New Ads on Thread Pages

Remove all ads!

I've had 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th chances to be honest! I think the admin on here pretty much as lenient and fair as they come. They do a great job, in my opinion.

 

That's true. Back in his Morsmordre days, Barmy came close to being banned several times. But he seems to have survived his rehabilitation and is now a fully functional, if not a little misguided, member of society. All hail the SP justice system!

 

I'm gonna take you to the cleaners one day, Gaz .

 

I've stepped up in the world. "Minion. Kuemper T. Minion. Yes, I like the sound of that."

 

Okay, thanks for the clarification on how the ads compensate (multi-measure; kinda like a taxi meter running up for both time and distance) Will keep my clicking to a reasonable amount, and I've actually got another reason to go through every thread in at least one forum

And I have to say that this is one of the best sites I've seen - definitely the largest site in the 'stable' category (I'd perused a few mega gaming sites some time back, but after a while they seemed to take on a fully commercial route and the membership disintegrated; most cannot be found nowadays) This place is a wealth of material and information, and hosts the widest variety of fora I've encountered.

Add to this, it's well-organized. Well-thought-out guidelines and rules exist and are applied with fairness and humanity. Given the magnitude of this place, that's an acomplishment in itself!

So I have to say THANK YOU Tal, thank you admins, thank you mods, thank you contributors, thank you regulars, and yes, THANK YOU DONORS. This place helps me break out of my apathetic ennui once in a while

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go figure out what the 'catch' to these "free smileys" sites are...

 

*giggle* Well, Tal, everyone, look on the bright side... The entire rambling has not only generated a positively hilarious thread, it must've generated quite a few views too

Ok, who else wants to know how much the kitty coughed up?

 

@Klorox - I'd also like to know, but that's between Tal and Fel.

Lately I've been getting the same ads at the bottom of the page. Two Free Greeting Cards or two Got Smileys? I feel as though I'm stuck in a wacky game of Old Maid.

 

Man. I thought chronic lack of gratitude was primariliy an American epidemic!

I've been coming here for over 4 years. I made a small donation a while ago. I have never been asked for money, or made to feel like a lesser entity for my lack of largesse.

All of you whiners, get a grip. You've got a good thing going here. Why find fault? If you don't want to visit the site, then don't.

 

Ooh! Some of the new ads scroll when you move the mouse wheel... cool. Worth a click if SP gets more money.

The other one's for Crazy Frog, though... even for SP, some principles must remain. After all, we wouldn't want to encourage the freakish amphibian, would we now?

Slightly off topic: I wonder what happened to that guy who always made a shedload of donations, but had about 2 posts? I can't remember his name, but I think he had a Githyanki as his avatar. Even under two skies, I have to respect that...

 

Err...uh...hmm. Well, if you're really desparate to know the exact amount, you can PM me and I'll consider it on a person-by-person basis, but otherwise I'd suggest the MotW thread. Tal updates the first post each time someone gets it.

To be honest, I was a little surprised to find out that mine was comparatively big. I thought I'd be somewhere in the middle; after all, leasing a dedicated server ain't cheap. I figured Tal was just surprised because I hadn't been registered that long.

 

I think his name is Seayer. Remarkable person. To support the communitiy, but not to participate. Which is kind of regrettable. I liked his titel: In giving to others, you benefit yourself.

 

Yup, Seayer. That's the dude. I did a quick flick through the MotW thread, and it appears he's on the grand total of 66 posts - and 7 MotW awards. What a legend!

 

I was just teasin'.

 

Well, I have an issue --- I can't find the option to unblock the ads. Using IE and Windows XP ... well, where's the option? I have popups as allowed already, but I can't see these banner ad thingies you people keep waffling about...
