I know ads suck

True. And I for one really appreciated a "logo free" haven on the internet. I don't want to bitch about it, 'cause I had no idea how costly it was to run this site. Then again, it all comes down to what kind of ads will be here, doesn't it?

I don't see any ads, the shape of the page just changed some... god i love firefox's adblock!

I would suggest TR having a paypal account so NIN fans can donate to the site.

I was thinking the same thing, but letting the money be flexable. Like, we can donate however much we want. Very bit helps. With websites like this that have a lot of work put into it, of course the server costs as well as other features such as remix.nin, apps, ectect. it costs a lot of money. I'm honestly not suprised at all. Actually, I always wondered why there weren't ads in the first place because I thought it would cost a LOT. I just assumed you guys put a lot of money into it and always appreciated that. I'd be willing to donate, so.

Do what you gotta do. Having the site is worth it. I agree with the idea of a way to donate, too.

Anybody try embedding an image in their post that breaks the layout width-wise? Does it stretch the containers, thus pushing the skyscraper to the right, out of view? Or does it just pass underneath or something?

It's been seen in the party room already-- posted images pass underneath the ads.

...Now my inbox looks like a teenageroom hung with NIN-Posters!Nice Go Your Holy Hotness,cool...Well,good luck with it anyways,hope it works out.

its all good yo

 

05/16/09 1:17 PM

Hahahaha. I can't believe ads aren't obsolete by now. It seems everyone's migrating to browsers like Firefox and Flock where Adblock is an optional add-on. I haven't seen internet ads since '06, tbh. I didn't even know this site was starting to use ads until I saw this post.

Well, answered my own question I guess...

Here's a link:
[forum.nin.com]


Something to look into. All it takes is somebody to post a width breaking image to mess with the rest of the posts on that thread page as the ad obfuscates the text that stretches into it, and that would get very annoying.

 

05/16/09 3:29 PM

Whatever it takes to keep this site up is fine by me. I love this site and appreciate all the effort that goes into it. I'll admit the ads today have been more intrusive than I would have imagined.

Mark me down as someone who would like at least a paypal donate button, or be able to pay for an ad free account.

Is anyone getting bunched up text on the forum menu with the ads? I am.

Adblock is an extension that you have to install.

Adblock's Mozilla page
YouTube video explaining Adblock
Adblock's homepage

Me too, and when I click to insert a smiley in a post, this happens:

yes, and it's v.difficult to read the menu now. i have a widescreen monitor so i get a load of bunched up text and half a screen of blank background. fugly. ads are not horrible in themselves (yet) but that side bar ad has gotta go. please.

Yeah i cant even get the smiley box to pop up at all.

But i dont have the TEXT problem everyone else seems to.

 

05/16/09 5:21 PM

I much rather see ads then have to pay some kind of membership fee for the site. it's ok by me.

 

05/16/09 5:44 PM

I don't really mind the side bar ad, or at least for now while the top/side kind of match to remind us of Trent & NIN access in all it's glory. Whatever non-NIN ads come I would like to see them in transparent mode to blend in with the background like they do now. Maybe designate either top or side as NIN ads to keep it friendly.. now I'm having trouble with the smiley menu opening as well (going manual) sad smiley and the earlier bunched text I was referring to is under :nin forums.

Ohhh i see it in the forum section now sad smiley

As long as I'm not seeing ads for "Eharmony" And "what's your credit score?" I'm good.

 

05/16/09 6:28 PM

i don't see ads yet but i'm sure i'll get over it if i do....

 

05/16/09 6:45 PM

The ads don't bother me, for a bit it was screwing with the CSS but that's all cleared up now. Not sure about the image linking though. I don't do it very often.

(BTW I use Google Chrome)

 

05/16/09 7:21 PM

I think the ads look pretty sweet. Mainly because they're all NIN ads.

 

05/16/09 7:38 PM

Yeah, I thought something looked strange about NIN.com lol.

I have to agree with Wese, all the ads (no matter what they are) should be done in NIN style, best way to intertgrate it and get peoples attention smiling smiley

 

05/16/09 7:41 PM

ADS?!?! First he's not headlining and now THIS. This is not the NIN I know. I, for one, will never visit this site again. Trent should be ashamed.





Yeah... you know I'm kidding. smiling smiley

 

05/16/09 8:07 PM

I def. support what needs to be done to keep this site running. I also think a way for us to donate to you directly would be good as well.

The text bunching up seems to be a bug that has existed on rare occasions before the implementation of the ads. Its not caused by it, but it may possibly have aggervated it. I'm sure it will get hammered out at some point.

As far as the "ads" ......sorry Trent...I cant really see them as "ads" like as Digg or say Myspace has....these are links to your merchandise...relevant and very nice quality shit...no one could/should complain.

If it goes beyond that...eh....that's the cost of bandwidth/maintenance/Development for social media sites these days, it happens, even to RockStars winking smiley

To be honest, Im surprised its takin ya this long smiling smiley

 

05/16/09 10:42 PM

The cost of monthly bandwidth is staggering and took me by surprise. Anyhow, these ads are totally relevant and all seem to be NIN related so that's great. This is what advertising should be like.

I will quadrillionth the request for a Paypal "donate" button on the site.

Thank you for The Slip. Thank you for this site. Thank you for awesome music. Thank you for being one of the FEW real people in this otherwise screwed up world. Thank you for apps. (I plan to buy an iPhone at some point.) Dude, don't worry about adds. People need to realize that stuff costs money. Especially since you are working on more projects. I don't see anyone else, or any other band, BTW providing a free website. It is YOUR website. You can do whatever you want with it. No one here is owed a website, or an add free website. This is an awesome place to come to to escape the insanity and fakeness that is earth and hang out. If it takes adds to keep a place like this then WTF are some people complaining about. And no, the man who wrote Head Like A Hole is NOT a sell-out. I go to work everyday (ok, most days) and I do not consider myself to be a sell-out because it is what I have to do to pay my bills. NIN rocks. smiling smiley
