Welcome to the new forum

I'm used to it lol

To be fair they are plentyful but it won't stay this way. It gets better from here on.

There will also be a subscription which removes all ads and even sponsors ads too. But I haven't gotten round to that yet.

So I need to start off heavy and tail off the ones not getting clicked on.

Interesting, but surely nobody actually clicks on any of the ads, except by accident? It would be interesting to see the results!

About 1.5% of the total page impressions get clicked on.

If I show ads to people who don't click on them I lose money. So I don't intend on showing them to anybody who wouldn't click on them.

If it is annoying you while I do this, I've made a subscription option that will remove the lot. At least do it for a month or so as that'll be how long I need to mess with them I rate.

Brexity? I thought most members on here were Pro-Brexit being working class and all.

Thanks for your patience in advance. I'll be making lots of small changes and adding our old custom features and code over the next week or so. So please reserve your suggestions until then.

You can post new threads, reply to old ones, message each other, etc etc and it should all work fine.

Advertisements will come and go, and at some point seem pretty heavy. But they'll die down again once I've found the happy medium between annoying you all with ads, and actually making enough money to stay online.

Sponsors ads will take priority - I'll sort them before the night is out.

You'll notice we're on a .net now - that's staying as our new home. The .co.uk felt a bit brexit-y and I thought what the hell, we're globally awesome so let's try tackle the yanks.

Please feel free to chat about the changes amongst yourselves in this thread. I wont be checking it for suggestions though. I'll ask in a few weeks when I've completed everything and get a bit of feedback then and make a few changes should there need to be any.

All the best.

How do I go about receiving the weekly email of top topics please?

Have you tried going into your profile ans seeing if it's under 'Preferences'?

 

[telectrix]

should rename this thread as "welcome to the world of unwanted adverts"

 

[Dan]

As I've said a few times now, and it's getting boring repeating myself, I'm still messing around with the ads and will be for another week or so.

So hang in there, or just sod off for a week and give me some peace. lol

 

[Dan]

Those that use it, you can enable ad-blocking again now if you wish.

 

[Silly Sausage]

Ad free here, 4763 blocked so far!

 

[Dan]

PMSL - We haven't even displayed that many to you since we've switched. That's probably blocking things that make the forum look right.
