Ads on the forum, new thread to avoid necro
I don't know if this is the place to mention this, but since we are discussing [REMOVED], I thought I'd ask if any thought has been given to monetizing the forum. I wouldn't be put out by a banner ad on or two here, and based on page loads and the like, I spend way more time poking around on here than I do on the actual Goblins page. I know the forum is somewhat separate from the main site, so there may be some difficulties in implementing it, but has this been discussed?

The idea was floated a while back, but didn't get much traction, as I recall.

I too would have no issue with a Google ad bar in here.

I three. I'd be fine with a few (non-sound, ugh) ad banners around for THunt's sake, and it's true the forums get a lot more visits day by day than the Goblins home page.

DEFINITELY not with sound. Personally, I visit the forum probably between 10-20 times a day, and each time, I'm loading up at least a few pages between reading and posting. I visit the goblins main site probably closer to 3-5 times a day (that's averaged out... peaks on days that Thunt is posting and I check a lot more). Way more eyeballs on ads here...Gryphonic wrote:I three.

I'd like to point out that this discussion, while interesting and potentially helpful, is entirely off topic here. Also, not many people read this subforum. It's a highly self-selected subgroup of the larger boards, not a representative sample.

True. As I said when I brought it up, this thread may not be the best place for it, but since it relates to [removed], I figured I'd mention it here since the people reading this thread are among those most interested in [removed]. I figured if it warranted it, a mod would move it elsewhere.

Me neither.
Especially google-ads would be nice, as they are text-based, and as such have low loading times.
I know that Moose is busy, he always wanted to implement a link from the forum top bar to the comic.
Currently, there isn't even a forum-generated link back to the comic. Only post-related links.
This takes time and effort to implement, and we would need THunt's approval to implement google-ads here, as he would have to run it on his account.
And I don't know about his contracts with Hiveworks. Can he even sell Google-ads?
Does Hiveworks sell text-based ads?
A non-animated image would be fine too.
