AdBot-------I love it!!!!!!

The AdBot is the neatest advertisement I've eve seen. Not annoying to me at all since the ads are relevant to the material posted. AND if it helps defray the cost of this forum GO FOR IT.

tlippy, absolutely! Any freeloading morons who can't take the desrete little adbots we get here can just kiss our @sses.

If you donate you won't see them but if you are just taking advantage of joe's site free of charge and complain then there is litle hope to please you. But of course freeloaders are almost impossible to please anyway.

Thanks for showing a bit of positive support of the site and the financial obligations of running such.

I posed a similar question. I thought I saw in some other thread that Joe added some kind of opt-in feature that would allow donating members to continue seeing the adbot.

Yes, it WILL be posible! Look for a big upgrade near the end of this week

BTW< I changed ad services from Google to Quigo's new AdSonar program. Let me know how you guys like the new ads.

I can't see them. The Ad bot posts are now blank to me.

Sadly, Google asked me to remove the adbot. The ads are still shown between the last and second to last posts in each thread, but in a different format.

It was nice while it lasted, Nov, Dec, Jan and Feb all were profitable, I highly doubt March will be... Maybe its time for me to go activly search for advertisers.

Joe, with all the free advertising Wallbike, Performance, Colorado Cyclist, Excell get here it should not be to hard to get them to pitch in.
Go to Cycling+ forum (even though they are anti American and suck) and it may give you some ideas.
