The ads seem bigger now... at least the new ones that are all in Asher's files. (does he add them manually)?

MarkG is just showing how childish he is, and has already got a couple people to scrap their plans to donate/subscribe to Apolyton, while they will no doubt have no intentions of supporting an administration like his, so are probably blocking all ads, too.
Way to go...

It's unfair right now.

The one's in my posts are little HTML ads for Amazon, not the Google ones like everyone else.
Amusingly, Amazon's Associates terms are a bit vague, but it seems to say that whoever generates the ads gets the portion of revenue. They said they'd get back to me, but it looks like since it only appears whenever I post, I generate the ads, and as such I get the revenue from them...
More as this develops.

If I were to abuse MarkG, I'd take advantage of the dozens of security holes known in this old version of vBulletin.
But I'm not at Mark's level. I play on an even playing field, something he evidently can't stand to do, so he plays with his power like a child.

Why would I leave, when it's much more fun to stay and make an ass out of you regularly, and make Mark look like a 5-year-old power junky?

The only one you make an ass out of is yourself, by letting everyone know that you have several personality disorders.
I suppose pity is more appropriate than laughter in this case.

They're not personality disorders, they're original character attributes.

If Mark's gonna use in-line advertising, he should put them in all forums.

Ugh, these things are annoying and intrusive, but I'll put up with them if needed.
It's not like I ever buy anything from an internet ad, anyways.

take a page from somethingawful. forget the paid membership, unless you can offer extra features.
examples would include searching, custom titles, and perhaps larger avatars (filesize, anyway).
if you're not into that, you could do the OTHER things, most notably selling avatars. anybody on somethingawful can pay $10 to change ANYONE ELSE'S avatar / custom title. do you have any idea how hillarious that could be? imagine if you started charging for avatars (locking current ones as is, to be fair). take somethingawful's rates: $5 to change your own, $10 to change someone else.
imagine ag paying $10 to change asher's avatar to the OSX logo, and then asher would either take it, or pay $5 to have it changed back.
cha-ching.

^^^ This man knows what he is talking about. That whole thing would be hilarious. Plus, this way, you can get rid of the whole "get to 500 posts and get a shiny new avatar!~~~!!!" thing. If someone without that many posts wants one, they can pay 5 bucks to get one.
As for changing others avatars, the mods would go through and verify that each one was in ine with the forum rules. No huge red text of "I AM A ****ING TROLL. DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYTHING I HAVE TO SAY. EVER." kind of titles.
I would gladly pay for such a type of membership.

i personally love those the best, but alas, that is a different breed of forum entirely.
i would gladly pay $10 to make Fez's avatar Ernesto Che Guevara.

Clearly these ads-in-posts should be implemented equally in all forums.

searching has been free since the begining of this site, we're not going to make it a privilege of the few
custom titles are left for the future
larger avatars are already in

The ads-in-posts suck worse than pop-ups. They are intrusive and can lead to people "endorsing" things they find personally repugnant. Not cool at all.

The best thing about this is that, instead of having OT posts count towards his postcount, they count towards his bank account
