Skin?

You know what is bad, out of all the priorities, putting the adverts that crashed the forum in the first place are one of the first ones to go up.

Hello Beskar,

Not really. There were other priorities, such as getting a working forum. All those priorities were completed first.

After that a few other tweaks were made. Tweaks that are not visible, but are semi-required.

After running advert free for a week, the banners were put back. Banners generate money and are simply required in the end. I'm not sure whether the adverts caused the problems.

You are very right though: work is far from done. This week also saw working days of 16 hours (ex 2-3 hours for commuting), so I will use part of the week-end for adding spice.

Hello Drisos, how are you doing?

[Beskar]

Fully understood, but it surprised me in a laughing manner, you just got the forum up and the first thing (or one of the first) were the adverts, and the 3 weeks ago, it was apparently an advert crash.

I am glad to hear you actually get money from them, though, I am not sure if anyone actually clicks on them though.

Hello Beskar,

It seems to be from adverts/links that got slipped/smuggled in. I've seen whole forums being defaced by banners and links. At times, the banners here get something annoying with music, popups or the like (not supposed to happen, but ad companies try), I don't think it throws malicious ones in the pool though.

I can see it surprised you and you are right: it's one of (or the) first visible edits after adding some skins, avatars and smileys.

Can't we donate to get the forum ad-free (and consequently safer?)

Is the amount required to run the site too unrealistic to be covered by some donators?

Hello rasoforos,

Ad-free forums get similar problems too. It's certainly true that some banners in cyberspace cause trouble, but we really try to avoid those.

The host requires ads, in return we get hosting and some fair support. It's not only the amount of money, but also that of time.

Talking about skins. Am I the only one who doesn't have a background image at the moment? my standard skin would be RTW. Also I just noticed the text being typed in reply boxes have become the standard notepad font?
Is it just because of somework being done or something? I tought it best to let you either way.

Edit: never mind. It's fixed already. Guess just some work was done.
