We is getting ads

This is an archive of the mabination.com forums which were active from 2010 to 2018. You can not register, post or otherwise interact with the site other than browsing the content for historical purposes. The content is provided as-is, from the moment of the last backup taken of the database in 2019. Image and video embeds are disabled on purpose and represented textually since most of those links are dead.

Decided to finally put them in the event that we ever do need to upgrade to a dedicated server.

It will be Google adsense only, probably one of the most respectable ad networks out there. They don't have annoying ads or popups, and I can block ads I don't want to have here.

There will be 2 ad locations, first one will be after the first post in each thread, that seems to be the most popular and successful location for forums.

Second will be near the top of the page, a single line of plain text link ads, located there:

Later on I'll also test out a donation method that lets you get rid of ads and gives other benefits, and I'll probably make it so upgraded accounts don't see the ad at the top.

I'll try to get the ads working today, if you ever notice inappropriate ads let me know so I can kick them out.

I'm gonna miss this site without ads...but then again, I have AdBlock installed on my Google Chrome anyway.

I'll be sure to white list the ads on AdBlock.

Ew.
While I hate that we're going to have ads, whatever, I understand we're needing them.

Wasn't lack of ads one of the benefits of switching from guru to nation?

Meh, doesn't matter to me. ABP ftw :D.

Well, the ones we have are going to be rather moderate compared to other Forums in general. And it's required to help keep the Nation up and running, so.. I think it's a fair deal.

Well, it's better than nothing to keep the site running.

Thanks for the heads up on it.
