    Why don't they do like Red vs Blue used to do?

    10 bucks every 6 months, optional buy in, and those people that pay have access to things like a separate insiders forum where SpursChick and everyone who gives away tickets and other info when they have them posts there first.

    That would give people an incentive to pay in, you get a little "Insiders" logo under yor name and your name turns blue or something, and since we all love Kori and LJ, 10 bucks isn't that big a deal.

    That and we could have TROLL FREE DISCUSSIONS!! Because whiny S0ns wouldn't want to pay 10 bucks to anything Spurs related.
    I would never do any "members only" type of areas with a dollar amount connected to them. I wouldn't ever want to exclude people from any insider stuff.

    I dont care, this place rocks. I just really hate those word hyperlink adds that attach themselves to a word in the paragraph and make pop ups and when you move the mouse over them

    I hate ads. I don't want ads in the Spurs forum.

    I am considering setting up an arcade and other sections of the site and only putting ads in those sections.

    Makes perfect sense, I never meant to question your judgment or anything. I have just heard bickering about it in the past and wanted to see a poll of what everyone thought.

    Maybe throw some ads in the other non-basketball related forums or something?

    I hate ads but if Kori really needs them than I guess I can handle it.

    Just FYI, we can't use Google Adsense here because of the cursing.
    I laughed out loud when I saw this thread. Then I thought:

    Who could you get to advertise with all the foul-mouthed members on here?

    North American Man/Boy Love Association (Nambla)?

    Goth's R-Us?

    Personals: Rhonda Roundheels (For a good time, call Rhonda at 555----)?

    Call Dr. Edgar, the Drive By Psychiatrist for all your personalities.?

    i figure that there are bills to pay. it's a reliable high-volume site, that's got to cost something.

    I'm in favor of folks getting paid for their hard work, if they so desire. Lawd knows it's a job well done!
    All the best.

    I think there should be voluntary donations where you get a cool icon (or another spur) for giving a set amount.

    It's all about the money. Who cares about anything else? Cash in, Kori and LJ. Do it.

    Why not. They provide a valuable service, free of charge, to Spurs fans around the world.

    Nothing wrong with making a little scratch on the side, too.

    What a loaded question! I voted no to annoying pop-up ads, not no to them making profit.

    Even if we ever put ads up, I doubt it would be enough to actually make profit.. maybe just get somewhat closer to breaking even. But I hate ads, so it's not been something we ever consider much. But since we have to upgrade the server (again!) soon, I might have to re-think. I would never put them in the Spurs forum though.

    If you had to, put them in the Kings forum. All of them.

    you should think about setting up some sort of cms like joomla(this is the sort of work i do freelance). this way you could finally have a real front page with polls, ads, and whatnot and then have the bboard integrated into the whole cms. it would be cool not to mention pretty easy too.

    We have a CMS software and used to have a front page (when it was FullSportPress and the ezboard forum - before SpursTalk and vBulletin). But most people direct linked to the forum anyway, so the front page was pretty useless.

    I would not mind at all if there were no pop ups or ads with sound "Congratulations!". Evil ing things. If the inventor of pop ups isn't already dead then he must be at least in a coma state or something from the beating hes earned.

    yeah i can see that happening... i'd probably directly link to the forum too. well it'd be a cool idea if the front page turned into some sort of real sports column newspaper/magazine type site where headlines were at sort of like spursreport does but not like spursreport because sr sucks!

    How about a SpursTalk magazine, with columns written by original members, the best of the message board section, etc.
    Endless possibilities
    Put ads in there.

    Oh, well, we will probably make some changes in the next couple months. So we'll figure it out.

    haha yea the question is a little loaded, but if you read my description I never advocated pop-up-ads. Who in their right mind would want that?
