Flashing ads on here

[greenwood]

Got to say the flashing ads on the main screen before you log on are very suspect looking, if i had'ant gone to the trouble to look in this site and join, i may have never joined, there is also another link to free energy motor, this stays on the sceen and you cant click away from it! this also looks very suspect.
I 'm sure you need the money to keep up such a forum, to some it looks dodgy though.
Just my opinion you know, dont know what any one else feels?

It's save
We are aware of it - and they are somewhat annoying. Tone is working out several things to generate money to keep up the forums (adds, etc), but also keep it friendly and not too much in the face. Some things will change, others might stay. We do appreciate your opinion, as this way we know what people think of it

Every time I log on, there is the same ad telling me I am the millionth visitor or some such. Click now for my fantastic prize.

Amazing how they think a bare faced lie will make me trust them enough to click a link...

Still, if it pays for the site. All good.

I have it set so I dont logout so I dont really see any of adds and I have it bookmarked for http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum and not http://www.bushcraftuk.com

Me too... the only time I might see the home page is when I click on the home page by mistake instead of new posts

I for one was intrigued by your zero point module!!! It's exactly what I needed to power my stargate!!! Now I can travel to other galaxies all because you have three patents!!!!!!

Seriously though, I have got the 'log me in' ticked, I'm a paid member and due to some browser bug, I have to actually click the forum link before it's got me logged in and the ads disappear. The flashing one isn't very well placed, I hope it's generating a lot of money Tony

i think these dodgy "you've just won xyz" ads lower the tone of the site. Fortunately with Adblock on Safari Mac they are gone in a fraction of a second.

Question for Tony: do we need these ads to cover the cost of maintaining the forum? Don't membership subscriptions already do that? I'm not trying to be a smart alec here, just curious on the economics

Out of curiosity , what does it cost to run the site ?

PS hope this isn't a sensitive question .

I was thinking the same thing the other day. They're not really so bad and you'd have to be quite brainless to click on some of the dodgy sounding ones. As long as I don't get molested by sleezy web cam pop-ups, I don't really mind to be honest.

My Ad blocker in Opera browser hides all that stuff.
