They aren't pop up ads. They're text ads.

I'm still not seeing anything, so I suppose I'm lucky.

all I see is
These ads help pay for mabination, get rid of them by donating
and I haven't even blocked any ads yet.

For the moment, you shouldn't see them if you've upgraded your account.

The ones after the first post are technically there for everyone now, except those with adblock type of things.

I'm actually seeing both as a mod, and with an upgraded account.
I see you ended up going with one with images. Good job.
I really don't like the placement though. I think it'd be better if their places were swapped. Googles ads after first post and the image one centered up top.
edit: Actually, maybe put the image centered in the green space above the forum tree (e.g., above Home > Forum > Mabination > Mabination News, etc.).

The image one is google as well. I don't trust any other than google.
The placement seems to be doing very well anyways, since last night the estimated earning is 11$, so looks like it shoudl in theory reach 75$ per month and have leftovers for events or something.

If it got $11 in a day, wouldn't it be more like $341 with 31 days in a month, using those figures?
By the way, how much is needed to cover the costs now, and how much would be needed if we ended up having to upgrade to a dedicated server?

Right now it's 75$ per month. I don't know if that 11$ was people clicking it to try and show their support (which they shouldn't do) or genuine stuff. We'll see as the days go by what the performance is like.
If we move to a new server, the one I planned out with another datacenter I know would be just under 400$ first-time fee to pay for hardware upgrades followed by about 130 - 150$ per month.

Awww, some of us can't donate though. :T_T:
But I understand though.

brb disabling AdBlock Plus for Mabination
I dunno when or if I can actually donate, but disabling my adblockers for this site only is the least I can do.

Guess who made them.
Anyway, I don't see any problems with the ads. If I do, I'll make sure to yell @ you.

I don't know if it's been pointed out yet, but the first ad is actually after the first post in each page of a thread.
