    What's up with the Ads?

    Why is there an Ad for non-fishing companies, mostly web hosting, etc. below the first post on each thread topic?

    Didn't see any others. That's a shame. I was a fan of how this board kept it free and clean.

    We'll be reducing the size of the ads and the jury's still out if I keep them. We get over 10 million page views per month and the ads should produce a lot of revenue and we've not
    increased our advertising rates to our sponsors for 14 years.
    Just started them midway through yesterday and the numbers aren't there so we'll see if they stay or not.

    I have no problem looking past them ... it's a pop-up world with ads and banners everywhere.

    I have no problem with ads long as they don’t impede the flow of viewing post. I pay $10/year to access The Hull Truth ad free and would do the same here.

    Al, I don't even read them just delete. I also would not object to an annual fee as long as it is less than $10,000.00 a year

    The stewardesses on the BBC jet need new uniforms. They’re being fashioned after some of the ones that Dan’s barmaids wear.

    Ok

    Pardon my ignorance on the subject but how does an add generate revenue?

    When a member clicks on the adds?

    I don't understand what you mean. First of all there are no popups, the ads are only after the first post in a thread (and 2 vertical ads below the Side banner ads). There's no ad when you click on photo(s) that someone has posted.

    There's only one per thread, only after the first post. Some seem to have a problem with it though.
