This starts the amazing roulette 'Will I get an ad beneath my post?'
*clicks on an ad for Bulgarian ski resorts*
Meh, this doesn't bother me too much. Having the ads break up the thread doesn't look very nice, but aside from that there's nothing wrong with it. And if it increases revenue, then that's cool.
I find them quite annoying being in the middle, but I guess if it works.
How much money have I just made you? *attaches image*
Note: They are all the same ad, barring the first one. And the chocobo. Take one guess at what that is.
Not a lot.Quote:

They're annoynig, especially now in the beginning, but I think I'll get used to them after a while. After all, I know they're good for the site, so that's fine with me as long as they help.
Wait, are you serrious? :eek:Quote:

They aren't exactly aesthetically pleasing, but they aren't all too much of an inconvenience either.
However, I notice the ads less now than I did when they were at the top, because they aren't in a constant place on the thread. If I've already read all the posts on the top portion of the thread, then I'm not going to see them because I'll just skip to the bottom. Ads on the top AND bottom of a thread seem more practical to me, that way they're sort of a guaranteed see.
Oh hell just click it ^__^
EoFF has given us free FF Music downloads before and has even made an community which consists of FF players around the world...
...so its time to pay them back for the good that they have done and click on the ads!!
*oh yeah BTW where is the music downloads site now? o.o
did they change the site? or is it really removed?*
Yep. It would be a pretty easy way to get money, by getting all your visitors to go click crazy, so they stopped it.Quote:

I've donated to the cause directly, so I feel doubly pained right now. I imagine the increase revenue is being caused by people accidentally clicking on them whilst scrolling down more than anything else. Still capitalism rules all, and we are but the sausages.
Admittedly, I didn't read this whole thread.
Now, here's my big question. BoB said that the placement of these ads were designed to get random browsers to click through, and not regular forum members. However, its very strange that I'm seeing the ads in greater number in forums that unregistered members can't access, and not as often in GC. Is the placement of these ads completely random, or based on number of posts in a thread or anything like that?
Just something I noticed.
As far as I can tell they appear once per page of posts.
You did, but I guess it was deleted for having an ad-blocker link in it XDQuote:
