so i see we have ads now.

does clicking on them, give SciForums money?

about .05cents each click?

I see that as well - interesting.

It appears there are changes
afoot. ;)

I don't mind clicking on the ads every time I load a page, as long as it keeps more ads from appearing all over.

They're not in my way, and they don't pop up.....yet.

Porfiry is taking care of business, tastefully.

I think it was because were using to much bandwith and the admin isnt getting the donations he needs.

Yea, it was because of the bandwith.

Gatta pay the bills somehow.

Well, it was a pleasent surprise. I wander if clicking on it gives the site moola, or if money is given for how many times the page is viewed....mmmm

Nicely done anyway. Hates off to you *tips hat*

It's non-intrusive, and I've clicked on it a couple of times.

No, clicking on them doesn't directly make any money. In most cases, I get a marginal commission only if you buy something, download something, or provide some info to the advertiser. We'll see how well this does.

By all means, click away.

So if we subscribe to USA today and get that 24% discount, you'll get some money for it?

Yup.

btw, I have complete control over what ads appear, so if you have any feedback, positive or negative, let me know.

Makes sense. Tis only fair

I know what you could advertise open source. :)

If we have to have ads, this is one of the better managed ways to do so. After having seen some of the horrendous X-10 camera ads this is a welcome relief.

Well done, Porfiry...

it blends in quite good

i like it.
LOL.. its not really an add.. its more like a poster on a wall. lol. it doen't get in the way, its kinda pretty to look at, and it adds color. :)
EDIT: that purple one anyway....

I clicked on one ad and signed my friend up for some search type thing now they have hes email and should now get lots of spam. (yumyum laughs evily)

I haven't seen any other but the wireless solutions ad.
Is it supposed to be so?

I wanted to sign up yumyum, but because I couldn't find his mail
then I created one for him and signed him for those ads
and all the ms newsletters

yumyumlovesms@hotmail.com

MUHAHAHAAA

now THAT is evil!!!:D :D

ughh..setting up an email address...ugh...I just donated some money, much easier than setting up all that junk.

I agree. :)

This is just sick. You must be all good little clones and not question anything. Hey, the slavemaster fed us today, we should be grateful! Yes this is a site and we're all free to leave, but that doesn't mean you have to become mindless sycophants.

You reading this? I can't agree more with this. Except I see no reason to donate.

Just. Couldn't. Stand it. Could ya?
I just knew you were not really leaving. :D

Are you sure "sycophant" is the word you want
to use here, or was it just on your Word-A-Day
desktop calendar? How does people voluntarily
paying for a service receive makes them toadies?

Peace.

My vote for 'Most Ungrateful Son Of A Bitch Of The Year' goes to..... you guessed it, FEN!!!!

slimy bastard slipped in through the back door:eek::mad:

:D:D:D

And so Fen descends to using an ad hominem argument. Well done, sir. :rolleyes:

And I thought you said you were leaving?

& if I click on it I get

The page cannot be displayed


:( :(

Im going to start providing the advertiser with information about my exgirlfriend.... Hehe. Here comes the late night Tele Marketer calls, spam mail, and just plain ol crappy snail spam mail.

ON the lighter side, I have pop-up blocker so bring em' on!!!

you're not the only one
