That would kill the OT for sure and along with it most of Mark & Dan's ad profits.
I seem to remember one of Dan's state of apolyton articles saying something about gross revenues of something liek $300k per year.
Markos has already refuted this, but it deserves refutation again. $300,000/year revenue? Not so now or in the past.
I do mention the 300,000 number in my article "Four Years and Sixty Eighty Million Hits Passed" dated July 27th, 2002 ( http://apolyton.net/misc/column/212_468.shtml ). Perhaps this is the accurate form of your recollection. The excerpt:
---------[W]hen there was a solitary candle on ACS' birthday cake, we recorded a little over 300,000 unique hits and a little shy of 6,000,000 pageviews over twelve months time

I just started allowing popups at apolyton, and so far really don't have much to complain about, I've only gotten a couple, and they were not distracting at all. I have to admit that I was a bit ignorant about popup blockers hurting the site, and apologize if my use of them has caused any problems...
...truth be known, I have not once clicked on anything in a pop-up ad other than the little X in the right hand corner,
...a few pop-ups will not bother me in the least, since Apolyton is the only site that I currently allow popups from.
JUST DON'T SEND ME ANY DAMNED SPYWARE!!!!!!

Its all very well to keep saying that this is a private site and that a lot of effort goes into maintaining it..blah blah blah...
But, to be frank, there are plenty of other free bbs's out there without pop-ups and with just as lively discussions. If the ads get much worse, people will just go somewhere else.Comment

If you don't follow rules in any club you risk getting thrown out (temporarely?), right?
Thus why wouldn't that apply here? Is it lack of personal contact (which of course makes it a lot easier to be a naughty boy)
IMHO, you get more then slack at it is, not that I mind though.
And btw, I have yet to experience Ming to ban anyone on a whim...
