Like the gradient darkening?

Some of you ask for some fucking stupid shit, first of all. I try to weigh whether or not what someone is suggesting is a good idea, but everybody has an opinion.

Annoyed, to a degree, I guess. And a bit like a jerk when I say no to something that would be cool, but detrimental to the forum.

Which is why I asked this question. I kept having this feeling every time someone asked for stuff, which in turn discourages me from asking for potentially dumb or already discussed things.

Okay, you mentioned earlier that the revenue from the ads helped some. How does this revenue help, specifically?

Ok, here's a bit to keep you occupied: nameplates that resemble Halo: Reach armor effects are in the works. Some of you have probably seen some testing I've been doing with the bloody nameplate.

For those that understand Britspeak, he does not mean a bloody nameplate, but a literally bloody nameplate. I saw it, it looks badass.

I turn off adblock when I use this site.

Does that make more monies?

Once before noon.Err... Yes. I'm a web designer, so I already had a host to begin with, but this forum moved to a new one after the DDoS.

The advertisement is helping tremendously, however.

Then I thank you greatly in that regard. I'm dun diddly fucked over on Bungie.net, and as a result, this place is the only place I can call home. If it ever gets taken down, I go with it into the void completely.

No, like nameplate code, responsive design, and rank calculation.

I get money for having a lot of visitors to the site (it's not very much, but we get lots of traffic). That goes into a google account that sits there until we have $100. Then a check gets sent to me, and I can pay the hosting bill again.

If you're asking how else it's spent, well... we may need some paid plugins at some point, but for now we're just getting some financial padding in case we need a bigger host all of a sudden.

I could ban you and give you red text. Is this acceptable?

I do wonder, how much money do make per person that clicks on an ad? Estimate a number if needed.

I'd say about $1 to $2? It varies, depending on how many visitors we have that day.

I recommend you only do so if you're interested in the ad. Those are Google's rules.

I've been clicking quite a lot of ads.

I mean I could just say I'm interested in them.

I could get in some trouble if I don't insist on you guys following the google guidelines. Don't click them unless you're interested in them.

It wasn't. They're constructs and are therefore incapable of emotion.
