    That's not a good idea. Deliberately clicking on adverts, or encouraging site users to do so, will probably end in the adsense account being shut down.
    all the more reason to...

    Honestly, I didn't pigeonhole you to any particular station in life, and its not my problem if you choose to take stereotypes personally.

    OK fair enough, I miss used the word software comrade. I would explain exactly what I'm working on, but you're some loon off the internet and I've an NDA to think about. I actually work for someone named Sam, so yea never know, is that you boss?

    Daft dont get any of the money generated. They dont own us you know, they got a minority stake! This is something Vex and I have haggled over for nigh on 18 months. I dont like advertising as most of you are aware but we do have wages to pay so this is what Vex reckoned was best and we ran with it to see. I think its ok, its unintrusive *or inobtrusive, both work by the way). I with is wasnt white background but meh...

    Its been there for weeks at this stage and this is the first time anyone has posted about it! :)

    If people really hate the ads they can always use m.boards I guess.

    I think it was the placement of these particular adverts that prompted most the comments.

    Well if you subscribe you have the option to remove ads in your user cp. If people hate them enough then it might seem worth the €5 a month.
