[roly]

How come there is a big netfirms ad in free webspace?

Probably becasue they purchased advertising.

there is a hack that will put sponsor images into the catagory - see here http://sitepointforums.com/

 

[Bruce]

That's not really a hack, just a little template coding...

Probably because hosts aren't paying to advertise for a category, just one forum in the categroy.

yeah it is a hack, i seen it at vbulletin.org


it allows you to choose via the acp

Damn that's a huge ad. I was gonna post about it until i saw this thread.

The font should be smaller as well as the image. It makes me avoid FWS forum now.

 

[anhedonia]

That's ENORMOUS! :angry2:

Maybe Peo wanted to FWS to be even more popular (and therefore cost him more money) so he adopted the ways of SitePoint (which is much more popular than FWS).

However, I agree. The ad is annoying, and it should be removed. I bet the users at SitePoint hate those ads too.

hopefully peo doesn't resort to banner ads

 

[Peo]

The ads on Sitepoint is much larger than here. I saw one ad being 143x184 + text. Here we only allow 125x125 + text. WHT also have larger ads than we do. And we currently only have ads in the Paid Hosting forum and the Free Webspace forum.

isolized, our sponsors wish to sponsor specific forums and not categories.

He has had some already You mean you didn't notice???

I don't see the big deal, how many sites do you guys frequent these days that don't have advertising of some kind? Helps to offset the running costs of big sites and this is a big site.

I'm not bothered by it.
