Owner Real Deal Posted September 18, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 You'll see ads in the sidebar pretty soon. No pop-ups, ever (those were the ads I absolutely hate and will never put up), and no highlighted/underlined ad links in the post (can't stand that, either). I know you guys were asking about donations, but I can't take money from you. I won't accept it. You shouldn't have to pay to talk basketball, so you won't. If the ads do help pay for the hosting and software updates, and there's money left over, it will go to prizes for games we have in the future. Could help draw interest when we do hold contests and such. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 I don't mind sidebar ads as long as it is helping to keep the site up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Tbh I'm surprised you didn't do it a while ago. It's a good idea as long as they aren't too distracting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenneral Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 I won't mind it at all. Anything to keep the site going another season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted September 19, 2010 Author Owner Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Those ads actually get you a good amount of money?Probably not, haha...just going to mess around and see what comes out of them. And by the way, guys, the site will stay up no matter what. The ads will just help with hosting and the updates. I don't have any plans on selling the site, merging with anyone else, or shutting it down...never. I'd just rather do this, than accept donations. Just not my thing...and to be honest, I would actually take these sidebar ads down if most of you thought they were too much of a distraction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted September 19, 2010 Author Owner Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 They should also be appearing in the footers. I have options for headers, in posts, footers and sidebar. Putting them in posts and in headers is not an option, at least not for me. I would hate that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 That is a great idea. They are barely noticeable, so if they are helping out, awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lkr Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Are the ads the ones that are adaptive to the content? So if there is a funny thread about prostitutes(bearfan, smh) then there will be advertisements for prostitutes at the bottom? if so, that'd be awesome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
