Notice Notice About Ads (We Will NOT Be "Ad"ding Any)

[Zwielicht]

I just wanted to put this out there, but we will not be adding any official banner ads to this website.

Personally, I find them a little... ghetto, for lack of a better term. I just feel like they'd take away from the experience we're going for with this forum.

But this is a community forum and not a company site, so I will not add ads to the forum. It is just a personal preference.

We're still working out funding this community through upgrades and stuff like that, but I'd rather it be run off of donations for now until we have more members and upgrade options in place.

That is all.

Update April 5, 2025: I added a bit more information to this.

You mean I won't be able to buy banner ads for my mouthwatering delights?



Meme aside, how about pinned posts when we have loads of Traders?

I suppose I wouldn't have an issue with setting up a pinned posts process for traders in The Trading Post, but I'll think that one over when the time comes.

It's banner ads and text ads all over the site that I want to stay away from.

On a related note, if members want to post ads in their own signatures, they can. I set something up for signature image sizes to automatically get reduced to a specific size. I still need to tweak it, but I'll post the final max size once it's completely done.
