mooeypoo Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 I ... have one thing to say about this one: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! AAAAAA!!!
ydoaPs Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 MUWAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! Someone should contact Anonymous.
iNow Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 I'm not sure which was better... Ben Stein's Expelled ad appearing on every evolution page, or the scientology one appearing on every mental disorder page. Ah... I see... The scientology one actually appears on most pages referencing science. My bad.
swansont Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 I like the irony of the potential for revenue being extracted from such ads. Click on them. Death by a thousand cuts!
doG Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Threads like this let me know that my adblock extension is doing a fine job. I don't see any ads on the site on any page
YT2095 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 agreed, ad block or NoScript (the one I use) are worth their weight in Gold when it comes to that sort of trash.
mooeypoo Posted June 17, 2008 Author Posted June 17, 2008 The only big problem with this whole thing is that blike probably needs this money for server upkeep... <sigh> damn scientologists. We should also think of more ways to earn the upkeep of the server, upgrades, etc.. Google ads pays by click, I think, so swansont is right: we should LOOK for these annoying organizations and click on them, so at least if they pay, they pay us. ~moo
YT2095 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 sooner send a cheque direct to blike than look at that lamebrain scientology-cult bullshit I shudder to think what poor Old Mother Hubbard must think of her son L. Ron`s activities!

Cap'n Refsmmat Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 This is the only website I whitelist in Adblock, actually. We ought to set up a donation system for those of you who block ads and feel guilty about it. (You should feel guilty.) 1

(You should feel guilty.) Why? They only generate revenue if we click on them. Are you saying we should feel guilty for not looking at them or for not looking at them and clicking on them?
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 They can also generate revenue just by being viewed. I'm not actually certain which way we're set up.
john5746 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 sooner send a cheque direct to blike than look at that lamebrain scientology-cult bullshit I shudder to think what poor Old Mother Hubbard must think of her son L. Ron`s activities! My son was up there with Moses??
antimatter Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 I ... have one thing to say about this one: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! AAAAAA!!! That really sucks. The only ads I get are for nano-technology and science programs which are tolerable.
Dak Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 hmm... i don't recall the last time i got a picture advert...
Mr Skeptic Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I like the irony of the potential for revenue being extracted from such ads. Click on them. Death by a thousand cuts! Yup. They'd like it less than we do. Here their precious cult will only get mocked, not new members. Of course, by actually making a thread about scientology, we are actually increasing the odds that someone will stumble upon this website when searching for scientology.
john5746 Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 yes, I have seen the scientology ad alot in this thread, but not others. It's nice and shiny. Me likes shiny things....
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 The amusing part is that nothing happens when I click on it.
john5746 Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 The amusing part is that nothing happens when I click on it. It took me to a website when I clicked on it a few days ago.
antimatter Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 It took me to a website when I clicked on it a few days ago. You should probably do a virus scan then...who knows what sort of non-atheist viruses those websites can carry...
Sayonara Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 If they are using Google Adwords, then it costs Scientology real money every time someone clicks their banner. Hint. 1
blike Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 The only big problem with this whole thing is that blike probably needs this money for server upkeep... <sigh> damn scientologists.Heh. I've often wondered if we should move to a donation only system. It doesn't cost much to keep us running. I hate ads as much as the next guy, which is why they're limited to up top. Block them if that's your thing.
