<center></centeR> <br /> You may have noticed that we have recently been testing advertisements on the <a href=/forums/index.php>forums</a>. We've run all kinds of (sketchy?!) ads, and have decided to try a new method. User Supported ads. <br /><br /> You can now mosey on over to the <a href=cashshop.php?act=items>Cash Shop</a> and buy the billboard item. When you use it, you'll be prompted for a 480x90 image, and a URL to link it to. <br /><br /> Right now, all ads must be approved before they display on the forums. What kind of ads can you run? Ads for your shop, your cult, your friends birthday, maybe just a message to all the forum goers? ;) If it's not allowed, you'll know when it gets rejected. (You'll get your cash shop credits back) <br /><br /> <i>Note</i>: Right now we are trying to keep ads limited to Subeta, or at least Virtual Pet Site content. This is only a test run, and we may allow more content in the future :)

If I could afford it...I would so do up my own ad. And since it can be to an on-site shop, I know what shop. -Evil grin.-

nods Nice plan. Hopefully it opens to more different sorts of advertising soon. hadn't read the note when making banner Oh well. Feces occurs. Once you open it to more types of ads, then I'll be a regular donator of more than

I think this is a great idea. I don't use the cash shop because it would be difficult for me - I'm not 18 and therefore don't have a credit card - but I still think this is a great idea.

I like this idea. I think it will work out really well. And for those who dont like ads... its ONLY on the forums. I think you can go on and live with seeing it just at the top. Its not like its harming the computer. And hey. you never know, you may actually see a ad that will interest you

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by Deleted User

Wicked idea. Being able to make money to support the site without actually selling out.
..You actually figured out a way. Brilliance! xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by Deleted User

Oh wow, I think this is the first time I'd actually want to see ads XD What a neat idea.

I think this is a great idea, a very innovative solution to your current problems. I don't have anything to advertise, but I imagine that there will be a lot of people that do! I hope it works well, and keep the great ideas coming! You guys are on a roll

Haha, totally did not occur to me that we could advertise things like birthdays, cults and user shops. I thought this would only be used for advertising users sites! Gonna have to have adblock switched off all the time now Can't wait to see what you guys come up with

Yes. I haven't worked out how to de-block them either and I'd really like to, just for this site.

Aw, yuck, my comment went through while I was backspacing fixing something. Well, to make it look a bit less stupid: "I think this is a great idea in so many ways. And to the few who aren't sold on it, simple - don't use it."

I am normally not a fan at all of ads on sites like this, altho I do understand they can be a necessary evil, but I totally love this idea. They are isolated in one spot, and user-driven for content. What a unique way to gain necessary cash but involve the users so they aren't too annoyed by it. Does anyone know how to turn off ad blocking in firefox just for one site (is there a way to such a thing?). I'd really like to see the ads and they all blocked.

MuffDaddy I think you missed them point; they're ads! The reason they're on the site is to get money. But now instead on annoying ads for random products, car insurance, and Google, we get Subeta-related ads, or birthday announcments, or silly messages, or whatever we want (to whatever extent). It's pretty much awesome in every way!

I think it's an awesome idea. It's kind of exciting too.

The price is right, and I think it would be fun to have a billboard announcing a friend's birthday.

Alex, they'll be running randomly, along with all the other ads.

And - Yes. That means that it is shown 50,000 times on the forums and then it won't run again after that. (You'll get a notice)

I really, REALLY like this idea. Keep it (advertising) in-house and user supported. I have an idea for one; how hard are they to create? Pic and all, I mean.
