Remove all advertising for registered members, srsly.

It's cutting into traffic substantially.

The Dude · 07-19-2007, 10:06 PM

You heard him Ralph. I use firefox and so far it hasn't bothered me. maybe we should advertise to use firefox when logging onto here since it blocks the ads.

XxVivixX · 07-19-2007, 10:09 PM

The only ad that really bothers me is that LG ad that takes up the whole page. And yes, it is really becoming annoying to having to find ways to go to the page I want and trying to avoid that ad.

Exodus · 07-19-2007, 10:12 PM

I use Firefox, and every once in a while one little tribal fusion pop up comes through on this site.

And I just hate the adverts on here, never liked them. If they're really necessary, can they please be moved somewhere to member convenience? Like the annoying one at the top, move the to the bottom. I don't enjoy seeing Britney's bald ass every time I load a page.

Lady Rinoa · 07-19-2007, 10:13 PM

Ya, that LG add is frikkin annoying as hell >_>

I thought it was gone at one point for at least the registered members, so wtf happen? >.<

The Dude · 07-19-2007, 10:28 PM

I agree with the LG ad. I've had to go on IE a few times and when I use IE on here, nearly every two clicks I make, it goes to that freakin' ad. It disrupts the posting, and deters new members.

Ex Deo · 07-19-2007, 10:32 PM

I support this.

Exodus · 07-19-2007, 10:34 PM

Troof. If the member uses IE and gets popups, what will motivate them to stay here? Most people won't even bother with sites that have these kinds of ads.

Of course, Ralph needs monniez, he should at least have the ads so they they're convenient for members and don't detract posting and traffic.

Akira Avelon · 07-19-2007, 10:44 PM

and the fact that most of the adverts I've seen wouldn't interest me in the least... At least get some adverts that actually interest the community.. or they're just dead weight...

Luna Lovegood · 07-20-2007, 06:45 AM

I agree wholeheartedly, a few well placed ads, that aren't in your face constantly is all well and good, but having popups and badly placed banners and **** like that just annoys people to the point of leaving, and there's not much point having any ads on a site if no-one's gonna be there to click them

Jak · 07-20-2007, 08:48 AM

Leave the banners, cut the popups.

King Hydro · 07-20-2007, 09:22 AM

Yea i never used to get popups, however yesterday, for the 1st time, i got a tribalfusion popup. I thought the world was about to end but then i realised its just Ralph finding other and easier means to get money out of FFE.

At least the previous owner had some input...

Back on topic: Who actually clicks any of the ads?

YES, I ****ing hate that one!

@Hydro: Not me. Do I seem like I want to buy into some horribly retarded plan to get a free iPod when there's a catch saying I have to buy like, abuhmillion things to get it for free first?

Daryl Falchion · 07-23-2007, 10:02 AM

As said: remove the popups and keep the banners. You'll keep the flow of traffic and the flow of cash. Simple as that.

Akira Avelon · 07-23-2007, 01:31 PM

I'm getting the tribal fusion one constantly now.. It's really starting to piss me off.. get rid of it. I left two other sites because of them... I don't want to leave here.. they piss me off to no end(since it's now every time I see the main forum page... Slowing my load time more than it already is). keep the other ones.. Get rid of the pop up!!! BTW. I use Firefox.

The Dude · 07-23-2007, 01:53 PM

Same here. Even on Firefox and it's really annoying. DAMNIT RALPH WE SAID REMOVE THE POP UPS AND THE ADS!

Akira Avelon · 07-23-2007, 02:01 PM

not to mention they might be causing the problems on how the site doesn't show up for mins at a time and all you get is a white screen.. It just happened today and FFE was down for 12 mins.. Definitely a turn off to new members.... from 10:39 to 10:31 my time.... It's 11 am right now....

WackaWacka · 07-23-2007, 02:23 PM

But we shouldn't have to open it in a special way.

Derek · 07-23-2007, 03:10 PM

We shouldn't even have to suffer like this.
