This site is so damn useful, I'd hate to see it fall victim to it's own success. If there were to be ads on the lefthand side under Affiliates (google ads) I'd click them.

So, are you saying I should?

Heh heh.

Hmm. I have google ads on another site, now that you mention.

Erhm, i really hate Ads, makes a website look really bad, it ruins the layout completley, thats why i block EVERY Ad i see with adblocker

Ads should go back to where they came from -> the dust bin :roll:

Ads aren't that intrusive whatsoever, especially google ads which can be changed to fit a layout. When you have such a large, supposrtive community, it'd be foolish not to. Besides, most people ignore things under "Affiliates" anyway unless it's soemthing they recognize (i.e. google ads)

I say why not, the worse thing that can happen is that a large percentage of the population won't like them, at which point you can choose to remove them, and you'll have made a few dollars, if not more.

They ruin the layout and make people angry

One reason i quit using hotmail for my mail was because of a little Ad signature under each email i sent, and the inbox has 2 Ads which makes reading my mail really.... weird o_O

It would support the owner of the forum ( Ryoko ) And help him with his monthly fee..

imo if he added them I wouldnt mind them, as long they stayed in the left buttom... And not on the whole site..

( You would earn a lot with that Ryoko xD )

I have google ads on another site.

Heres the problem.

Its a warcraft site.

99% of the ads google gives me are gold buying ads.

Add them ALL to the filter (hundreds) and theres nothing left for google ads to list.

Seriously, I think you would see the same here.

Also, "silkroad" doesnt generate very good google ads.

If you look around "silkroad" sites that have google ads, they have nothing to do with the game. More or less silkroad in china, silk products, and so forth.

And you're under the assumption that people actually click google ads for a site they love because they want to see the product, why?
