    Banner ads that is wink

    Hostboard gets revenue from them that keeps us posting.

    And on a side note. Steve the guy who saved Hostboard for the wrecking ball is very cool. He cares about what we the posters think and is doing various things to spiff up the site, but get this, asking for feedback first! *big grin*

    So click thru please. Hostboard gets credit from every ISP that clicks thru every four hours. So clicking three times in a row, equals one click, but click every four hours counts as a click.

    Thanks gang.

    Talking

    Gee, I'd gotten so used to ignoring those banner ads (they're *everywhere*, they're *everywhere*) that I didn't even think about clicking to support the site. Duh.

    I'm clicking now, though. biggrin

    Cheers, y'all.

    Just thought I'd bump it up again to keep the thought alive. I run in and out of Hostboard up to 5 times a day and still have a tough time remembering to click (although I do try to remember at leaast 2 or 3 times a day).

    So remember to click the ad.

    SF? You mean the SciFi channel? That's a bit different than here, if I understand things. SciFi gathers all the information you offer them and use it for non-spam email (yeah, it looks like spam, reads like spam...) as you volunteered your email address and possibly missed a couple of check boxes already checked indicating that you were interested. There should be a mechanism (you may have to dig for them) that allows you to be removed from their emailings. No guarentee, though. YMMV.

    Ah, ok.
    Sorry for the misconception on my part. As for this site, I don't think when you click on the advertiser there's any information sent along with the browser request. At least, I haven't found any junk mail that would have originated from here, but that is an educated guess.
