Assuming $60 a month and lets say we bring in $500 a month from general ads (a very worst case by our current estimates) around 9 a month would make it more profitable then the ad networks.
The worse case scenario is about $4,000 a month which would require around 70 ads a month to cover the difference.
I think ads are great and, while I can appreciate the fact that you guys have refrained from running them for this long, itās just healthier for the siteās sustainability if you are able to generate some basal income from people visiting the site. So long as it doesnāt become an abused feature, like the pop-up windows and stuff you find on some of the sketchier sites, which Iām not worried about you guys doing, I think ads on this site are fine.
There is a thing people not talk about, since the beginning.
But something that bug me would be to have ad about weight loss, liposuction or anything that making slimming apology or fattening condemnation.
If I get to a site like WGaming itās for fleeing all pressure of the slimming industry. Itās like a sanctuary where I can share my love about Fatness and Feederism.
So I am ok for ads, but not if nasty slimming content pop here.
One thing I would really not like is if you click on a page and a pop-up add covers your screen, and you gotta click off. That may not seem like much, but if youāre hopping around topics a lot (I do) that quickly gets tedious.
Other than that, I absolutely support the idea of adding adds, so long as it isnāt enough to be a nuisance (or at least a major one), as I really want this site to get more support!
My opinion is, there can be ads as long as theyāre not annoying/covering stuff and only if they do their job of bringing an income. With the current site layout, perfect ads would be the banners at the top and/or bottom of page, and maybe a single banner ad after every 10th post, for example. Of course, the income from ads, firstly, can and should be spent on ALL site maintainersā needs and maintaining the site itself, and secondly on curated projects, of course.
I hope you understand my ideaās to have site maintainers sponsored well enough, to fully support them, regardless of whether they will be able to continue supporting the site or not, in case of unfavored events in their lives. Problems of psychological, social, financial or any other kind are unwanted for anyone, but we gotta make sure that at least the people that are in the spotlightās are going to be helped if needed.
I donāt see any problem with the site having ads, as long as it is not pop-up ads that you end up clicking unintentionally, it will be fine for me.
I see this extra income as a great opportunity to improve game jam by increasing the value of the prize or making game jam more often or maybe both among other types of contests, who knows a miss bbw contest I think I have never seen it anywhere
The ads are already in.
Iāve had my adblocker turned off for the site because theyāre not really intrusive at all, just a couple simple banner ads, no popups or anything.
Unfortunately, without knowing what ads you are talking about we can not remove them. If you could post screen shots or more information about the ads here I can look into tracking them down and having them blacklisted.
