Or does everyone one else have ads at the bottom of your Hatrack pages, too?
Have they been here forever and I'm just now catching on?
What's going on here??

Just noticed that as well...
Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :
Me too.

I just noticed them, too. On the Living Together thread, the ads are Save Your Marriage Now and How to Save Your Marriage. Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :
Maybe this is similar to what will be in the Gmail. (I'm saying that because many of the ads are Google-related.)
Posted by The Digital Man (Member # 6427) on :
it says "ads by Google"
I know google actually looks at the page (search results) and chooses from an ad pool to appeal to people that might be reading that page. They might be doing something similar here...

Well, at least they haven't been here for months and I just now noticed.
Still.
They're a little annoying, don't you think? I guess we'll probably get used to them. And if they help pay for the site to be here, well, I'm all for that, of course.

Hmm.. I don't see anything. But then, I don't see many banner ads. But from what you are saying, these are text ads. I know that I *do* see google text ads.

What sort of ads might the onanism threads get?
Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :
I don't think they're too annoying, really. just different, for now.

one of the porn threads has an ad for The Year of Samantha but I'm not sure it's *that* kind of book...

I can't wait to see the first thread where we remark on the appropriateness/inappropriateness of the ads.
Also, we should try to make fluff threads that get serious google ads.
Let's have some fun with this! Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :
I'm trying to decide if I am happy or sad that I cannot see the ads. Probably happy, even though it means that I am out of the loop.
Posted by Jenny Gardener (Member # 903) on :
And I guess I would have liked a warning.
WARNING: Hatrack will now be accompanied by ads.
I feel a little like my privacy is being invaded, if the ads respond to thread topics. It makes me feel snarky and rebellious. I'd rather pay a subscription to Hatrack than have ad people spying on me and the things I post. And then seeing what the ad people put up bothers me, too. How dare they presume what I like?
I think these little ads are bringing out my fear-of-being-controlled and labelled issues.
Posted by The Digital Man (Member # 6427) on :
there's unfortunately what appears to be a very small pool of ads, most of them seem to be for books or writing classes, so far...
Posted by Rappin' Ronnie Reagan (Member # 5626) on :
The thread didn't always appear at the bottom of the add post page, right?
Right?
Am I really that oblivious to what's going on?
edit: I'm seeing quite a few different ads. A lot of them want me to help the people of various third world countries.

If you *really* don't want to see those ads, start using one of the mozilla browser (firefox is what I use). You can customize it to not display banner ads, and it works on these ads.

How long has the last post been showing up on the "Post a Reply" page?
Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :
I think the posts were there before. I know something was down there, and it had the Hatrack symbol at the top.
Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :
There's been a little window showing the thread you're replying to as long as I've been on Hatrack. Don't you people ever scroll down?

Wait a sec. It's not the last post. It's the first post on the thread. I guess I've never scrolled down there before.
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
I think the ads are fine. The text is not too intrusive, and heaven knows running this site must be expensive. If this means Hatrack stays without us sacrificing a virgin every once in a while, then fine. Posted by Miro (Member # 1178) on :
Lol. I just noticed the ads and was about to post a thread about it.

Ooooh, now there's a noble cause for Pearce!
