Advertising banner?

[mwalsh]

The Boardwalk Nissan banner ad (or other ads of this type)....is that permanent?

Edit: I don't mind it so much now that our regular banner is back and the ad banner has been moved to the right.

I would like to know how she can claim that when the orders aren't finished yet. I don't like it.

Couple things:

1. Yes, these banners are permanent. These companies are supporting this forum in order to keep it free for you to use.
2. In the near future there will be an option to donate to the site and have an ad-free experience once logged in.
3. DO NOT discuss how to block these supporters ads on this forum. If you have a problem with an ad etc, contact me.

I have no problem with the ads. Commerce is a "good thing". It also decreases the subsidy of running the site for the owner and/or supplements the donations used to make the site operable.

The 'internets' cannot be free forever........

Makes sense. I'm deleting the ad-block posts ....

The only reason advertisers are interested in advertising here is because of the amount of traffic on the site.

The amount of traffic on the site is driven by the content on the site

The content on the site is driven largely by a couple of dozen individuals - arguably fewer.

Thanks for your cooperation guys.

I agree. At the risk of sounding chippy, what's your point?

To be fair, their are costs associated with operating this forum. To the extent a non dancing, non offensive and site appropriate banner defrays some costs, then great. I seriously doubt a single banner ad turned this site into a profit center.

I just hope the admins are getting the real value they deserve from this ad, this is an extremely targeted ad, and the CPM should be really high.

I'm a little surprised to see the ads after the 'should we take donations or put up ads' poll. I guess the donations tab wasn't working.....
