        Me thinks (and hopes) Mark is trying for more yea's on the board.
        Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

          They ARE less obnoxious compared to popups. At least one can still see the page. This is the Angelfire Alternative, I suppose.

          • What is the rate of posts with ads? Will it eventually grow to every single one?

              • I will not let Markos rest until I can have posts where every single word is sold out and linked to advertising.

                Or alternatively, in every other post my name could be changed to 'HOTELS 50% OFF AT PRICELINE.COM' or 'ALL-NATURAL PILLS WILL ADD 3 INCHES GAURANTEED!' or such.

                • there are actually already new technologies that allow that. in fact, one of the ad networks we're using has started implementing it on select sites.

                  • I wouldn't consider the OT a "select site".
                    I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                        • Google ads in OTF threads are awful. Rather honestly, I'd rather have three popups per a day of browsing. And yes, my ad blocker allows popups from Apolyton.

                            • $30 a year looks like the popular figure, but I wouldn't mind twice that much. More than that even if necessary to keep OT posts from counting.

                              This is the only site I frequent that has pop-ups, so I never bothered looking for a blocker before. Next time that Dungeon Siege sword gets jammed in my processor, I might change my mind...
