We have the opportunity to add advertising which would pop a window UNDER the main browser, ONE time per day.

How do you guys feel about this? Would you be OK with it? Or is even one ad per day too intrusive?

[hchang]

Personally, I think it'll be a little intrusive.

But if by having that one ad will generate a reasonable amount of revenue for Revscene to keep it free, I'm sure the majority of us wouldn't mind an extra ad, especially if it's actually just ONCE a day.

[k3mps]

just once a day?
personally i don't care. takes a second to close the ad.

If it keeps Revscene in business and pays for !SG's golden toilet I'm all for it.

[TOS'd]

No to pop up ads, please.

Like that time i minimized my window when someone came into my room, only to expose a live cam site pop up ad i didnt know was open. :troll: :alone:

[PiuYi]

hamsters been running pretty well lately, is there any reason we need the extra revenue?

[Hondaracer]

As long as it doesn't have noise/video as a part of it

[SkinnyPupp]

There wouldn't be sounds, and there wouldn't be adult ads.

[EmperorIS]

will the ad upgrade the food at the meets from hotdogs to hamburgers?

if so, yes

[Gilgamesh]

It should be fine only if the ad does not contain sound.

[Culverin]

I get text ads like google and whatever is in the awesome bar.
I browse with multiple revscene threads using multiple tabs.

I've got tons of screen real-estate (24" monitor).
I'd rather give up some forum browsing space (let's say both a strip on the right and left) rather than have to deal with pop-ups or unders.

I never really considered this, but I use Ad-block plus, how does that choice affect the RS income?

[SkinnyPupp]

It would be great if everyone disabled adblock for this site :)

[flagella]

No

[Slifer]

Set up a poll.. majority wins
I don't mind it if its only once per day.

[CorneringArtist]

I don't mind once a day either if it helps alleviate server costs. +1 on the no sound ads as well, those ones are really annoying.

[Bonka]

Go for it.

[Mining]

I always have adblock on and if it blocks it, then I'm fine with it, but if not.... NO PLEASE NO but guess ill have to live with it

[Lowered_Klass]

If it keeps the site free, I'm ok with it...

...but then I'd also be willing to pay if it meant getting rid of ALL the ads

:thumbsup:

[AlphaKappa]

as long as it doesn't have sound and it's not porn, and once a day then it's aight

[cliffhanger33]

I'm pretty happy with the cleanliness of rev atm, but if it's gna keep Rev running, I'm totally down =)

[drunkrussian]

just dont think it would generate money? i say try it for 90 days and see if its worth it

[unit]

adblocker plus. couldnt care less

[vafanculo]

why even ask? if people get bothered to a once per day ad in order to help their free online addiction generate some revenue, they don't deserve anything.

[noTirl]

meh if its just one a day why not

[insomniac]

definitely not against it.
for the daily hilarity RS ensures me, having pop up ads isnt a big price to pay!

[SpuGen]

As long as you dont add those stupid ads that load over every picture.

[MWR34]

I would rather pay you $5 and never see a banner or pop up again. I never click on them, nor find any of them relevant to things i purchase online.


If just 1000 users paid $5 each, how long would that keep your costs at bay?

[CP.AR]

as long as it isn't those annoying ones with the fake close buttons, and as long as they are appropriate i'm all for it

[Alby]

im cool with it as long as it generates revenue for RS and helps !SG out.

[Shorn]

am i the only one who WANTS the adult ads? :fullofwin:

getting 1000 users to pay $5 each would be like pulling teeth..

[unit]

^getting 50 to donate would be difficult

[Mining]

Why did I get failed for my post lol thought you were asking us for our opinions

EDIT: Back OT, if it helps keep this site up and running for free then I say go for it. I personally don't like ad's of any kind but then again who does... but it probably shouldn't affect me anyways.

[hotjoint]

Do it up

[bloodmack]

i dont mind, i have pop up blocker on most of the time.. :P

[Cman333]

I don't think getting 50 people would be hard. I'm sure there's alot of 10+ year RS veterens on here that would do it. I would. RS isn't just a forum, its basically almost like a community now more than just a car forum.

Personally I hate pop ups. Mainly because I work from many different comps, and animated banners slow down the comp. My main comp is ok, but the other 3 are old.

[Mercy]

I'm down. Long live revscene freedom!

[Sandman]

Do it. Takes 5 seconds to close a pop-up, I can't believe people are actually complaining about such a small issue. Bet you it's going to be pokerstars.net or something haha.

I'd donate too, but I think us veterans are in the minority... Nowadays, a vast majority of users are probably students and they're not used to paying for websites!

[TheKingdom2000]

There is no harm in having an incentive to donate to RS.
Make special donation tags.

At badger and blade they have it.
http://www.badgerandblade.com/index.php?page=support

Something like this may be a good idea. I'm not sure about a yearly fee, but paying once in a while shouldn't be too bad.

[orange7]

What kind of pop ads are we talking about?

is it one of those fake msn pop up of a slut saying she is bord?

[murd0c]

Just do it, people always bitch at first then a month later you won't hear a thing.

[RRxtar]

Another site i frequent has a 'roll mouse over to pop up ad' thing that somehow I always accidentally roll over and the mother fucker has an impossible to find 'close' button. and if you click on the pop up it opens a new website. so i end up opening up 3 more wbsites until my internet crashes. closing that shit down is harder than punching out god.

[orange7]

I don't mind having a pop up ad as long as it:

i) has a really really really visible close button
ii) doesn't randomly pop up once per day when i'm fapping in the news forum

[Not really racist!]

all those qqing must think it costs pennies to run RS... it isn't cheap you know.. im all for it.

[Culture_Vulture]

Not against it. Personally I'm for anything that keeps RS running smoothly; and one ad per day isn't particularly pushing it.
Just as long as it doesn't pop up every time I check the forums, it's all gravy.

[K.Dubz]

What about other revenue avenues like t-shirts, stickers, lanards etc.... I wouldn't mind paying $5 for a sticker. I believe NASIOC has an estore

We sell them at the meets. Maybe 5 people buy shirts. And once people find out you have to pay for stickers they're like "...oh. Nevermind then, man."

Lanyards are pretty much the only things that sell.


I'm all for the ads, but I'd prefer not to have the explosm-style pop-under "zomg look at all this crazy stuff that's totally findable elsewhere on the internet and requires four clickthroughs for total bullshit" ads.

[Ronin]

Only if the money goes toward the already lavish moderator benefits package and we can laugh at all the commoners as we drive by in our Phantoms and wear top hats.

And they must be top hats. None of that bowler bullshit.

[dark0821]

one per day is fine.. i am all for it to keep RS free hehe

[death_blossom]

hamsters been running pretty well lately, is there any reason we need the extra revenue?

this question has not been answered yet. I would like to know the answer to this question as well.


pays for !SG's golden toilet I'm all for it.this. haha.

but seriously, having a donate button is a great idea. as others have offered, I would donate as well.

[Mercy]

Perks for donating would make it more worth while.

Ie the vnboards you can do stuff like change the colour of your name and put a boarder around it or fill it with a colour. Little stuff like that would be fun.

I've been wanting to buy rs merchandise for over 3 years now, but I don't want to expose myself. :lol:


also, can we actually have some interesting ads? I don't mind the one per day pop-up ads or any sort of minor ads if they are actually interesting.

we need better porno ads in the nws forum, and get some actual ads in the other forums.

Is it possible to get some groupon ads or golow deal ads? Maybe ads when synthetic oil is on a super sale at Canadian tire?

currently, I see a cooking ads, but the majority of us aren't females...

[SkinnyPupp]

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I'll take it into consideration when deciding what to do with ads in the future.
