If we are going to have ads, please let them be cooking/food related!
I appreciate that DiscussCooking is a business whose revenue stream comes from advertising. It is certainly your perogative to explore ways to increase that revenue.The intermission ad has been removed. It was only a webpage that was NOT malicious... We will be studying various ways to offer advertisers ways to reach our membership.
In this case, it was setup as a network wide setup that helps attract advertisers because of the size of the network as a whole (75,000 members) but it is obvious that we need to keep all advertisements specifically related to each forum communtiy.
The long term plan is to show the most ads to visitors and guests as they are not contributing to the community. As a member posts more, earns more karma, does not get warnings, etc then less ads will be shown. That is much harder to implement then it sounds. Please understand that is our goal and be patient as we work towards that.
...we need your feedback to help our community evolve.
