Valiant 96 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I have added ads in between posts. These would help to generate funds that we badly need to pay for the server. What do you think of them? Any comments is welcomed. Are they irritating or distracting? Could any improvements be made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temari-Desert-Storm 0 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Although there is an understandable reason behind this, I don't think it's a good idea. Ads are just plain annoying. If you have an experience with ads, they just get in the way. And they're very distracting. If we're trying to focus on the role play, we should stick to that. But, if they're needed to pay for the server, I think it's a sacrifice people will be willing to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janus 5 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 example, you're reading through a thread where the last post of the page is a cliff hangar. When you go to next page, an ad appears first and breaks the flow of reading and thoughts. I get annoyed at ad intervals BUT like Temari says, if it's for the rp severs then I'm more than willing to bare with it. If I weren't a student, I'd donate as well.

carpenoctum 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 i haven't seen anything really annoying about them yet. Id just say as long as their not huge and obnoxious then i dont mind it for the greater good of the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liubei013 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 At least with the layout on the 'side' of the forum, it doesn't seem as intrusive as say 'pop-ups/unders' or horizontal banners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean those embedded between posts should go away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liubei013 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 'Between posts'? I never noticed any. o_O But yeah, if that was the case, then those should go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to contradict with previous feedback. Interesting. I'm always fascinated by how people browse the internet.
