While I understand advertising these ads are kinda annoying. _____________________________ 05 Dodge Ram 1500 QC Thunder Road Yeah, It's got a hemi. 03 Dodge Neon SXT Post #: 1

Spam on Df?"... They're really annoying, sorry to complain. But on the other hand it's probably for new Df upgrades... -Matt- _____________________________ BK for teh winz bitches! 84' Mercedes 190D: SOLD 86' Mercedes 190E-16v: Still waiting to get here @ 51k 99' Honda Civic DX:Current DD (in reply to gilitar) Post #: 2

RE: Ads by Google - 2/18/2005 6:56:23 AM    Snafu   Posts: 1639 Joined: 8/4/2004 From: LeRoy, Mi Status: offline I'd pay $35 a year membership to pay for upgrades rather than have these ads where they're at now. Yes, they get noticed under the first post of a page, but it's really annoying. I could see putting them ABOVE the first post of each page. They'd still be highly visible but wouldn't be as annoying. Of course, that's just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinoins... (in reply to ViperGTS) Post #: 3

We pay over $30 per DAY to advertise on Google Ads... and make only about $15 to $20 in revenue back from you guys clicking them (the google ad's). Ralph cannot keep taking the loss so he added an ad under the first post. It doesn't flash or pop up or anything... I don't see why everyone finds it annoying... it doesn't do anything annoying. It's just there. Whether it was above the first post or under the first post, what does it matter...? I know you guys can't deal with change very well... but SOMEONE has to pay for all the goodies we have planned. :):):) Trust me... you won't even notice it after a few days. ~Amanda _____________________________ 'The Lady In Red' 1994 MODIFIED Dodge Ram 1500 Sport Coming Soon!

RE: Ads by Google - 2/18/2005 9:29:21 AM    Snafu   Posts: 1639 Joined: 8/4/2004 From: LeRoy, Mi Status: offline I don't know. It just looks cheap. First thing thru my mind when I saw it was "WTF, they're whoring DF out to Google". Just think it's in a lousy place. Like I'm being forced against my will to look at it. Which I know is kinda the point of having an ad. By the way, I have clicked on a couple of the links off there. I understand the cost and investment involved and why you have to have stuff like that. That's why I'd be happy to pay for a membership if that ever comes about. Like I said, we all know about opinions and a**holes... everyone has them and they all stink.

Not necessarily in leiu of the sponsor or ads, but it would generate some income for the site. Bad thing is that it's certain to cut down membership. Maybe there should be some perks to being a contributor. (in reply to Snafu) Post #: 9

I didn't say your opinions stink... if I got my way, they wouldn't be there... but I also understand it takes money to make money and it takes advertising to grow... thus us advertising on Google and trying to make that money back using Google. :):) Thanks for clicking the ad's everyone... even if you just do it to help DF and not see the ad itself... it ALWAYS helps. Same thing with advertisers banners... even if you don't surf their site... a click from DF helps DF show that advertiser that we do send them traffic... so click all the ad's (Google and Sponsors) you want... it is a great help! Thank you!! :) Don't worry, we know how people feel about a membership program... it's one of a million things we have on the table right now. :) ~Amanda _____________________________ 'The Lady In Red' 1994 MODIFIED Dodge Ram 1500 Sport Coming Soon!

Maybe there should be some perks to being a contributor. Being a Contributor means you are generous enough to give without getting anything back. A membership program would of course have perks for those who paid to join... but again, it takes money to give perks... we are working on it. Believe me. That and a million other little things for you all. ~Amanda _____________________________ 'The Lady In Red' 1994 MODIFIED Dodge Ram 1500 Sport Coming Soon!

RE: Ads by Google - 2/18/2005 9:48:09 AM    Snafu   Posts: 1639 Joined: 8/4/2004 From: LeRoy, Mi Status: offline The membership perks at another forum I used to go to (before the admin became a bunch of power happy schmucks) included a banner next to your name (like the contributor one here), you could have a longer signature, could change your title, just little stuff like that. Don't know if it helps, but some things to consider. By the way, we know you fear change too. And I know you weren't saying my opinion stinks. Was making a humorous point that I know there's tons of opinions out there, and everyone's going to be a little different, and you can't make everyone happy. I'm just throwing suggestions out to try to help. VVVVVVV The mood-o-meter below is getting increasingly better with every minute closer to noon. (in reply to Dodgegirl19) Post #: 12
