Advertising in Anime-sharing? what do you think?

[Kasumi]

Ah well, all is forgiven in the Spam Kingdom.

 

[Slayn312]

So I wander to the eroge section to check out some new eroge to DL, then I notice some of the ad there..... Let just say I forget what I was going to do next.... Damn thing was very distracting.....

 

[nanashi1]

Hey guys! This thred should serious stay...

 

[nanashi1]

If the image of ASF not destroy, then...

I'm too lazy to read a 200 post of spam but I want to clarify something.

1. We are still tweaking the ads. Different region receive different ads targetting their location.

2. Any discussion of AD BLOCKING software or instruction for using ad blocking regarding this forum will be prohibited. It takes money to finance the cost of bandwidth and hardware, especially a forum of this size.

3. Once we tweaked out all the ads. We will deploy an anti ads blocking system which automatically block access to anyone who use any ads blocking software. You must take step to white-list anime-sharing out of any ads blocking software to be able to access to the forum.

4. Not all the ads are completely set in stone yet. There will be changes over time.

Do note this this is a discussion forum, not spam. You must keep the discussion relevant to the topic.

 

[corocoro]

In short, as long as we're tweaking things you can block ads (though you forgo the chance to help adjusting what will be shown). Once tweaking is done, it's our way or the highway. ;)

Now to delete those last five pages of spam...

 

[~SnowAngel~]

Would there be a message saying something about the ad-blocker preventing you from the website? and I'm not too sure why I couldn't white-list some things earlier :f I tried, but it didn't work x_x maybe you could put some domains here?

 

[Kasumi]

Oops, sorry about the spam. Got carried away...

Well, I've got the ad-blocker to exclude ASF from its blocks so that should do it. I think.

I think its stupid in all....you got money to keep the website or not....plan ahead...not backwards....money wont fall from trees.....and adds...I know a forum with many...adds....many people dont go on that forum cuz of that....this forum does not want to become like them...ohh bytheway...its easy to hide the adds? just hide them... without addblocker....

We did plan ahead but I'm not going to discuss about it. Ads ARE part of the plan. Just saying.

and adds...I know a forum with many...adds....many people dont go on that forum cuz of that....this forum does not want to become like them

Hey, it might be good for us, save the bandwidth cost, and many ads = more moneys. That forum that you talk about must have wanted that too.

ohh bytheway...its easy to hide the adds? just hide them... without addblocker....

It's a feature we intentionally leave in during the tweaking period. Can't tell if it's going to stay or not.

 

[Mato]

well you think everything is ok dont you? its all the money money and money *swings a knife round* well you will see the number of members going down...oh and that forum with adds? did not plan ahead. and adds being your plan? wow you want to lose people dont you?

 

[Will98]

Keep your attitude to yourself Mato.

Every site needs ads to generate income to stay in operation.

 

[corocoro]

The plans to include advertisements were first discussed eight months ago and the finalizing talks were done three months ago.
Yeah, the only thing close to an argument you had was completely wrong.

Everything else you're saying comes down to complaining about a change you don't like. Well, unless you're planning to pay the server bills from now on, you'll have to live with it or leave.

 

[Mato]

ahh no the Moderator that I always argue with *swings knife round and throws it not even knowing were..probbably just stabed someone* whatcha going to do? you just talk like my teacher...''keep attitude to yourself'' I am just warning you *jumps of the table* * goes with an evil smile*

 

[Checkmate]

well you think everything is ok dont you?

It's ok as long as we think it's ok.

its all the money money and money *swings a knife round* well you will see the number of members going down...oh and that forum with adds? did not plan ahead. and adds being your plan? wow you want to lose people dont you?

Chuunibyou

A Japanese slang term which roughly translates to "Middle School 2nd Year Syndrome". People with chuunibyou either act like a know-it-all adult and look down on real ones, or believe they have special powers unlike others.

This is a common stage in growth; for most people, it happens--you guessed it--around the 2nd year of middle school (Grade 8 in Japan). However, the problem is, there are some grown-ups who have this symptom.

...is all I can reply to this

 

[Will98]

As Corocoro said, donate money to the site to maintain it's operation. Or look at ads for 2 seconds.

 

[Mato]

hmm from the posts backwards you said you dont want donations? so what it is? donations or adds?

 

[corocoro]

No, I said Mato should pay the complete bill - because if you're not willing to do something, you shouldn't ask it from others.

Did you see a donation button anywhere because I don't. It's quite pointless if we can't raise atleast 1000$/month anyway.

 

[Mato]

Hmmm I wonder who actually made this website you know?

 

[Will98]

I voiced the donation part.

"donate money to the site to maintain it's operation. Or look at ads for 2 seconds. "

 

[corocoro]

You're forgetting the hardware investments for the collocated servers. That should add up to another $500 monthly.

The Checkmate Alliance.

Let's not scaring away all of our potential donors. I'm trying to be very positive here with all the veryyyy slim possibility

 

[kactaplb]

sorry dont want to backread but was there a reason why as doesnt accept donations? and as long as ads arent the annoying popup kind, noone should have room to complain for a free service.

 

[Mato]

well than....all I got to say is

''Sometimes it's better to start again than fix things'' if you know what I mean...if you think hard you will know what it has to do with this matter....
