Ad heavy?

[zachary]

Not to complain, but the site seems to be becoming a little "ad-heavy".

Helps pay the bills. Unless you want to chip in a few hundred dollars a month it has to be this way.

premium members dont see the google ads... =)

yea.. the ads definitely pay the forum bills... those tend to be more than my car note on a monthly basis. ouch.

I have no complaints, it takes time and resources to run this forum and you can't expect the forum owner to carry the load Thanks for all you do Abel

what sort of stuff are you guys doing with this site? a few hundred dollars a month is highway robbery for a vbulletin site with a bunch of photos on it.

I can offer you a way better price on hosting if you guys need it. let me know what kind of stats you're pullin' and I'll get a quote together.

well its not just server bills. its software licensing, purchased addon software, paid customizations such as the buy/sell mod intergration, the amazon store intergration, the directory feature, tshirt bulk order etc. things add up quick.

well, i'll leverage this thread, opposed to starting my own.

an ad today. not sure other's thoughts, but just pointing out this may not be appropriate for all people (various ages) and all places (e.g. at work).

[Abel]

[Abel]

just added those to our block list... lemme know if you guys see anything else questionable. Thanks a ton for bringing this to my attention.

may be a combination of "darkroom" and a thread titled, "does anyone know what this is" and heavy conversation about developing chemistry...

i was taken back, but not offended.

not trying to spoil the party...if any mod feels the posted image should be taken down, they should flip their magic wand and make it disappear...
