Ask The Staff: Non site-related questions!

The ads on TBT are a recent addition in the past few weeks. Right now, there's just one ad for guests, but that will be expanding soon as we need to upgrade our server in the near future. I'm sure some of you have noticed some slowness yesterday for example.

Also, staff typically receive free collectibles for the group events that everyone works on. (last Halloween and TBT Fair)

Fo realz!

Why are warnings/infractions on posts only visible to the person who got it?

If I saw something was already dealt with I wouldn't have to report it :p

Actually, I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone report after something has already been taken care of. Warnings/infractions are only visible to the people who have received them for privacy sake. Warnings/infractions are between the staff and the member in question, no one else has business with the situation.
 
So, I was just wondering; what happens if Jer just decides to stop admining on TBT? Does the website just... stop? I'm just v curious.

Yeah, I'd assume that the site would be passed down to Justin. I don't think the whole site would be stop because of it... But it depends on the situation as a whole I guess.

Well, that's an interesting questions to ponder. Assuming Jeremy is the owner of the site, then yes, it would just stop. Someone would have to buy the site from Jeremy and choose to continue to operate it. That is assuming that Jeremy would be willing to sell it. I've seen situations in the past where the site owner just doesn't want to sell but would rather let it just die out for one reason or another.

Justin would probably take over adminning, but the financial side of things would have to be considered.

I doubt jer will up and stop.
 
I for one am glad to see that ads are sort of going up. I'm not terribly an active poster, but I love lurking here. The site gets lots of traffic and it's a lot of work to keep it running and keeping it fresh. I have friends who are site owners, and they earn anywhere between $80-$700 per day on theirs, so I hope Jeremy starts making lots of money soon. He deserves it for this great site.
 
I don't use my ipod to access chat a whole lot, but you might have better luck using an app.

Keep in mind, if we add ads like that it's to fund the entire forum. Please turn adblock off for TBT. Nothing ad-wise on this website will ever hurt your computer.

Is money still collected from ads if we never click them? I have adblock and I know I'll never click an ad in my life.

I think they get paid just by putting the ads up, although I'm not 100% certain if this is true.
 
Clicks are where the majority of revenue comes from, but impressions still generate a smaller amount.
