Ads reinstated for a month
Posted: Thu Oct 18, 2012 1:11 am
Hello Coders,
Since 2009 we have had ads built into the site displayed below the first post in each topic as seen in the image below and these ads were included in the site to help bring in some extra funds to help with running costs, contests and future development of the site but as I don't like ads and I know most other people don't like them I included an option (via a credit purchase) to disable the ads which is the option most people took.
After looking over our advertising stats it doesn't look like the ads are doing much to help bring in some funding for the site so I think its time I looked for some other way to do this but before I do I want to get some information on the type of ads people are interested in and gather some proper statistics. In order for me to do this effectively I need to re-enable the ads display for all members including those who have opted to remove them and I want to do this for 1 month starting 31st October.
After a month on 30th November I will revert the ads display back to normal and those who opted to disable them will no longer see them.
Would you all be ok with this?
Thanks cooll;
