Wtf, banner in thread listings?

[orangeman]

Lol, well I took a screenie of what seems to be a ad banner in the thread listings..I refreshed my page just to make sure it wasnt a mistake and it's still there. What the hell?

[orangeman]

I also tried to do a search and it gave me the "search.php"...the script that runs the damn search lol. What the hell is going on?

[cannabis campbell]

Lmao wtf!

[JR77]

I dunno...I tried to do a search and everything seems normal!

Have you been smoking this morning?! :)

[420mory]

cann.com needs some brand new system modifications

[psychocat]

Free sites rely on advertisers.

[Skink]

Your not tripping OJ,the ads are now in the way... bad move IMO,it's there for dumb clicks,,, just like popups...

[orangeman]

I dunno...I tried to do a search and everything seems normal!

[cannabis campbell]

Thanks man :)

[orangeman]

Thanks man :)

Lol nice mood. And np :thumbsup:.

[DragonForce1]

Im guessing people are getting desprate for adspace. Lol.

[slowthestone]

The ads inserted in the thread order...bleh.

But...okay :rolleyes:

[Tom Swierzbinski]

As long as cann.com doesnt start getting popups, then its fine with me.

[dopesmoker]

I'm sure popups wont be far behind

[thcbongman]

This is not to say they don't belong, I understand the need.

However, it looks tacky. It needs to be better assimilated.

[yabatab]

BUY! BUY! BUY! BUY! BUY! BUY! shittttttttttttt!!!!!!! LOL

[dopesmoker]

yeah its pretty ridiculous in my opinion. Keep them to the top and bottom. Hell i dont even care if its along the sides, but dont put them smack in the middle of the threads.

[orangeman]

I'm sure popups wont be far behind

I have pop-up blocker :dance:.

[cannabis campbell]

Yeah thats why firefox is the best :D

[cannabis campbell]

Also i notice you use habbo hotel orangeman lol :D

[orangeman]

Eh...:o

[Up In Smoke 420]

Dont we have enough ads? Why do we need all these, and in such an awful place to.

[Up In Smoke 420]

Yeah making me thing about joining some other place if things keep up the way they have been the past couple months...

[yabatab]

Come on buy shit you don't need. Look they gave us flags
and mood thing-uh-ma-bobs to keep us happy, does the
flag and mood thing-uh-ma-bobs not divert your attention
away from those BIG 4 inch adds in the middle of the forum
list? Be a sport and buy a cell phone ringtone already.

[cannabis campbell]

Lol now i notice you edited it out even though it still says it on the bottom one :D

[BobBong]

well.. you guys realize that things happen (weird things) when changes are made.

Has it stayed this way for you? apparently a few people experienced a few hiccups today.

I love how you guys are so quick to freakout and just up and leave though..

if the power goes out at your place twice in one day does that mean you move out?

[Up In Smoke 420]

haha out of all the places to put them they go there.

[BobBong]

p.s. i haven't noticed this at all today.. the banners have been where they have been in the past.

[cannabis campbell]

ORANGEMAN WTF!!! i saved your screenshot before you edited it all out LOOK WHAT I NOTICED!!! OMFG I KNEW IT ALL ALONG!!!!!!

[yabatab]

Lol, well I took a screenie of what seems to be a ad banner in the thread listings..I refreshed my page just to make sure it wasnt a mistake and it's still there. What the hell?

Come on orangeman you know you wanna buy some of that
compressed tree bark. Or maybe a ringtone for your cell phone
jesus man look they gave us flags and mood thing-uh-ma-bobs
to divert our attention away from those adds so be a sport and
buy some shit....LOL

[az666]

IS everyone getting this??

completly out of curiosity :)

[orangeman]

BobBong theres no need to cover up for your fellow friends at Cannabis.com. Everyone else sees these ads and we know you do too! Dont deny the fact!!! :D

[Its a Plant]

Yes, I am getting it. Whoever says they aren't is smoking some PCP.

[cannabis campbell]

How about moving all the ads to the bottom of the page?

Sorry I should have guessed there would have been somthing in "feed back..."

Sorry for the double thread

I guess you were as shocked as I was Orangeman
haha

Sexy................ :(

[yabatab]

Well, since a lot of adds are posted on sites based on traffic on the site
maybe the members here should be respected and herd rather than
discredited and told basically if you don't like it well tough shit.

[BobBong]

hmmm... interesting... im curious if any cafe members see this "new" ad.

Because i certainly don't.

[Up In Smoke 420]

BobBong do you see any ads? Even the old ones?

[yabatab]

It exist Bob trust me we are not mass hallucinating. Us poor slobs
that are free members see them anyways.

[BobBong]

Ah yes.. but i was cafe member back in October :)

I see the ads at the top and the bottom, but notice no add between threads or in the middle of the forum.

[Up In Smoke 420]

Okay thanks for answering my question.

[FunkyMonkey]

I understand the need to generate income with commercial links since most of us use this site without paying but come on....
These banners are not even remotely cannabis related. They are tacky links to "meet hot women'" "cheat at poker" etc.
Not a move in the right direction in my opinion.



peace.

I agree the least the site can do is make the stupid ads cannabis related.

[LIP]

too true, its a VERY bad move.... it looks crap and its annoying.

[iwantFUEGO]

LOL get over it.

[BobBong]

users are talking about ads in the threads, this is normal and is a new change, it is a new ad spot that we have opened up for some new potential advertisers including the possibility of exclusive forum sponsorship
Cafe members and mods will not see these ads
advertisers pay us so it may not look pretty for free users, but what can be done, we have tweaked it and will continually tweak it so as things to minimize annoyance, this is all part of our new systems we are testing out.

as i suspected, it appears this change is here to stay...we understand it doesn't look pretty, but all the more reason to become a cafe member.

Bob.

[cannabis campbell]

I would love to become a cafe member but i cant be bothered to go to the bank and change my money from £ to $ thats all

There should be more ways that people can pay online such as debit card or splash card trust me you would get a lot more people signing up! :thumbsup:!

[Up In Smoke 420]

Is anyone getting ads between posts in threads? Because I sure am. The ads are everywhere. :mad:

[Up In Smoke 420]

There making this site take alot longer to load on my already slow computer.

[Up In Smoke 420]

Sundance how about you tell us whatsup? Why are there even more ads in even MORE annoying places? This site now takes at least 10 seconds to load up. This shit is getting on my nerves. Everything else is fine here. I enjoy the members and how great/fair the mods are, but come on. By the way Cannabis.com if you have firefox download 'adblock' and you can block some of these shitty ads. To bad it's only the picture ones but It helps load a lil faster for me and maybe it will help you out to.

Does Sundance even post here? Because I've never seen him? post. Dont even know if the owner of this site is a guy or girl.

Shit was way better back when Ron owned this place...:mad:

[cannabis campbell]

Lmao i noticed that its kinda funny they're EVERYWHERE NOW!

on the list of threads at the top bottom and middle even when you open up a thread there would be more in between peoples post's but im not complaining.

Im just saying thats all, i know you dont get these if your a paying member but maybe it would be a good idea if you come up with more ideas so that people can pay for a membership online such as a debit card, credit card, splash plastic card?

You still get the money dont you?

A lot more people would get it because its a lot easier, people just cant be bothered to go to the bank or post office to change their money from GBP (great british pound) so USD (us dollar).

[Up In Smoke 420]

Hahahah we have to pay to not see ads? This sites all about money now...

[cannabis campbell]

Everythings about money, its what makes the world go round $$$

[Up In Smoke 420]

Yeah that's true but this site never used to be about money. Another new ad at the bottom of the reply page...wtf

[sundance.]

the server bill must be paid somehow

[Up In Smoke 420]

Yeah but it never used to be like that. Plus why did you have to put the ads in the middle of threads and posts. This wouldnt be a problem if you just moved them to the bottom of the page...

[BobBong]

the server bill must be paid somehow

to true.


Yeah that's true but this site never used to be about money
i love how this site was never about money when I recall Ron putting it up on ebay for more than 1 million USD a good year before it was actually sold to the new owners...

but surely you knew that...being such a long standing member and all.

Bob.

[sundance.]

server costs arent as they used to and more spaces equals more ads, and advertisers support us

[Up In Smoke 420]

but surely you knew that...being such a long standing member and all.

Bob.[/quote]

Yeah but he sold the site and I sure as hell would of done the same thing. But him selling the site didnt affect anything here until now.

Okay Sundance I understand the server bill has gone up but cant you move the ads to the bottom.

[cannabis campbell]

until now? because things change when ownership is exchanged, you do understand that ? These "changes" are a direct result of ownership change.

perhaps it would be best to wait and see what the near future holds ..after these changes are complete..

You guys are critiquing the painting before the artist has even begun to finish it.

[Up In Smoke 420]

No but that's what It was sold for. I believe Ron bought this domain a long time ago so It wasnt worth as much then. Sure Cannabis.com is going to sell for alot just look at the url.

I know but it's pretty annoying having to wait so long just for a page to load. I cant afford to be a Cafe Member either so I dont have much choice.

[BobBong]

That's what he had it up for auction.. the thread is still around here if you search for "cannabis.com is up for sale"

[cannabis campbell]

Thats a fuck load of money Rons a millionaire!

Lol i didnt think it would cost that much maybe a few hundred or a few grand

Why would it cost so much, not like you could make your money back from it??

Yeah to be honest he can do whatever he wants with the website we thought the whole forum was going to be deleted but it wasn't

[Genuine17]

im getting adds in the middle of threads inbetween posts

[slipknotpsycho]

i will comment on this and voice my opinion... i think the ads thing is getting outrageous.... i mean c'mon it was at the bottom and the top of every page to begin with, you feel it's really nessicary to put it in the middle too... i can tollerate the changes, everything so far i have seen to be just fine, but damnit you're taking it out of hand. i dont' care who's paying the bills, make this site pay only site for all i care, you're taking a great forum and turning it into a giant ad, and its' quite upsetting actually.. now i'm just waiting for the constant pop ups, page to 'skip this ad' and what not... come on sundance... this is definately not a move for the better, any half witted pot head knows that legal shit is... well... shit... therefore the only ones that are going to respond to the ad will be the unknowing ones, the noobs if you will, do you really want to be 'held accountable' for taking the noob's money on false pretenses?

[sundance.]

we know your concerns, however, its either have these ads or have no site whatsoever, cafe members currently get no ads in the middle, and we have done our best to limit its intrusiveness. furthmore, ad impressions are an important factor which is why its necessary to be where they are - such as the middle.
thus all FREE users incl. guests
will and must endure more ads
like television

lol but if you have rabbit ears/cable you get the same .. however id idnt' know abou the ads part lessened for cafe members, how much is membership anywas and is it anually or bianually or what? :confused:
i is kinda drunk btw.

[sundance.]

haha :) cafe membership is currently on freeze at the moment as we hope to rework it for later in the year, we really do not know how it will be, but we will restart things later, since we still have the gallery and other stuff to work on at the moment

we hate ads just as much as anyone, but this is the way the barrel rolls for now, and who knows, there may be months and time periods that the ads will not be used in those areas.

Courtosy of you actually sundance. All i did was simply try out what it is you've given us.
It's a great new feature and is going to make things grreat around here when it comes to posting your own media. We'll be able to make " how to " videos and share them without having to actually load them onto the website server.

Cannabis.com now has an embeded media player so that you will be able to share media within the forum posts.

Just a taste.. for now.. of some of that changes that are in store for us.

Enjoy.

[slowthestone]

Okay...its reached infestation proportions. As in, ads like spider-mites ffs! On my end, using the Maxthon browser (which shames that paltry firefox wannabee) I have blank spaces all over...which indicates to me an ad is present on the other side of Maxthon's ad-blocker.

It reminds me of going into town...parking...and as soon as I hit the sidewalk, being inundated with panhandlers trying to score a nickel.

If the whomevers are spending more than $50 per year, per 100 gigabytes of available storage, FTP to boot...you're getting hosed. Hellz, theres plenty of free servers that have more features available than ya can shake a stick at.

http://www.simplemachines.org/about/features.php

And really...you want folks to throw down $25 yank for the ability to message other members??? If ya really want that sort of thing to fly...make it $1 and the watch the volume of café subscribers go through the roof.

As well as...in a world where anonymity is a premium...it'd be nice for a person to be able to erase their tracks should the concern for privacy become a concern.

Hmm...should I start my own fledgling forum...cannabis.pot or maybe even marijuana.pot/forever100%adfree ?

Or maybe campaign for other members to click the hell out of the ads, thus, making the bill for that space outweigh the potential profit from having an ad hanging around?

Nahhh...my rebel without pause days are behind me. I just know that people tend to not like unwanted crap shoved in their face and are going to have to say something about their displeasure.

[SmokingPlatypus]

Yeah, there's banners of ads in the middle of threads. I used AdMuncher and got rid of it.

Yup works perfectly
