So I've seen the same ad here for the past maybe 2-3 weeks and the revenue counter not moving at all. I think it's time to nuke that ad. I'm personally sick of it and I doubt it's getting many hits.

Yeah, but considering the ads are to help fund the board, it would be doing Jul a disservice.

There's no point to nuking it as the revenue is based on the time that the ad is appearing, not the amount of hits it gets.

Clicking or not clicking it makes no difference to how much money we get, in fact, letting it stay is probably better in the long run.

You haven't seen the revenue counter increase because Xkeeper hasn't updated it. It's a manual thing, and people are still paying for the ads.

e: though I admit, that same ad is getting kinda bothersome

Girlydragon, oh, didn't know that.

Anyway, good to see something was done about it, anyway. Nice to get some variety, so I can possibly find products I might be interested in.

The counter hasn't moved because I haven't updated it.

You can see the exact earnings from an ad at any given moment by looking at it; Whatever it shows - 10 cents (or -1 if it's under 10 already) × 0.75 for 24 hours at that price.

The bar should actually be around 50 or so right now.

I unblocked the site to show some support. I never do this.

I figured that after the revenue hadn't been updated for more than a week that it was manual. I don't really care that the ad is the same. I'm surprised that after so much diversity its come to just one ad. At least its still bringing in some revenue.

I noticed the ad briefly changed to "Are You Fat? Take this fun survey to find out!" (because apparently I can't just look down), and then back to Apocalypse Engine. I'm seeing that friggin' ad in my sleep now. With superpowers. And dice.

I find it hilarious that it's still here, to be honest. I got over the "It's still here" being annoying thing loooong ago.

On one hand: Still having a willing-to-pay ad does give revenue, albeit not $20 friggin' dollars like it was before
On other hand: We're not seeing -any- new ads. Are the other people starting to lose interest in advertising on this site?

I haven't really noticed that ad being here for so long. Kinda blended in to background noise.

Uh mission accomplished, I guess?

If nobody else wanted to be here the price would be $0. It's just that AE likes to pay more.

Y'know, this isn't the first time we've had annoyingly persistent ads:



Ah, memories.

(I thought I had a Save Creatures quest zoo edit, too, but I think that ad was actually Flash. Horror!)

Man, I don't care how awesome your site is, if you start running those I'm smacking the Adblock button like there's no tomorrow.
