Mr.RadioActive Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Doesn't this site charge sponsors? Why charge members, I'd have the sponsors pay a small fee monthly if they already don't. And why not ask members to contribute a couple of bucks to place ad on the site for a sale item? I'm a admin on a big forum, and out forum is paid for by sponsor fees, and donations. Ask the dealers to kick a watch to the admin every 90 days or something, and raffle it off.

HauteHippie Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 </rant on> Is this adultfriendfinder banner really necessary? Are so few people paying for VIP memberships that we need to scrape the bottom of the barrel to fund the board? If so, this is a really big disappointment. And on top of it, the whole forum is slow because of it... Countless times now I've waited for the forum content to appear and the browser says "Waiting for adultfriendfinder banner to load." Geez. </rant off> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Are so few people paying for VIP memberships that we need to scrape the bottom of the barrel to fund the board? Yes And I have not noticed and slowing down of the forum other than when we had a bug the other day. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 </rant on> Is this adultfriendfinder banner really necessary?</rant off> The natives are getting restless, Chieftang! Always a bad sign. There are two issues roaming the threads this week. 1) Porn-like Avatars 2) Adult advertising Subcategories of irritation include: Ads slowing down the site; unable to view RWG during work hours; VIPs who thought they at least could get some special treatment, as their upgrade may imply. That's a lot on the RWG plate, I would say. But just throwing this out there. Don't the Google Ads slow down the site too, when they load slowly? How come no one ever mentioned them before, because of that, especially VIPs? *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come no one ever mentioned them before, because of that, especially VIPs? *shrug* Avatars can be turned off. Did that over a year ago. Adultfriendfinder banner ads, on the otherhand, can not. I can and do use Adblock to remove the pics but I can't avoid having to wait for them to load and I can't eliminate the "Sexy [censored] in <your city>" hotlinks from appearing. Sure Google ads can potentially slow down the site also... but they don't. When you own a high percentage of the internet peering sites, as Google does, this becomes a non-issue. As to the non-work friendliness, well, if you're viewing RWG from work that's asking for trouble anyhow. I tunnel all HTTP traffic through SSH to an offsite squid server to keep all my internet activity out of the corporate web logs... And yet I still don't like the Adultfriendfinder ads.

HauteHippie Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Ah, just hit it again. 10:52PM Pacific time. "Waiting for banners.adultfriendfinder.com..." for about 15 seconds. Enough said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmzy Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Consider yourself lucky: Mine are all horny guys... Well, news on my date.....'caliente' from Benalmadena turned out to be 55 years old, English woman with a nervous laugh. She did admire the Chopard though. For what I paid for her drinks I could br wearing a reworked Fiddy. NEVER AGAIN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drhydro Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 I had not noticed these ads until this evening- but, then, I haven't been spending much time on this forum lately. I'm gonna be here more from now on, though- I'm getting weary of the drama at RWI and wish to breathe some fresh air for a while... My $0.002- I'd prefer something else. At work, I can safely visit these forums- but these ads are too close to the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Carl Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 If it's tedious and offensive to me, which it is, it must be incredibly offensive to women. I'm in favor of women. I'm not in favor of this. Get rid of it and find a better way of financing the forum. You have always had my support to this point.

Craytonic Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Did you test some sort of text-based ads for keywords yesterday.... please tell me some crap like that has not gotten on my mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted September 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Happening to me too... maybe these sexy girls have access to spyware programs? If you ever see these kind of text ads, please take a screenshot of it and e-mail it to admin@rwg.cc. Also provide a link to the ad and preferably save the link that the ad points to. I hate that kind of ads and I would never ad anything like that to the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcrooz Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 I've got to say that I'm really not in favour of these 'singles', 'hot women' ads. I'm not being moralistic, I just don't want to add fuel to any fire in case I was ever caught at work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
