So the site can sustain itself I decided to sign up for some advertising. The placement of the ads aren't decided yet but will probably the typical stuff you see on forums: after first post, side of the page, bellow the banner and bottom of the page. There's also the possibility of those annoying text ads that change words in the content to become links related to the word.
There's no official date yet for it to kick in, need to sign up with advertisers first.

I see.
Ads make me sadface, but I can understand why a site would need them. GO FORTH, BRAVE OSAYIDAN!

As long as the ads aren't intrusive, should be ok.

No talking or popup adds please. ^^
There have been some cases in which some forums redirect me automatically to a page as soon as I hit "reply". x_X
Also be wary of those sneaky porno ads.

Bottom of page is probably okay, right?

Won't really affect me as I use an ad-blocker, but I'll try and remember to click on them.

I've always expected ads to appear on nation at some point. The fact that Osay ran the site ad free and out of pocket for so long is commendable

Sneaky Porno ads....
With my job I see porno ads all the time. No escaping it. That's another story.
Selling Ad Space is always a guaranteed way to make money to upload the costs of running a website. As much as I don't like ads, they're usefulness to site owners can't be denied. If it helps keep Mabination running, then so be it.

You gave it out too early. Most users are still at school!
