Steven P. Administrators Posted January 31, 2004 Administrators Share Posted January 31, 2004 Neowin is self sufficent (survives through ad views and the revenue from it) which means everyone who frequents Neowin and doesnt run ad blocking software (for banners) contributes to our pro-longed existance. We tried various forms of sponsorship but it never worked out, paying our own way and making our own decisions on the course of the site is way better imo and we are more informed about cost, resources and what we need to keep a server running to meet our needs.

Wannes Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 I do run add blocking software but I think Neowin is on my allow list. Does that mean adds running on Neowin get allowed? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven P. Administrators Posted January 31, 2004 Administrators Share Posted January 31, 2004 Does it help for me to bulk click? Or does it realise I'm bulling it? the ads only allow so many registered clicks per IP to prevent abuse Draconian Guppy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akaladis Veteran Posted January 31, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 31, 2004 no ad blocking stuff here either :) power to neowin! /Raptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Me neither. Someone needs to write a script that checks for ad blocking software and won't allow them in unless they turn it off. :p *joke* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannes Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 I think this depends on clicks and pageviews. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWatchDawg Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 I pay for Neowin! Got a problem with that? LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VidER Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 packetnews.com has a script to prevent those who block pop-ups from browsing the site.. I think Neowin should do that also. VidER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruBD Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 i dont think neowin has popups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 popups would suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null_ Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Popups would suck.. I believe Neowin had them for a very short period of time when they were hosted with MikeMTH or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Pop ups will lead to Neowin loosing members. They won't take that risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWatchDawg Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Yah we had pop-ups when we were hosted for free from MikeMTH but we dropped him as soon as we saw that members hated it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Yea, it's kinda logical people hate pop-ups. They jump from nowhere! :whistle: Worst of all are those moving pop ups, those that like vibrate. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BxBoy Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I love pop-ups! :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Wow! :o Why though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VidER Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Guys I didn't suggest adding pop-ups! I said packetnews has a script to prevent those who block pop-ups.. I meant to suggest that neowin adds a similar script that prevent those who block the banners! Just to ensure that everybody allows neowin banners to appear..
