We think we've been interfered with.

Notice the innocense of the post from Tikay, infering that he has never been interfered with or liked it for that matter!! ;hide; ;hide; ;hide; ;hide; ;hide; ;hide; ;hide; ;hide; ;hide; Title: Re: banner ads Post by: snoopy1239 on March 16, 2006, 08:02:35 PM Okay, this was just a glitch, but would it really be that bad if we had the odd banner up on the forum?
We all use the forum for free, and sometimes I think we take that for granted. Dave and tikay have invested a lot of time, effort, and money in making blonde as good as it is. They've reaped few financial rewards, yet they still continue to work their asses off. I think it's about time they got something back. I, for one, could handle a banner if it meant that we took in a bit of extra dough.

Neither Dave nor I have reaped ANY Financial rewards, not a penny, not even expenses, but we are just emerging fom the "investment phase" of this venture, & there's time yet. We don't regret it for a moment, we both believe strongly in blonde. It already has a significant value, so all is far from lost, & we are reasonably comfortable with progress do far. Banners on the Forum. I am not in a position to comment right now, & at this moment in time, it's not possible for reasons I won't trouble you with. But nothing's cast in stone. If we decide to put Banners on the Forum, I'd like to think we'd tell you about it first. Interesting subject though.

You reap what you sew Snoopy and I think the lads have sown rather well, some things take longer to come to fruition than others thats' all. On the original point, it wouldn't bother me one way or another if there were banners, as long as Blonde continues to flourish and prosper!

Not to say I can't though, I tell ya. Title: Re: banner ads Post by: RED-DOG on March 16, 2006, 09:46:21 PM He doesn't sow them anymore, but sometimes a few spill from his bag
Title: Re: banner ads Post by: tikay on March 16, 2006, 10:01:13 PM You got me there Red.
Charmaine said I looked lovely on Poker 425. There's life in the old dog yet. Be nice to try & prove it though. Title: Re: banner ads Post by: The Dundonian on March 17, 2006, 11:47:22 AM leave out the 14 hour cash games Tikay and you might just get somewhere!!..lol !
Maybe we should try selling you on E-Bay...........now theres an idea ;goodvevil; Title: Re: banner ads Post by: elblondie on March 17, 2006, 11:51:52 AM We would eventually like to place 2 banners/buttons in the forum area.
a) a blondepoker skin b) an affiliate rotation banner We do not intend to sell advertising space in the forum area. We dont want to ever charge anyone for accessing the forum. We are definately not keen on that idea. Ok scream at me ;scarymoment; Title: Re: banner ads Post by: ifm on March 17, 2006, 11:55:13 AM I don't like banner ads, at all.
It feels like a small sell out for me (i know who cares what i think), however having said that if it is that big a step up moneywise then i'm for it as even though i can be a traditionalist i am also a realist :D I am still surprised there is no link from the forum to the main site or access only to the forum through the main site. Title: Re: banner ads Post by: tikay on March 17, 2006, 12:00:12 PM ifm - it's my view that access to the Forum should ONLY be via the Main Site, & that's something that is currently under discussion. There are some odd technical reasons why it's not possible as of now, but these may be resolved within a few days. But no decision has been made.
