OMG WTF! o.0

Ok, so now I've got your attention.

As you 'should' all know, SRL was down a while ago because of lack of funds.
And I do not want this to happen again, and all of you shouldn't either.

So what are we going to do about it?
ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO CLICK THE ADS!!

And to help us do that, I have made a simple banner (In my sig).

So if you wish to help out SRL, put this banner in your sig.. Or make your own!
And don't think, "Oh yeah, I'll just put this in my sig and everyone else will clicks the ad's so I won't have to". CLICK EM!

Just help SRL out, and let it NEVER go offline again! :)

Take out the .'s !!


Thanks,
TurboBk.

Don't come in here with your negative attitude towards me and my banner..
I don't see you trying to help out SRL by getting people to click Ad's.

It's annoying? No.. It gets your Attention, that's what it's meant to do.

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all - I can't believe your mother hasn't taught you this yet and your how old now?

Get a life.

I read somewhere that ads and commercials are made annoying on purpose.. Not sure why, but I guess you'll remember them better or so :p ..

But don't be so negative, and a few little clicks won't kill you, and if it's so terribly annoying just block the image with adblock.

Yeah bob your right, I could of made it.. "Click the Ads".
But then it would of got half as many views, If you look at ANY thread I've made, they've always been proper titles.. I just wanted to grab people's attention.

And that's good if you offered to pay for the server for a year,
if your so rich why don't you donate a little bit?


EDIT: THANKS TO EVERYONE TO IS HELPING TO CLICK THE ADS <3

It costs around $100 a month (apparently)
Soooooooo $1200 a year

@ Rsnerdx

We get a small amount of money from the ads when you click them.
Any bit helps.

Haha, I thought of that the other day, but supposedly it can't be done.
Because they only pay for a unique click on the Ad per day, not 1,000 clicks from the same IP Address a day. Someone told me this but I can't remember, if I find out I'll edit this post :D

Yes, double clicking ads won't add more money, shame:(
Good to see everyone says they will click the ads<3
Good topic, this:)
I like the title, because it attracts a lot of attention^^
Its just a few seconds a day, and thats not that much, so click the ads:D

Good job TurboBk;)

Isn't there something written in the T.O.S. that your not allowed to advertise to people to click the ads?

Just saying…

turbobk

2008-07-07 03:32:16

Yes the website is not allowed to ''advertise to people to click the ads''.

But I don't see anywhere saying that the users can't? :p

Harry

2008-07-07 17:58:48

No! This is bad! Adsence rules say NO advertising to click ads is allowed! Anyone doing this risks Google not paying SRL money due to Terms of Service violations …

Edit: Just saw posts above me :)

Nexhou

2008-07-07 18:00:32

Is it me or all 99% of these ads for pimples and acne and stuff like that..?

streetskater160

2008-07-07 23:46:25

yea i click on all the adds because i mean srsly its not hard it takes about 10 secs and it keeps the site up no biggie

turbobk

2008-07-08 10:18:07

Yeah, and again, says nowhere "that I've seen" that users can't advertise to click the ad's. It only says the Website in which the Ad's are on can't. :)

Bobzilla69

2008-07-08 10:25:45

it does actually say it in the terms and conditions, so you better hope they dont find this thread.

i think you should read before posting that it aint against the terms and conditions
