Advertising on the forums?

These ads aren't pay-per-view?

I think they're pay-per-click. After all, it's just some words, no images or names of companies.

Adblock will remain on.

I think we could do without the popup that appears when people highlight stuff - that IMHO is disruptive to posting. As long as the banner itself it harmless people seem okay with just clicking that.

@ anti - Is there any way we can at least remove said highlighting-to-trigger ad thing?

Anything that is a legitimate concern for causing member/user trepidation, confusion, or trouble in posting/using the forum for posting should be avoided.  Banner ads and such are commonplace enough that any typical internet user is at least aware of (or accustomed to) their presence and method of operation.  Ads that suddenly-pop-up while highlighting, typing, or otherwise navigating a forum in a normal manner I believe to cause such undesired trepidation, confusion, or trouble in posting/using this forum.

What rob said. Everything else is fine, but that highlighting ad is just bad.

Problem is, we can't put ads in the game. Only Zanz can do that.

The game's going to be fine for a long time, so that's okay. On the other hand the forums could really use any fair source of income it can get. (Unless you're referring to : http://elementscommunity.org/forum/game-suggestions-and-feedback/advertisements-in-game/msg1181427/#msg1181427 )

just now i removed my post, you guys replied too fast LOL

post that i removed:

I suggest putting video advertisements in game.
players can click up to 5 times per day.
At the end of video,
players will get some coins and a chance to get a limited
variety selection of cards.

this does not affects the experienced players
and helps out the new beginners to kickstart
their game.

I 99% of the times don't turn off adblock, now I tried. Well, immediate dissatisfaction struck me, tho this is most probably some sort of bug:

Spoiler for screenshot:

The problem is not that a random ad appeared inside a post (well that's annoying, but nothing I can't live with), but that parts of the post did not appear at all. The spoiler button did nothing after bringing up that ad, and the deck inside was not show until a page refresh. After said refresh the ad no longer appeared inside the post and spoiler worked fine too.

I haven't personally experienced it, but if these ads are glitchy and pay-per-click we might want to find another ad service that is less glitchy and pay-per-view, as I doubt many people click on ads around here.

I don't click on any adds if I can, so I belive pay-per-view should work better. (and the bottom corner popup covers like half of my screen )
