I am only mildly disappointed that there was no mention of bikinis in the body of the text.

9. Big Board needs to go...
If I donate, why do I have to have 1/8 of my screen taken up with the Big Board. The way you coded the HTML, I cannot adblock that section either. I will need to resort to some CSS filtering or something.

14. Doing our part in busting the economy.
Those ads represent businesses needing customers or they're done for, and America needs commerce to grow. Ads work. That's why businesses create and spend money on them.





Why do donating DUers hate America?

I thought I followed all the directions, but when I tried to go back & do my stickie, it said I had not donated :pouting:

I had hoped to donate some more, to get a few more, but I'm holding off for now.. DI will have to be satisfied with my monthly automatic donation :P

55. You get an add on called adblock. After install, right click any ad
and tell it to block it. That ad will never show up again, it also blocks images, which I like because some images on sigs and avatars on many forums are just awful and/or annoying.

38. I like seeing the ads. I like knowing, the good and the bad,
what kind of businesses financially support this board. It pisses me off when people donate a star for me because then I have to continually log in and and if I want to monitor the advertisement.

51. Just so you know...Updated at 12:04 PM
...virtually none of the advertisers on DU specifically chose to advertise on this website. They purchased advertising through a broker like Google (or ValueClick or Chitika), and that broker automatically distributes the ad to a bunch of websites based on some computer formula.

And we here on DU don't pre-screen any of the ads either. We just accept them automatically. We can block ads after they start running (if we are aware of them, which is rare).

In short: Nobody on either side of the transaction is deliberately supporting the other. It just happens more-or-less at random, with virtually no direct involvement from the advertiser or DU.

61. I know that. But even so, I did manage to get
a particularly ignorant & offensive ad removed from DU some time back.

43. Just sayin'
just looked at the repliers in a thread I replied to recently, and the % of other repliers who'd donated was shockingly tiny.

44. You know what could make them go away? Not accepting them.
Radical idea, I know. But, if you're okay with your site looking like trash, well, it's your site.

48. Uh, maybe if everyone who could, would contribute
to the tremendous cost of maintaining a hugh site like this there would be no meed for ads...'til all those able but not willing either quit wasting band width or pony up...

52. Further
If you had come to this thread without the tude you would already have a star..I would have purchased one for you (actually likely someone else would have beat me to it), instead you come here looking a gift horse in the mouth, it is quite apparent you wouldn't appreciate it anyway..

47. That cool gold star is the most important benefit of donating
It lends some credibility.

Thanks to those who have donated and given me a star in the past.
