 · 2014-08-27 17:31:32

It's actually about 200 pixels too narrow on the minimum width size. (1024px wide)
It'd end up getting shoved to a new line on 1024x* computer displays (most netbooks and many old displays) and phones, which default to a 1024 width for now.

If the ad were somehow made less wide so it could fit, it would look something like this:

Silverheart · 2014-08-27 17:48:49

I would have space for it.

Different55 · 2014-08-27 18:00:10

I actually could make the ad less wide, but would it look good there?

Coolio · 2014-08-27 18:02:11

They're both okay. If the ad in the top right causes that much trouble, I'd just go with the way it is now.

Silverheart · 2014-08-27 18:02:36

imo better than the way it is with way too much empty space around it.

Ratburntro44 · 2014-08-27 18:26:05

but how it is now helps us remember the good times back on forumify

Different55 · 2014-08-27 18:58:16

Good times.

Silverheart · 2014-08-27 19:48:34

pfft I had adblock then too.

colon · 2014-08-28 07:12:02

Put it between users in this topic and the useless jump to thing

Even if nobody clicks, I get paid a decent amount for every thousand ad impressions. Enough to run the site. So having it at the top of every page really helps out with making sure we make enough. Also, studies show that ads displayed above the fold (on the first screen full of webpage) get clicked on more often.

But, then once time comes to pay for the site, you stick the ad back up to generate another $12

so Generate $$$ ----1 year----->Pay->Generate $$$ ------1 year----->Pay

Silverheart · 2014-08-28 08:49:13

I'm guessing that would count as suspicious behavior to adsense.

skullz17 · 2014-08-28 09:14:25

So like, ads disappear as soon as $12 is generated?

Ratburntro44 · 2014-08-28 09:16:11

I don't think that's going to happen.
