I would click ads if I was interested in what they were trying to sell.
The number of times I have ever been interested in a google ad: Zero.
Who actually clicks these things?

Who actually clicks these things? | if these ads stay up much longer i think i might develop an interest in a single black woman teaching me biblical hebrew.

I am digging the AwesomeBar. The squished forums on the right look way better that if they were stretched like before. I am just not digging the google ad inside of the first post of the page.

you guys should be making money and putting it into a rainy day fund, IMO. i don't see why the owners should be subsidizing this from their own pocket.

What about VIP memberships? I've seen other forums were members pay a small amount and have access to VIP sections of the forum, larger avatars/custom titles and are excluded from the ad's.

All of a sudden, the left side awesomebar is taking up half of my screen when I'm on RS. Is this happening to everyone else??
I'm on a 22" widescreen

The AwesomeBar is fixed at 160 pixels wide. Unless you are using a ridiculously low resolution (like 800x600 and below) it won't take up a significant amount of space at all.
There is only one more type of ad that will be coming, and after that I will work on further enhancing the RS experience.

The ads are good because it can help generate income for RS. The problem I think is the lay out. I have been on other forums where they have lots of ads and it looks more subtle and less annoying as it flows with the website.
Look at Geoexpert skinny, they have more ads than RS but it's not as bad. Maybe its because the colour scale of RS and the blocks.

If so, that's exactly how I do not want RS to look! People who think there are a lot of ads here should check that place out and be happy with how things are here | |

I personally think the ad placement on Geoexpat is more smooth compared to RS, albiet they have a lot more. And I have actually clicked a few of their ads as it really appealed to me. Not saying testing my IQ against Stephen Harper is not interesting!

When I took 160 pixels away from the thread display (leaving an infinite amount of pixels wide, with a minimum of about 900), everyone was ready to shoot me.
If that is how everyone wants RS to be... well more money for RS I guess  | |

So Chrome works? I had it before, maybe I will give it another shot.
RS was normal yesterday tho.. not sure what you guys tweaked but the awesome bar was aligned nicely on the left.
