We're going premium

We are going to experiment with google ads or something and see how it goes.  If anyone has comments on ad placement or it slows down performance or any other issues please let us know.  Let the  :flush: commence!

What prog did you use to build the site?  I have been working in WordPress for a project of mine and they have a widget that can be added to your site that will prioritize content before images/ads.  That way the site content will load before the images/ads bog down the server.  I haven't used it yet, but it sounds like something you may want to look into.  If you didn't use WordPress, your prog may have something similar.

Should help you guys capitalize on the approximate $82/month you are letting slip by right now.

Judging by the average level of discourse on this site I feel that we prolly stand to make the most money on adds for food, porn, and consumer electronics....maybe not in that order.

That explains the hits on the company internet blocking software.

It actually doesn't. Still just something we are talking about. Nothing has been done yet. If the ads slow down the site or interfere in any enjoyment then they will go away. Like fball Casey said, its not a lot of money but should hopefully be something fun to play around/experiment with.

I think there is a way to set it up so just guests see them. Might not be a bad way to start.  :dunno: :dunno:

I like the guest idea, but either way ads aren't really going to ruin anything for me as long as its just a couple.

Another idea we are tossing around is an extra service where you can pay pal me $5 per month to get to read exclusive posts were I decry our grid iron performance and recruiting using particularly vulgar language.  NOTE:  Anyone found sharing my vulgar observations to non-paying members WILL BE BANNED!

Guise, it's not like that.  Look, this is going to be the same old adorable goEMAW....'cept now it's going to pay for the Mods to do blow off of hookers asses on road game pakrs....I'm sure you all understand.

None of this would be happening right now if Kat Kid understood the phrase "fiduciary responsibility."  Obviously you all have noticed the return of Bookie Pimp from the old site....NOT A COINCIDENCE.

The short answer, "Yes."

However, we are already in due diligence with RockyMtnCat, KStateBate (not JR), and Redinsi (aka Sean Snyder)....sooooo, prolly don't get your hopes up.

I was late to the game. I am prepared to handle the consequences.
