Brad Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 For those who noticed, yes those are Yahoo ads on the BF site and here in the BF forum. They are shown: - on the BF site on the ad listing pages only (store or category) - on the BF forum (no other boards) after the first post of a thread, only to members with under 100 posts We're going to try them over the weekend to see how things go. Any $ we make will likely go towards hosting the BF site next year, cause it's going to be A LOT of $ to host this next year with all the press this year. We're not supposed to encourage anyone to click on the ads to support the site, so I wont do that All the ads will be gone after BF, so for those of you who are sticking around, you won't have to worry about them in a week, and if you have 100 posts, you won't see them here on the forum anyway :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebony0421 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 If having the ad is gonna bring in money to keep the site up and running for next year, do what you gotta do. :woot2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmcca Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I didn't notice anything but i guess my my post count is too high. If it helps to defray the cost of hosting which i am sure is enormous then I say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalle1212 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I havent noticed the ads but I wouldnt care if I did. You site is the &%@# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 Yeah like I said in the first post, if you have 100 posts you shouldn't see them. It's mainly for all the lurkers who register to view the BF forum and never post. Most of you who have been here a while already have 100 posts, and if you don't, well then either get posting or put up with them for 6 more days :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mesarobins Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I noticed them but they are not intrusive and I have no objection if it brings in a little revenue to help you guys keep this wonderful site going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBsDarling Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 And if someone w/ over 100 posts just has the undying desire to search for something where would they get the link? *wink wink* Cant have you guys going broke when i just found ya!!

Just view any of the store or category lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mugs Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 It's a good idea to not have them appear if you have over 100 posts, but I personally would love it if all of the hits you get from me were generating ad revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKFRI Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 At least you used Yahoo!. I hate Google. I don't trust them and won't click on anything that takes me there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted November 20, 2005 Author Share Posted November 20, 2005 Ads have now been removed from the forum. The $ made with them was not worth annoying everyone, so we're just going to keep them on the BF site for now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
