ok, i know whats going on now. the 1st time you come to the site you will get about 2 popups. BUT after that you will not get any more pop-ups intill your coke file expisers. so it is not acoualy that many pop-ups. but if you whont you can give us some money so we dont need to have ads Wink

the pay off for thes ads is prity good copampered to most plans and will help compsci proveid you with more cool stuff.

well to be honest, the ads in theory should pay for our bandwidth so the site will stay online Very Happy

lets put it this way - no ads -> we run out of money = no compsci.ca
1 banner per page = enough to pay for bandwidth = yes compsci.ca

i do plan on getting a job during the summer, but you gotta realize that it would be better if the site paid for itself so I can keep the money I earn...

well u see... when u work u expect to use yer money for yerself not for a website... I mean i would never work to spend the money i make on a website... =/(hmmm... maybe i'm too lazy...)

dan, u said the ad pay a $ every 1000 times the ad loads right? so why dont u give us the ad code so we can put it on our website too so u make a little more money...?

hey, that's an interesting idea...

in return we can give you a special rank here or something... though talk to dan, not me

Post subject: 

well it is a good idea but that may piss of the ad compnay. i will tlak to them and see what they say. but you could sing up using the link below the add and make money for your self, compsci gets $1 for ever person who sigins up from that link.

lol the site does belong to you, and if you do have a job you are makin a few hundred bucks a month... so what if you spend 20 of it on a site? i would... if the site was this popular. but ads aren't that bad.... could get used to them heh

I'm running into linker pop-ups, where it's 2 initially then when you close them another will pop up too.

Confused Well I got firewall with pop-up blocking capabilities (ZoneAlarm Pro)

but I did test the popups out and I got just two... and just the first time

Author:  nate [ Sat May 10, 2003 11:30 pm ]
Post subject:  Atleast 2 also

Every time i load this page for the first time i get 2. Its annoyin but what ever it just a simple matter of closing them. Give the admins a break. ****YOUR NOT THE ONE PAYING**** so there are a few ads but who cares the site is still awsome!

thats not entirely true... (most isp's have really low bandwidth limitations.)


but yeah, I am all for ads. I think they are a good thing, but it would be better if they were just cpm and not the popups.

So dont clear your cookies and you wouldnt get new popups...

I think you get popups only as often as you login... Unless you access it from school that doesnt keep cookies or something... Confused

But hey, if this will keep the site up (and allow for more content), why not, right?

you ever noticed the bestest sites of all time always have ads... yahoo lycos msn ...

I have to say, the banner is unnoticable since I never scroll down that far anyways so that was a GREAT idea, *bows to Dan*.

The popup is annoying but doesn't really matter because it's only once every 30 mins (clearing cookies resets the timer)

If the extra income allows us to get unlimited bandwidth then this was an incredible investment.

hmmmmmm..... i only get one pop up and it's when i come to compsci the firsttime....

Author:  Tony [ Mon May 12, 2003 12:02 pm ]
Post subject: 

yes, thats the way it should be... since it sets a cookie (mmm... cookies) to not show up again.

i think that the pop-up problem has be sloved with new smaller crpayer ads that no one will relay see Twisted Evil
