Hey guys,
I think this Forum would be much better if we had more advertising. Right now I don't think there is enough.
Having more ads might have a negative impact on user experience, but who cares when we're making 0.001p per click?
Amirite?

I agree about the ads it's a pain.
What would be nice, if posters who seem to have a problem with one another can not turn everything about them. I'm not sure the age of certain people who post but if it's more than 16 I would be suprised and extremely embarrassed for them
On a serious note...
The ads are silly and all from Mickey Mouse ad providers so they're probably not generating that much of an income.
The site would probably make much more cash from ads if they improved user experience and focused on quality over quantity.
Maybe even introduce a £5 a month membership to view the site without ads. I'm sure many would pay it to keep the site afloat.
I've noticed Wales Online are going the same way with overkill on ads. Long term sites like this are killing themselves because people will just get overwhelmed and leave instantly. It makes no sense.

But that adds too much white space.Quote:

Second point would be to ask everyone to follow improv comedy rule of adding to what has been said rather than blocking it. We may disagree/want to put across a different angle on things but sad to see a number of threads recently turn in to shouting matches where OP is no longer discussed in 80% of responses. How mad can you get at an anonymous stranger wasting time on the internet? Unless they're trying to make money out of it like LeaDer or just a cock in real life like Jusset.
I don't see any ads. Am I missing out?
Only if you are desperate to know why Dolly Parton wears long sleeves...Quote:

If MM had a patreon or something for £1 a month, even if 100 people donated £1 a month we could make this board ad free at very little cost I reckon.
My guess is though, the boss is locked into a contract/agreement with footymad.
I would pay £12 a year happily. :-)Quote:

Footymad did consider a paid ad free membership. I’ll ask about it. Once you sign up ads are turned off for your username. I have nothing to do with that side of things. FM do all of thatQuote:
