Got Rid of those Ads

[Player0]

Those big ad banners at the bottom should have been gone months ago. Should help load times a bit. Those Ads made us a total of $0.39 i beleive. Woo.

I'd like to bring a couple new advertisers on board. Perhaps even SwiftTech or DangerDen or something. XtremeTekWerkz ad has really worked out for the both of us.

Would anyone be opposed to having a big 468x60 ad in the header of the site (in the redesing).

Another option would be to ALWAYS display the left sidebar on the forums page. I think there would be more resistance to that. Does anyone use the left sidebar on the forums?

Just looking for ideas on how to make money and keep everyone happy as well. No more untargeted ads, and we'll never do popups, thats for sure.

There's a left sidebar? :D

Nope, I don't use it. I have no problem with ads for good places.

Just no X10 ads ;)

I'd like like to put in a vote for popups. I love the X10 ads. I keep thinking to myself "If I just had one of those cameras hot chicks would undress in front of it."
All jokes aside, I've never had a problem with well placed ads. They give me a good reminder to check out Danger Den and [H]ardOCP every once and a while.

I've used the sidebar 3 times...ever:)

There's a side bar believe me, I can't get rid of the damn thing regardless of how many times I click on "HideLeftColumn".

But I don't use it and I wouldn't be opposed to a banner linking to an appropriate site we can all benefit from (such as Swiftech etc ...)
