----------------------------------- Blade Sat May 10, 2003 2:30 pm ads,ads,ads ----------------------------------- hey guys, why dont you just get a job instead of using ads? i just came here and got 3 different pop-ups.... those are increadibly annoying.... thats why i dont go to porn sites ;) :D... if i can get a job, there's tonnes waiting for you guys ----------------------------------- Dan Sat May 10, 2003 2:39 pm ----------------------------------- that is ood, i will look in to it. there shode not be many if any pop ups. plz post if you are geting pop ups and how many and how oftten. ----------------------------------- Dan Sat May 10, 2003 2:54 pm ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- Tony Sat May 10, 2003 2:57 pm ----------------------------------- well to be honest, the ads in theory should pay for our bandwidth so the site will stay online :D 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 ----------------------------------- Blade Sat May 10, 2003 3:04 pm ----------------------------------- whats wrong with working? that gets so much more money... enough to buy something to pick yer nose with so you wont have to get yer finger dirty.... lol ----------------------------------- Tony Sat May 10, 2003 3:32 pm ----------------------------------- 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... ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Sat May 10, 2003 4:20 pm ----------------------------------- 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...) ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Sat May 10, 2003 4:28 pm ----------------------------------- 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...? ----------------------------------- Tony Sat May 10, 2003 4:42 pm ----------------------------------- hey, that's an interesting idea... in return we can give you a special rank here or something... though talk to dan, not me ----------------------------------- Dan Sat May 10, 2003 4:46 pm ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- Blade Sat May 10, 2003 4:51 pm ----------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------- Dan Sat May 10, 2003 4:56 pm ----------------------------------- i got so much hw, and progjects rigth now i whould not have time for hw never mind helping poleop on this site :wink: . ----------------------------------- Blade Sat May 10, 2003 5:18 pm ----------------------------------- lol yeah that does remind me.. theres only 1 more month of school left... i hate the end of the year, so much work.... and exams... they suck too lol ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Sat May 10, 2003 5:42 pm ----------------------------------- well i'm still suspended from school so... no worries :D ----------------------------------- Blade Sat May 10, 2003 6:17 pm ----------------------------------- oh, what'd you do, give one of the STUPID teachers a much needed box-shot? haha i play D&D with my friends, i did that to a barmaid and she hoofed a chair at the back of my head as i was walkin away... it made me pass out.. but luckily i didnt get anything stolen from me :D ----------------------------------- Asok Sat May 10, 2003 7:40 pm ----------------------------------- 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. I'm running into linker pop-ups, where it's 2 initially then when you close them another will pop up too. ----------------------------------- Tony Sat May 10, 2003 10:50 pm ----------------------------------- :? 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 ----------------------------------- nate Sat May 10, 2003 11:30 pm 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! -Nate ----------------------------------- octopi Sun May 11, 2003 5:37 pm ----------------------------------- ****YOUR NOT THE ONE PAYING**** 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. ----------------------------------- Tony Sun May 11, 2003 9:29 pm ----------------------------------- 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... :? But hey, if this will keep the site up (and allow for more content), why not, right? ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Sun May 11, 2003 9:52 pm ----------------------------------- you ever noticed the bestest sites of all time always have ads... yahoo lycos msn ... ----------------------------------- Asok Sun May 11, 2003 10:10 pm ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- Blade Sun May 11, 2003 10:14 pm ----------------------------------- yeah, the more thought i put into.. the better it gets.... i'm with asok.... heh ppl change... ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Sun May 11, 2003 10:50 pm ----------------------------------- hmmmmmm..... i only get one pop up and it's when i come to compsci the firsttime.... ----------------------------------- Tony Mon May 12, 2003 12:02 pm ----------------------------------- yes, thats the way it should be... since it sets a cookie (mmm... cookies) to not show up again. ----------------------------------- Dan Mon May 12, 2003 4:31 pm ----------------------------------- i think that the pop-up problem has be sloved with new smaller crpayer ads that no one will relay see :twisted: ----------------------------------- Tony Mon May 12, 2003 7:41 pm ----------------------------------- i think I got a popup :? might be my imagination though, or a delayed one from another website... ----------------------------------- Dan Mon May 12, 2003 8:43 pm ----------------------------------- hummm, if any one gets a pop-upp plz post becuse i have not goten any and whode like to know if they are trying to srew us over here. ----------------------------------- Asok Mon May 12, 2003 9:04 pm ----------------------------------- I havent gotten any. Assume that if you get one it's probably from another source ie. other site or Kazaa etc. ----------------------------------- ZeroKelvin Tue May 13, 2003 8:18 pm ----------------------------------- i think i got one too but im not sure :? ????????? :? ----------------------------------- Blade Tue May 13, 2003 11:32 pm ----------------------------------- i usually dont pay attention... well, because they're annoying and i'm like an auto-closer, but i will pay more attention ----------------------------------- Ravage Fri May 16, 2003 12:11 pm ----------------------------------- I heard that there wasn't supposed to be any pop-ups but I'm getting them like crazy. This is the only site I have open at the moment and I get 2 extra pop-ups every 30 seconds. Thought I'd let ya know ----------------------------------- Tony Fri May 16, 2003 12:25 pm ----------------------------------- very weird... I'm using school computer and I dont get any popups. Clean cookies, no firewall or anything... I get popups from other site, but not compsci :? we cant fix the problem if we dont know what it is. :shock: ----------------------------------- Tony Fri May 16, 2003 1:36 pm ----------------------------------- holly crap, I'm also getting stupid pops ever few seconds :shock: dan, do something ----------------------------------- Dan Fri May 16, 2003 1:43 pm ----------------------------------- where the hell are they coming form? i will look in to it, but i still dont get any ... ----------------------------------- Dan Fri May 16, 2003 2:02 pm ----------------------------------- i figered it all out now, the pop-up adds are based on a random thingy. i got riede of one of the ads becuse it was doing evil stuff.
