Advertisements; remove, move forum, private webspace?

Hello!

Now, not also that I just sent a very bad bad bad.... telegram to Thirra (I hope he or she will not be too angry)... I continue to complain ;)

This forum is quite.... unuseable.

And I say this as I as a 19 years old with 9 years of forum administration experience.

1. advertisements: there are so many offers without or with VERY decent advertisements on the web, but our alliance chooses one with TWO display-covering grafical advertisements?
Sorry, but that is worrying.
This forum ought to be a place of communication.
That means that one has to feel comfortable within it.
Up to now this is really not the case.

2. I don't want to say that this forum is the worst you could have get, there are also some with pop-up-ads and layer-ads.......

3. To not be the only-complaining-guy: http://www.phpbb3now.com/ would offer supported, ad-free and most important phpBB3-based forums (maybe this forum is phpbb3 based, I didn't give a closer look at the provider).

Suggestion: move the forum to an offer like the one I suggested, to a private webspace (I would offer some in a month or so when I will have mine up again) or do something to remove the ads here (I fear that would cost money)

Not the best welcome-post I ever made, but as mentioned I got quite some experience in Web-Forums and also in NS (1 and 2, currently running an over 120 member-alliance in another world of NS2).

Wish you a good night ;)

Andylee,
As I mentioned in my telegram. I (personally) am not offended by your feedback. I find the criticism quite constructive, actually, and wish to see some other productive suggestions like the ones you've made. I am one to believe that there's always room for progress and improvement.... espacially in our flourishing alliance.

So having said that.... welcome to the FTA. I, as a completely inexperienced person with forums, humbly salute you. I hope to see you around here in the near future. Your help will certainly help!

Cheers!

now, thanks for your understanding.

If you want to do a switch in forums or if you are at least considering one I would suggest you to open a forum on phpbb3now.com

It is easier if there are not SO many posts lost.
