What's with them...?

Greg Bernhardt said:What is there to know? They are what they are
Greg Bernhardt said:Moonbear, the line of ads is only after the first post of a thread, and they are of the same format as the google ads below the navbar. My goal was to increase the number of contributers. I'm merely just testing and if people want to overreact then that is their business. I could have possibly given notice before I added them so people wouldn't be shocked, so if anything I am guilty of that. I am open to hear opinions on the matter, I never said they were set in stone.
Moonbear said:Oh, just one line? That doesn't sound too bad. Have you considered sticking a link right next to the ads that says something like, "Want to get rid of these annoying ads? Become a contributor."
Moonbear said:Do you and Chroot have to look at the ads so you know what they contain, or do you turn them off for yourselves too?
Moonbear said:*bows down and kisses Greg's feet* My humblest thanks for keeping this place running and sincerest apologies if my comments came across as criticism. :tongue2: (Note to self: wash Greg's feet for him before kissing them next time. :yuck: :rofl:)
Greg Bernhardt said:I didn't take anything you said negatively, I encourage discussion on all facets of the site and always have. Everyone here has great impact on the site, no one person is responsible for it's success, we all have a role.
motai said:You know, you could put the ads after every single post. :tongue2:
Greg Bernhardt said:haha, I'm not that cruel. What about placing them after the 2nd or 3rd post, would that be better for everyone?

motai said:*snickers even further*... what about randomly in between forums, subforums, and threads. :tongue2: :tongue2: :rofl:. Or how about having a forum/subforum/thread link randomly go into an ad .
Nothing like being evil . *suits up in armor to avoid the tomato barrage, prepares to blast into space*.
honestrosewater said:The ads don't bother me either. When I finally find a job, I'll become a contributor. Promise.

chroot said:Moonbear,
I agree entirely. I'm hereby publicly announcing that, if the ads are not removed, I will be leaving the site.

Moonbear said:armed guard standing outside the small box through which they slide food to him.
Greg Bernhardt said:So why aren't you at your post!? :tongue:
Moonbear said:I'm on break! The Sisters of PF have rotating guard duty.
motai said:Has anyone considered having a massive bake sale/car wash/lemonade stand to generate revenue?
Tom Mattson said:I thought you were just a band of sexy mercs who were after humanino's scalp.
Moonbear said:Oh, we've forgiven Humanino
and are now banding together to go after the truck driver who broke his PhD project.
Tom Mattson said:Bah! That's his fault for not being a theorist.
Ads between posts in threads refer to advertisements that are inserted in between the posts or comments within a discussion thread on a website or forum.
These ads are placed by the website or forum owners as a way to generate revenue. They may also be placed by advertisers who want to reach a specific audience that is engaged in the discussion on the thread.
Yes, these ads are often targeted to your interests based on your browsing history and online behavior. This is done through the use of cookies and other tracking technologies.
It depends on the website or forum's policies. Some may allow you to opt-out of targeted ads, while others may not have an option to block them. You can also use ad-blocking software or browser extensions to block these ads.
No, these ads do not affect the content of the posts in the thread. They are separate from the discussion and should not interfere with the flow of the conversation.
