I'm sure you will keep it at a level below "Punch the monkey to win" and "Shoot Bush to win a PS3", so go for it.
Don't buy anything for me to review. I know how to get it if you want it. We've got lumps of it 'round the back.

Llava, is Deadpool a playable character in any 2D fighting games? Or is that a sprite edit?

The latter, I believe.
I just stumbled across it and thought it was neat.
(Though he is playable in X-Men Legends 2)

I don't mind what you put in a banner, however, correct me if I'm worng, but don't you only get paid per click on these things? If so, I think you'll be lucky to find any system that pays adequately, I suspect most of the audience here is more likely to pickle their own head than click on a banner ad.

CPC = Cost per Click CPM = Cost per Thousand <whatever>. On the Web that's "impressions" or banner serves. Yes the "M" stands for a thousand -- it's an advertising thing. |

Except the vets here and others who care might blithely click to try to help f13 earn revenue (even if it doesn't really do anything). |

CPC = Cost per Click
CPM = Cost per Thousand <whatever>. On the Web that's "impressions" or banner serves. Yes the "M" stands for a thousand -- it's an advertising thing.
The M is for mille, French for thousand. CPM is the industry standard, how large online media companies sell their ad space. If you are selling ads based on CPM, you want a site where users are constantly opening pages. Message boards are ideal. You then set about giving the users more and more things to do, so they open even more pages. To maximise income, you also need to put as many ads as possible on each page (from tiny text lines to banners and skyscrapers), while not pissing off the user. My job is to do this with news. Ooh look, terror alert in London! Here's the main story, the five related stories, the form to send us your photos and videos from London, the gallery of your photos and videos from Heathrow, the Al Qaeda backgrounder, the timeline, the sidebox with "today's most popular stories", the unrelated Core2Duo story promoted for an extra click from all the nerds, a news search tool, a poll on fear of flying, a link to the Paris Hilton music video outtake, and of course the message boards where you can discuss the definition of terrorist, Paris Hilton and Core2Duo vs Athlon64. Sign up for our email alerts so you'll hear the news earlier next time (and visit us again) and oh, here's some cross-promotion for our other sites. CPM is why Rupert Murdoch paid US$650 million for IGN. And why a story about Mischa Barton will get more space on a news homepage than the fighting in Lebanon. |

That's why so many sites do useless fucking polls. I get it now.

Well, for your information, I really don't find Paris Hilton particularly attractive at all, though I wouldn't call her hideous.
So I will select option C.

You might try changing the placement of the Adsense ad. For example maybe moving it to the bottom of the page instead. I never look at the top 300 pixels of these pages because there isn't ever anything up there.

I'd have to agree. Tower ads are the only ones I even notice.. and even then only if they have movement or flash. Eww. |
The past cannot be changed. The future is yet within your power.

I don't know if it's possible or if people would get pissed but some message boards put the ads in the first reply to the op. You'd probably get more clicks like that... |

For that to work, it would have to be the first post of each page...
And even then it wouldn't work too great, what with the "New" button here.

They actually have it on the first post of each page, I haven't looked around there that much. I agree, but I still think that kind of placement would get the most clicks. |

I can't see them at work, but they show up at home. I must have Firefox configured differently at home. Not that I care; 99% of my F13 time is at work. |

These are CPM.
As in, we only need you to look at them. And considering how much you look. I think allowing ads for us is fairly reasonable.
Also, you'll love America and freedom more.

So what your saying is, if we dont refresh the forum pages over and over, the terrorists win? |

I don't want anyone here to refresh over and over. Everyone going about their day as normal would be just fine.

It is actually pretty easy to do with Firefox/Adblock- I was amazed. The ads are creeping me out though- very bright against the nice dark background. I fear change.

Clearly we need an imagemagick module that automatically adjusts the hue and chroma of the images so they blend in nicely with the rest of the site.

I need one of those bird thingies Homer had for the Y key. I'll set it over my mouse with my mouse over the Refresh button, and then I'll go to work.
Reminds me of DAoC crafting! BOOYAH!
