This is just to talk about the ad banner at the top.

We are not looking to get rich, and ads certainly will not do that, we are looking to recoup costs. So we are going to experiment with ads. The donations work in spurts and sometimes we just don't get enough, and we are leaving them for people that wish them. We will NOT be making it so ads don't show up for people that donate. We are using the boards here as a first test.

We chose the Ads by Google becasue it gives ads that are targeted to the content on the page. We feel that that is more fitting, and may even get people things they want.

Now. We DO disaprove of sites selling platinum and in game items for real life money... SO... if you see such a site on the ads above, post the url in this thread and I will keep adding them to the "banned ad" list. There will be a bunch in the beginning, but I will be going through them and cleaning them up a bit :) It takes a few hours after I have entered them for the ads to be blocked.

Thank you for your patience :)

Hey

Good system, good way of dealing with the disreputable crap, and perfectly reasonable response to recouping costs. I'll click a banner every once in a while for you. :)

Take care,

Adding note before I run for my weekly pummeling: easyplatinum.com, accountbuyers.com

With regards to the ads and the fact that not all are EQ-related, the issue is that it is context/subject sensitive in the ads it pulls up, and, for example, the House Ogre threads sometimes call up ads on real houses, etc. :)

Sometimes, some of the odd links are interesting, such as wolf totems when I was posting something in the totem thread, and such. We'll keep an eye out and see how it goes.

Zendaken
10-20-2004, 11:48 AM
Didn't mean it was bad! I was just amused that when we start getting rid of the "bad" EQ sites, that we seem to have many few good EQ sites.

All told, I totally agree with Ngreth that some of the RW links might actually be useful! Since the filter has started taking place, they've been much more interesting links listed (for the most part).

Though I have to say, that encouraging us to find the bad links has made me pay more attention to the ads now. :D

Capitalism is so complicated isn't it? It's a good thing that EQ2 Ogres are smarter.... Can we get an all ogre dialogue on the issue of free-market economics and the delicate balance between market intervention in order to impose certain foundational social values vs. the power of an unregulated market to generate wealth which can then be used to provide a better standard of living for all? If you can do it all in ogre I'll give you a batwing crunchie, and promise to click on one of your links at least every other time I visit the site. :)

I will click your bannars religiously even though once we eliminate all the ones selling platinum they have almost stopped pertaining to EQ (now isn't that a sad statement?) and as soon as I get in the game I'll start hunting up some batwings. :) If you can help me get into beta I can feed you that much soon.

Good job, btw. I'll miss classic ogre talk in EQ2. Maybe I can convince someone to play an ogre scholar who is trying to maintain their traditional patois as a form of cultural heritage....

While Yahoo is a very reputable site the shopping end is merely a place for people to sell stuff, as a matter of fact the only time I have been defrauded by an internet company was when I made a purchase through shopping.yahoo.com, the "comapny" billed me for hundreds of dollars once they had my info from a legit purchase, I had to cancel my bank account and all sorts of things, and the bank did not protect me from the losses because they could not contact the business, which is what happened to me, I only got an answering machine.

I had made other purchases through shopping.yahoo.com and they were fine and wonderful, but it only takes one bad one to ruin it all for me.

Some people can only have fun if they are the best. The best gear. The most money. The most AAs. Make things first. Find things first. Kill things first. Etc, etc. Doing all that requires them to get high lvl with Uber gear instantly. They would rather cheat to get them the running start that they need for their type of fun.

added gmhelper and guidefox (for whatever reason it was not in there) Remeber it takes hours to not be listed :)

while the "get rich" and "get free stuff (in exchange for spam)" sites are anoying, they do not violate any particular rules, and I can only block 100 sites... so it is a limited amount.

Ah, only being able to block 100 sites is limiting. Sorry, didn't know about that, so I won't post any more of the get rich or get free stuff type sites.

As for language packs being annoying... I find them annoying because you have to download it (which can take time on slow connections) only to see a site you can't exactly read. Just a personal preferance thing, I suppose.

Sent a message to google to see what is up with the japanese ads.

I am curious, why are people so against the language packs?

I have nothing against language packs, per se. Quite the contrary, I love them when I need them. :)

I doubt I'll be needing Japanese characters installed to read this site, though. Right? :p

I have to say, and these made me giggle, that the ads for the 13 cent prayer shawls made my day. They have come up on the EQ1 site I guess steming from the Coldain shawl quests. :)

I also want to say that I have found a couple of good sites for info from the ads by google, so they are not all a bad thing.

Got that one yesterday from seeing it on the other site :)

I have a question for y'all what do you think of the "powerleveling" service ad?

It is in the Grey area of the EULA... you are not supposed to share your account information (which would be required) and of course you risk being ripped off. And frankly, many people do not like this.

BUT... it is not STRICTLY against the rules. Should I leave or block the ads?

I'd say block it, if only because it takes up a spot where we might see an ad that someone might actually WANT to check out. If you've got to put up ads, they might as well be for something the user base might actually want, and I just don't see too many of the folks here as wanting that type of service. Of course, that's a judgement call in and of itself, which I'm not sure you're wanting to make, as it leads to all sorts of future judgement-based decisions, which would take up quite a bit of your time.

While paying someone to play your character is not against the "letter of the law" as such, it certainly violates the spirit of the rules, which, IMO, is a good enough reason to block the ad.

Well as far as I know selling D2 items for RL cash is perfectly legal. There aren't many dedicated sites because Blizzard doesn't care if people do it on ebay or whatever. So there's not really any reason to block that ad, unless I am mistaken.

Got the virtualitems, plus one for mygamestock.

The problem with the info.com one is that it's for a search engine that is basically trying to find fitting matches for our site ... the site itself isn't a plat-selling site, and is currently advertising to find "Info for Everquest 2". It's really a grey area, and with us getting close to our 200-URL limit, think I'm leaving it be ... for now.

That one should be squished (I got it from EQ1 and the same filter is used)

as for just ige...

how many words have ige as a part, as it would block all of them...

I could try though... .ige. and /ige and /ige/ and ige/ will see if that actually saves space.

Give things time... it can take quite a few hours for things to run thru, but I dont think thats hte problem... the problem is the google add is under this link:

which is then redirecting to the one you mentioned... they just have the redirect value at 0 seconds (instant redirect).
