jon Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Ahhh nothing like intelligent conversation... Â If anything I'm surprised that it took longer for someone to say something, some of you guys will bitch about anything. To make a long story short several months ago the ad firm that represents the Army SF contacted us looking to run an ad. He explained why and told me what they were looking to do. After a little hesitation we decided to try it out, and after a month they decided they didn't want to continue with it. Most of you probably didn't even notice it. A few weeks ago I was contacted again saying that they wanted to do it again, but wanted it more visible then before. Porter, Tim, and myself went back and forth on it, and kind of came to the conclusion that the ad they wanted to run was too large and wasn't going to work. In the meantime I had been contacted by a few more outdoor oriented ventures looking for a space similar to what the Army was looking for. We were able to find a compromise and here we are. Compared to most sites advertising ours if fairly benign and will stay that way. Â The bottom line is this. There is stuff we would like to do with this site, both in a development aspect (updated trip reporting system), social aspect (slideshows, parties, making some t-shirts), and an advocacy sense (land preservation donations, climbing grants). All these require money. In a few days this website will be seven years old, and in breaking into the web top 100k the "revenue generating potential" rises to a considerable amount. The new ad spot will help enable us to go in the direction we envision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashw_justin Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I won't bitch about ads until they actively degrade the experience. The blatantly site-ruining ones: - take up screen space on the same scale as content - are intentionally distracting with constant motion and/or sounds - hide actual content - require interaction in order to use the rest of the site - are inlined into the content (like between posts or paragraphs) Â In fact it sounds like we have someone to thank for the continued absence of these.

Adam13 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Way off topic but the only reason the most popular allied machine gun of WWI was created is because someone told the creator that "Europeans love to kill each other," and that he could make alot of money finding a better way for them to do it.
