Title: Ads And Hosting
Post by: cmonkey on November 24, 2003, 07:37:05 pm: As you probably already noticed, there is now advertising on this site. I bought a hosting plan from lunarpages.com (http://www.lunarpages.com) today, and it will be activated by tomarrow. Its perfect timing, because I'm going to run out of bandwidth at my current host in 36-48 hours. If all goes well (and hopefully it does), the Sponge Zone will be back to its normal self by tomarrow evening.

Post by: cmonkey on November 25, 2003, 01:20:23 pm: Well, it's either run ads or shut down the website. I didn't have much of a choice. The ads don't interfere with the page at all. Anyway, it would really help if people would click on the ads...

Post by: cmonkey on November 25, 2003, 01:23:39 pm: Nothing is evil about it. It's taking up space that would normally be blank.

I had it under the poll for about 30 minutes, but it made the page much too long, so I put it in the blank space next to the news icon instead.

He's the one who put all the time into this site, not you. If you don't want the site, leave. If you do want the site, stop complaining. cmonkey is doing the best he can do without all of you complaining about pop-ups. I honestly do not see the big deal about clicking on a little 'X' at the top of a window. Not hard WHATSOEVER. So just LIVE WITH IT.

Hannahbal, I could not have said it better myself. the ads blend in with the site where cmonkey put them. they aren't even popups!
