A word about ads/advertising

A word about ads/advertising was created by lfan
If you've been to the Update Tracker, you'll notice this god-awful, obtrussive ad for SMBM:A. Well, the reason is three-fold:

1) Want to promote the purchase of said movie to support it
2) Times are tight and trying to recoup some costs for this site to keep it goin
3) I'm still trying to figure out how to make it 'less obtrussive' and more integrated

As for #2, you might see more ad banners and widgets popping up from time to time, especially once the redesign is complete (more on that later), but it is necessary to help defray some costs for the site. The costs are not a lot, but then again neither is the money I'm expecting to recoup (if any). Just be aware that 100% of any money made goes back to the SWM community in the form of hosting fees (SWM) or public commissions (with any money left over).

SO....if you were thinking of ordering/buying Apocalypse, I'd simply ask you buy via the link on the tracker page to help support SWM.

Thx
Mgmt

Go for it.

I'm in favor of whatever needs to be done to keep this site running.

I agree. I think we're all accustomed to ads around the internet, and know that running a site isn't free. So, as others have said, go for it.

As a followup, I'm only doing this as a last resort. I hate ads on sites more than anything, though I understand their purpose!

Any ads for SWM that I choose to put up will be for the support/promotion of the genre (e.g. banner ads) or products that are genre-based and have been discussed in some capacity on the forums.

I was going to buy that DVD anyway, so I'm glad to contribute to this site's bottom line.

I'm sure we all understand the need for putting up ads.

Do what you need to do, don't apologize to us! We owe you!

I think it's a great move - may have even passed on the very idea at one point.

Wish the Smallville Season with SG was on there. <Hint - Hint>
