šŸ”ˆ Site announcement: Things that we think you should know

Yeah, peeps with ad blockers wonā€™t see them.

Also, Iā€™ve just found out that we could make money from them. But only from people that donā€™t run blockers.

Catch 22, and letā€™s be honest here does anyone actually click on ads anywhere?? Apart from accidentally?

Fuck it. Weā€™ll give it a trial.

Installed.

I only click on the dating sites and Penis enlargement ads

TBH Google ads is money for nothing. I used to have it on my website and only viewable if you werenā€™t signed in, which is fair enough. Casual browsers see the ads, those who sign in and contribute to the site content donā€™t see the ads.

The foot-fall on my site was probably 100 visits a day but it still raked in around Ā£60 a quarter which paid for the hosting and more. Nobody would criticise you if you had ads to pay for running costs.

So this entire thread has been to announce to us quietly, that Pap is now on the make from this site and plans weekly Curry Nights in scousehampton.

Can you all shut the fuck up please?

Iā€™m on the blower to a Shanghai supplier, ordering a consignment of Chinese kids to power the Sotonians serverā€™s treadmills.

Google money has made this possible.

The Automatic News thread is being quietly retired in favour of a week by week thing, complete with week dates.

Enjoy.

Excellent news! Iā€™ve just had a look at the new thread. Itā€™s an hour old and Optimus Cunt has made 202 posts on it. Itā€™s much better now that itā€™s manageable.

He wonā€™t normally be that prolific, at least not in that timespan.

I got him to retrospectively pull things from last Friday, just to keep us right.

Announcement: Weā€™ve removed the ability for guest members to vote (up or down). My logic here was that as we are using guest member status as a sort of naughty step, then it doesnā€™t make sense to allow them to have any publicly visible impact. This was especially true of downvoting as downvoting is anonymous.

The only person that this impacts at the moment is Shirty, but heā€™s been invited back anyway so itā€™s his choice to maintain or lose his guest status.

BTW, I have to say that I only suggested this to pap yesterday and it was implemented within hours (along with the new OT and better search). What a second-rate web developer he is!

Evolution not revolution.

Meh.

What Steve Grant knows about web development, I could write on my cock.

And I canā€™t even fit the words ā€œweb developmentā€ on my cock.
