Out of curiousity, would anyone be explicitly against putting text ads (Google ads) on the IE forum?

I'm mainly interested in finding out if they would actually make any money. About 80% of the forum's visitors are repeat visitors (i.e. Dunemaulers), and I don't know if they would click ads.

But yeah, I'm curious -- for all I know, it might make hundreds of dollars a month, and it seems a bit pointless to waste money that can be easily made.

(We're not talking about Flash/graphical/shiny ads. And if we can find something in-guild to spend the money on, I'm up for that too. Basically, I'm just asking if anyone would find a small box of text ads completely awful.)

I wouldn't mind. They can be filtered out with a browser addon anyway if you dont like them.

The Ciao thing already pays for the site. This would provide a 'profit', I guess. I just have no clue of how much money it would actually make -- it could be $5/month, it could be $50 or more. That's why I'm curious :)

Insanity doesn't run in my family. Rather, it strolls through, taking its time, getting to know everyone personally.

For those of you that are wondering... it seems the ad box is currently making between 0 and 8 pence a day :P
