Chiliwailer Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) There's been quite a bit of chat on this site lately about selling fee's, possible BC membership costs, recession etc. The guys at BC have to generate money, fair enough, we all respect that ( I hope). There are often bigger adverts and pop ups on other websites selling things I don't want, or showing something which I once googled, but bass / music adverts wouldn't do me any harm at all, especially if I knew they were contributing to a good cause. At the moment, there's only two small commercial adverts running at one time when I'm on this site. [u][b]Question: How would you feel about more, or bigger adverts and pop ups being used here on Basschat to generate more cash for the cause?[/b][/u] Edited June 19, 2013 by Chiliwailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Not for me. I prefer to pay for the sites I use regularly. But as I understand it, I'm in a minority there. best, bert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthevan Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Don't think i've ever clicked an ad on any forum, so for me they don't work. Personally i'd prefer a membership fee with only members being alowed access into certain areas of the site (general chat / marketplace). Sub forum sponsorship seems to work on other sites i use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 More ad and pop ups would be a definite turn-off for me, but I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with paying either £7 or £20 to try & flog something on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I use ad blocker on Google chrome so y'all go right ahead and do whatever you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I use an advert blocker on my Mac, and sell on Gumtree. In my opinion the fees to advertise on here are too much, it's just an advert, you don't get any sort of promotion with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) [quote name='BurritoBass' timestamp='1371669622' post='2116870'] I use ad blocker on Google chrome so y'all go right ahead and do whatever you like [size=4][/quote][/size] [size=4]This. I haven't seen any ads on BC (or anywhere else) for months. [/size] [size=4]As good a reason as any for changing to Chrome, imho. [/size]Unless you're a tinfoil-hat wearer, in which case ...don't.

Hobbayne Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I think most folks on here use adblocker anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Much the same as other posts on here, I don't think I have ever opened up an ad on a forum, I may be interested in a few bass related ad's on here but if they started getting intrusive apparantly you can get an ad blocker.....now why didn't I know about this sooner and does it work on the tele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Potential revenue is pretty small from commercial advertising outside the bass retail and manufacturer market. Probably less than £1 for every thousand times an ad appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Oh please... There's already a thread currently running where a small minority are currently being allowed to grind equally small axes. We're not having two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
