HectorSRCVINYL Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Hi We want to change our Ad server company and we are testing the ads of a new one. Our current ad company does provide enough income to pay for what it cost to run VC every month. We are aware the pop up ads can be annoying. If you have any questions, suggestions and complaints, post them here! We will figure something better out and will keep you guys posted, just be patient!! Thank you for your patience.

THE_James_Champ Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I have a suggestion: get rid of the damn pop ups. vinyl addict, ejc625, daegor and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axotyl Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 i wouldn't mind having more ads at the top and/or bottom of the page, its just the popups coming up on every single post are really annoying. i don't know how many people browse the boards without an account, but if it isn't an insignificant number, you could maybe target the popup ads to them in addition to whatever else (if that is possible to do).

dantheriver Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Now I'm getting really long horizontal ads that are stretching the mobile site and making it more difficult to read. Fix it please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danny Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I know banners are stupid and pop ups are worse but if everyone clicked one banner a day for using VC we could cut back banners big time. Just a thought. The idea is to keep VC as ad free as possible but it goes cost money. For example: Did you know that VC users generate over 125,000 emails a month outbound to your email box just sending notifications/alerts? Can't be worse than those annoying messages Wikipedia posts daily asking for donations. Still looking for input from everyone! All ideas are welcome. Thank you again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Just add extra ads to high traffic topics such as the hot topic, blink 182, fall out boy, and my chemical romance threads! dethrock, Duff and kjkenney 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hossy55 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 has there ever been a discussion about offering a "+" account? Meaning, members can pay a yearly price to be part of this wonderful VC community, and possibly even have there own forum to post where the rules are a little more relaxed, but also, these "+ members" would not have to see ads? just wondering...id pay a nominal fee for this....maybe I am not alone, maybe I am.

Mourning Wood Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Alright, i just clicked about 5 banners. Does that legit send you guys some money? danny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 This is a great site, both as a resource, and a community. I don't mind having to deal with a couple of ads considering access to the site is free. You have my email address. I assume you are using that for marketing. Again, I don't mind (within reason). The full page classmates.com splash screen ads, that require me to scroll in a funny way, then click to close it, were very bothersome and not welcome. I think a banner ad under the first post per page, and, say, one under the last post per page, as long as they are music/vinyl related, properly formatted, uniform, and easily discernible as ads, are perfect acceptable. Thanks for providing the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I am very interested in having an banner free VC for users who support. Any other great ideas? Hossy55 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
