you want to have a civilized conversation about this, I think you had best start off by completely covering the screen in 300 copies of the same animated gif

facts: after keef releases his build of the code, you and jw and the rest of the we-go-out-of-our-way-to-throw-tantrums-at-the-hands-that-feed-us crew can fucking go for it, and play ban-yr-buddies all day long while raking in the dough. I am pretty sure the business model of a whole bulletin board full of jpgs of animals + word art interspersed with one-liner zings and bulk text copied from other people's blogs has never been done before on the internet, and will bring the adsense dollars in such volume I can't even imagine.

jesus you two are fucking 12 year olds (not lfam, obviously)

I also support this notion; it's not that hard to ad block if you are really against it and it'd be a good way to pay for maintenance from this point forward.

but as was informed on the ILX thread about same topic this has "already been discussed months ago" whatever that means.

― Allyzay Eisenschefter (allyzay), Thursday, 2 November 2006 20:05 (eighteen years ago)

It means it was discussed months ago. The problem has never really been the money, it's been getting people to do stuff.

Why not even make an option to turn off ad display in preferences (another incentive to login!)

months ago we weren't in such a pickle with hosting, so I don't understand that either.
I would like to see this brought up again w/ Norman et al. but this thread is just going to turn into a shitfestival as soon as a UK poster disagrees with an all noise dude

or... it will turn into people making meta-predictions.
