    Welcome to the first and only banner exchange focused solely to non commercial softair sites like forums, team, news sites,...

    :) Seems like a good idea none the less.

    Seems like a good Idea. Retailers, Sites and Teams get yourselves noticed now.


    LB

    Dude it says non commercial websites. Retailers are commercial businesses

    Hence would probably not be allowed to sign up to the site.

    Dude, read the post above yours. ;)

    Anywho, anyone wanna do up a banner for boards airsoft forum?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Do boards not make a profit from the site? They run ads on it anyway

    Commercial sites not allowed, remember? ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 306 ✭✭davvowl


    yeah but there's alot of airsoft community websites with a few advertisements on it to help pay the hosting fees and stuff...
    i think its just not for reseller websites :)

    :D heh. I don't think the members of the Paintball and Airsoft board make money off of it.

    So come on guys, with the banner already :)

    Actually i thought the articles on In Country 5 and the Star M-Series were quite good. Considering its the only publication covering Airsoft currently available off the shelf in Ireland it's a little hard to knock it.

    This is one of the largest forums in the world. The ads are needed to fund and maintain the web links and hardware for the site. Boards is a non-profit site.

    just as i thought at first :)

    Not sure about the "home of..." bit but I certainly like the photos. Nice work! :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 306 ✭✭davvowl


    thanks !

    somehow had the same feeling about "home of", now changed that into "home for" :)

    i was thinking of adding a clover (or a leprechaun) (or both) what do you think ? :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 960 ✭✭✭Harekin


    Would the whole "Adverts" and Retailer threads on this not disallow us from doing the banner exchange because technically we're advertising the Retailers?

    clover or leprechaun is a bit too clichéd for my liking to be honest

    banners look good though, maybe clean up the white around "now ye're talking" and make it transparent

    Edit: the attached image has been given a transparent background instead of white

    Leprechaun with M60, Leprechaun with M60!:D

    ???


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 306 ✭✭davvowl


    rofl kdouglas nice one (hey where's the pint)

    thanks for the picture file but the main problem was the text isnt that thick so its pretty hard to read on a dark background, however ill give it another try tomorrow mornin (i left all the pictures files i worked on at work -_-)

    oh and i didnt intend to make a cliché, just thought it might be nice to add a little symbol or something :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,414 ✭✭✭kdouglas


    hmmm... fair point, dark background might not work well with it, could add a 1 or 2 pixel white border around it though, should work
