adds suddenly over the top
adds suddenly over the top
Is it just me? The adds all of sudden are everywhere, in the middle of posts, at the top at the bottom...something changed?

It's just you Gary LOL
I think @MJKlein is looking for a good balance...
I'm sure he'll reduce the number of ads if we all click on them (to pay for the forum space and domain name).

Blame Google. That's their idea of good ad placement. I won't be letting them do that anymore.
I don't mind ads at the bottom. And I also don't mind ads at the top, because they are out of the way. But I don't like ads in the middle of content.

It may take a little time to propagate but it should be back to a reasonable level very soon.

Re: adds suddenly over the top
Google wants site admins to let them manage the ads and put them where Google thinks is best. It's interesting to note that on May 7, the date of the first complaint about the ads, the revenue generated was 10x what has been generated in the following week after I reverted back to manual placement control. That cannot be an accident. Of course we're talking about very small amounts of money but it means that Google is using that to leverage admins.

Is there a way to donate for the operation of this forum? I run an adblocker for various reasons, but would love to contribute in the cost of this site directly instead.

Re: adds suddenly over the top
The cost to run the board is not prohibitive, and my personal circumstances are such that I am in a position to run the site with very little financial impact. So, unless I was going to make some kind of large investment, things are good as they are. I want you to know however, how much I appreciate your offer @thunfisch.
I made the previous comment more as an observation about how Google would like us to all let Google run things, but unfortunately my comment may have been taken as a compliant about lost revenue. I apologize for that! That was not a compliant at all. Over time, a few ads will take care of everything. Also, using an ad-blocker is a personal choice for users to make and all users are free to use this site without prejudice.
