Rogue15 Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 gamefaqs.com has WAY more forums, and look at how much ads they have. only 1 on each page, but it's conveniently placed at the top of the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You always need to use correct grammar and spelling so that otehr people can easily read what you are saying. Its rude to use incorrect spelling and grammar and also very annoying to others. I think its a rule that you should try to use correct grammar, and if not then its one of those "unwritten" rules. Anyways, i don't even see the ads, i just have gray bars. So its not very annoying at all for me. Of course, the boards load more slowly than they used to, so thats not good, but they haven't changed all that much.

Clefo Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 Exactly what Tie said. Besides, if you use good grammar I'll probably have a higher level or respect for you since you can take the time to make your posts readible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artoo Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Spelling and Grammar are essential parts of written communication. If you have them at least people can understand what you are writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJackal Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Delphi: You have to understand how HARD and EXPANSIVE it is to run 10+ sites on the same server with a huge ammount of visitors daily. Its very expansive. The staff had to reluctantly place these adds to pay for the scaling ads of the server. Then we had a "affiliation" type of thing wtih UGO. We just recently (more or less) terminated it. The UGO ads dont give us enough money to pay for the servers so often the moneys goes strait out of the administration's pocket (mostly the head honchos of LucasGames.com and mixnMojo.com) We just moved server and once things get rolling again we'll sign up with a better ad company and once all the costs are covereted the adds should be gone completly. To put it in fewer words: we are having growing pains... and it hurts like a *****. Do you understand now? <btw, this is the opinion of ME. Not the offical word of the network. There's a lot of legal mumbo jumbo which I am not aware of... > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chessack Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Originally posted by Eets'chula Give it a while... The ads will be gone. I promise. I, for one, don't mind the simple fact of ads per se... after all, you guys presumably need to keep the forums funded somehow, and ads are a fine way to do it. The amount and location of them does not bother me... the animated nature of them, though, does... I find animated ads very annoying. If there was some way you guys could still accept advertising but disable the animated-ness, I for one would be most grateful. But I also understand if that's not possible, given the stupidity of most advertisers and what they will likely demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheJackal Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 i are french and i are is bad grammer. but seriously. I'm fully billingual in both written and spoken in French and English. Unfortunantly I suck more in English. As for the animation of the banners: they'll never go away. See, most companies think Animation is dynamic and will blow people away. Like: "OMG! IT MOVED!" or "OMG! THATS AMAZING" you know. crap like that. However if none of the banners were animated then it would be harder to fill in a lot of imformation into it. Sure, simpler is better, but too simple just makes the ad pointless. As for the near adult content like the web cam for voyeurism ad or the wet bikini ad. We, the staff, are VERY sorry about that. UGO has provided us with a certain code that will only display G rated advertisements. However, since UGO .... sucks... they tend to slip in some ads. Just count yourself lucky there is nothing more ... distracting... as those mentioned above. <again guys, my opinion, not the one of the http://www.lucasgames.com and http://www.mixnmojo.com staff.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
