As ordered by Frothers, Bill is now getting rid of the Adsense ads. :)

oh it was an experiment says Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf Armintrout.

"We've collected enough information to base some decisions on, and have therefore terminated the banners for now."

The fact more people left and advertisers stopped after the first 3 days in DECEMBER would have been a good indication.

Did you by chance also collect enough from the clicks to pay me?

Why do I feel that Obtusetrout gets more useful feedback about his site here than he does there?

Could it have something to do with the fact that he can't ban anyone here for stating obvious facts about TMP that he doesn't want to hear but are nevertheless true?

We should start charging consultancy fees :D

Should be fine as long as he doesn't try to pay with chickens or Skype calls.

They know that Asian Lady Boys are a statistically interesting / high traffic topic on TMP and on sites where TMP is linked to or discussed. Of course ads like that are going to appear on the site.

:shock: Fuck
Just think what sort of ads would turn up on here if the committee decided they needed extra cash for their various addictions

Heyyyyy!!!

I still have an account there. It's just no-one's listening to me about these things... Like no-one listened to me about the need for a privacy policy. Which TMP still doesn't have.

Well if only you broadened your sphere of operations from the shed, you could have been in Bill's inner circle long ago!
