Just a thought, but another messageboard that I use has started running Google Ads.

I believe there are google ads on the bottom of the page of the messageboard.

You know, I wouldn't have seen them without you mentioning it, and I visit this site since years Most of the time I cringe whenever I see Google ads in the middle of a thread in a messageboard. But here they are in a very nice location. At the very bottom where no one sees them

Heh - yeah, I'll probably get rid of 'em. All the way down there they don't exactly pay out anything noticeable, and I don't want them anywhere *more* visible.

Can you place them somewhere more visible, but only on the 'reply to post' pages, rather than every page? That way, they're not obtrusive for someone reading, and you only need to see them when you're posting.

I assume not much $ is brought in just by displaying the google ads. People need to click through and buy stuff from them to make it worth it I would think.

Personally, I don't find Google ads to be annoying at all, as long as they're not smack in the middle of what I'm reading. If they were on the side or top I wouldn't mind. I'd much rather have Google ads than any other kind because they're not flashy, distracting, and don't leave the designated "advertisement" area like some high-tech ones I've seen. Those last are especially annoying because you can often go to click on a link and end up accidentally clicking on the ad because it basically moved under your mouse as you went to click.

I hate the way they do Google ads on Proboards, though, where they put it in BETWEEN replies in a thread. That's just cruel and ugly looking.

Sorry if this was posted already I only have a minute or two. First when my money situation changes I will gladly help out this is the best rpg site on the web and almost a second home. Second, and to the point how about a cafepress store, its free to set up and with all the great artists and Enworld brand products I think it would sell. Plus its even more advertisement for the site when people wear t-shirts with the name on it.
