vpsBoard advertisements and availability
- Thread starter MannDude
- Start date
All ad-spots were reserved in 24 hours, so started a backup reserve list. You've been added to that.
Ads will be going live by this weekend. vpsBoard member [member=Novacha] has graciously written a nice script to serve these in house. Feel free to check the code here: https://github.com/OpenAds/OpenAds
Next up, I just need to get a billing panel setup to lessen the headache on me keeping track of payments. Will do that later tonight or tomorrow.
We have a test/demo running internally. Unfortunately it only is viewable for the admins and not for moderators (aka me) apparently. We're running it through it's paces
Don't worry it's on its way!
When?
Screencap of moderation log below. I didn't remove anything. Don't believe anyone else did. Let me know when and I've got database backups made every 2 hours, so I can look into it and restore it.
Sure you didn't just send me a PM or comment in a similar thread in another forum?

Well ads go live tomorrow night. I've contacted everyone on the reserve list, but those who 'reserved' a spot, not every can buy an ad right now. So if anyone current providers want to buy another ad, or anyone else who didn't see this thread in time and came here when all spots were 'reserved', PM me. We still have a few slots open for 125X125 ads

Wowzer! I'm looking at them all right now in mod/admin view and for some reason I'm really happy to see ads (there's some decent ones around too!).
How so?
Consumed a lot of space
Feel like it would look better if the banner was centered on the content portion, rather than the whole forum width itself.

Edit: hmmm maybe that wouldn't work for each page.

Ah. I'm not sure how to make a 728X90 banner ad take up less space than the size of the ad itself
It'll grow on you. I've been staring at these for the past week in an admin/mod only theme (exact same theme, just it had ads).
Seems the ad wasnt that effective didnt took you to buy the service?Ah. I'm not sure how to make a 728X90 banner ad take up less space than the size of the ad itself

jst jkinBut srsly, vpsb now looks like one of those 'web hosting review' cashfarm sites with hell tonne of ads. Mybe how the header ad was placed, idk.
I'm not a huge fan of it either, but it's joined the ranks of 90% of the rest of the web. It's not free to run, and in an effort to be able to afford to do cool things to continue growth they're here. It is what it is. I can't very well not showcase top ads either, as I already mentioned elsewhere that these spots would remain the same for at least 3 months. So in 3 months time, we'll reconsider.Seems the ad wasnt that effective didnt took you to buy the service?

too much space border between the header ad and content
