Today, I shall be mostly adding... adverts

Like the impact, shame about the creative... the 90's is this way etc >>>>

Could we not offer some of these advertisers some forum design services (at a price of course)? Surely there are people on here with skills in this area?

I know, I really want to set a criteria on advert quality.

Hopefully the Red Bull one will be more attractive than the site, and that can set a new standard.

Only a week away... perhaps I should ask for the creative already.

I would ask for it... most agencies will work to a 5-10 working day turnaround from receiving ads to getting them live.

FFFUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....!

Red Bull changed their mind.

Ho hum.

This is why I don't like advertising.

It uglifies your web site, slows things down, and then you feel like you're a bit of a prostitute for putting yourself out there, and ultimately the money it brings in isn't worth all the hassle. For small advertisers the money barely covers the costs, and for big advertisers the effort is too much with too much risk.

When the current advert ends, I'm going to stop doing advertising for a while. It's a distraction that is not needed, I'd rather spend my time on things that are valuable to the people using the site, and I'm not convinced advertising is it.

It was probably due to your earlier comments.

Red Bull is a shit product anyway.

Cocaine is a far healthier alternative.

It was probably due to your earlier comments.

All of them?

Yes. Every comment you've ever made. Anywhere, whether recorded or not.

I guess it was bound to happen.

I think it was the size of the can comment that made them feel insecure.
