bluehash 1,581 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hello, The Forum generated enough this month(Oct 2011) for its monthly quota. As thanks, enjoy the first week of November 2011 Ad free. Also a big thank you for your support and not using ad-block. PS: If I missed disabling any, let me know here.

Fred 453 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I never even noticed there were ads. If they're not too obtrusive (or relevant) nobody minds at all. Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hmm.. are you using adblock? If enabled, it automatically blocks Adsense ads. Link to post Share on other sites
gwdeveloper 275 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I usually clicked on them here and there. Figured it helped the site and pictures of digital oscilloscopes are dead sexy. Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Awesome. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hmm.. are you using adblock? If enabled, it automatically blocks Adsense ads. I'm not using adblock. The ads are there - I meant just didn't notice them because they aren't annoying. Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Oh.. ok. Understood. Link to post Share on other sites
zeke 693 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 It's weird to see what google serves up sometimes based on what's on the page I'm looking at. I've seen it advertise gm vehicles based on a word in the posting. Kinda funny because we could manipulate them with creative writing in our posts. Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hehe.. imagine a page with every post having the work oscilloscope in it. Adsense also serves ads depending on what you have been browsing recently. Link to post Share on other sites
GeekDoc 226 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I'm with Fred. No need for a "free" week; the ads are unobtrusive. Let 'em go. Earn a little pad for a slim month. Link to post Share on other sites
DanAndDusty 62 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I agree with letting the adds run and get some coinage for future fun and frivolity. I actually DO use adblock but I have it disabled for 43oh as the adds aren't intrusive and its such a fun resource that showing a few adds is a small price to pay imho.

SugarAddict 227 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Yep, I have adblock and keep it disabled for 43oh and a few other sites... It's when I get ads that make noise or are WAY TOO FLASHY that I start turning it back on... I was tempted by a few ads on here but the price of the sites linked was ridiculous.

bluehash 1,581 Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Ok.. not something I was expecting. I'll re-enable them tomorrow. Thanks. I was tempted by a few ads on here but the price of the sites linked was ridiculous. The Adsense ads or the Sponsors( Gabotronics, NJC, Saleig)? Link to post Share on other sites

xpg 127 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I'm with Fred. No need for a "free" week; the ads are unobtrusive. Let 'em go. Earn a little pad for a slim month. I'm with you both on that one! /Paul Link to post Share on other sites
