They'd be in the same locations; just appear on more pages than the index.

This forum is freaking expensive and now that some promotions expired my recent bill was ~$500. Meanwhile the ads for the past year only brought in ~$100. To be clear I use this server for A LOT of game dev things behind the scenes so that's why I'm not on a cheaper plan and there is no "risk" of the forum being shut down, but I'm not made of money and this is still expensive.


You'd of course still have the ability to disable all ads in your user settings.

Early this year I finally fixed my adblock to not block the domain vizioneck.com.

So I saw all your ads in 2016.

We need to be able to put ads in the signature for higher bank interest rate.

Do what you need to do to pay your bills, just as long as the ads aren't intrusive.
