I'm not webmaster - Cam is Site 'sponsorship' is an option but may compromise independence. Plus, If we do a deal with one supplier, what will the ohers say? Anyway the whole point of the ads at the moment is to find out what is possible. The complete day they were on generated £2 - doesn't seem muc...

It's not about making the forum self funding specifically. In a general discussion about about finance the point was raised that, as we have such a lot of traffic on the site, perhaps we could generate some income from this. The adverts carried for the last day or so (now removed as you may have not...

Its a Google link - adverts get put wherever Google decides is appropriate. Looks fairly accurate to me so far. I'll find it for you.

As I'm not on the committee I can't really comment on the meetings. I don't see any need to change the terms and conditions. The Google placed ads are paid for, the Ray Newell book, as I explained elsewhere, is stocked by the club and we would rather like to sell some. You will see lists of all the ...

I have no idea what's causing the problem. (or the Invalid session problem mentioned elsewhere- that happened to me too). Unlikely to be anything to do with the ads - they're put on after the BBS software has finished. I'll keep looking

Re reading the posts, a lot of the criticism seems to be for the right sidebar. I know ads seem to be unpopular generally, but would placing them somewhere else on the page help? perhaps at the foot of the page, or in the left bar?

I may try moving them around a bit over thnext week or so

Google Ads etc

At the last committee meeting I was asked to investigate advertising on the website as a possible income stream for the club. I have put these on for the time being to get some idea of the possible income. When i get some idea of their effectiveness, I'll report back to the committee to discuss long...

Nice to be appreciated! We are reliant on people telling us these things though.

out of those 134 users, 73 were probably google indexing bots!

OK fixed for now. Its a problem with pruning topics with no repliesin a certain period of time. There seem to be too many topics / posts for this to cope, so I've switched off pruning.
It seems to do the prune every time we try to access the forum, so I'll look at changing it some time........
