You mentioned that the forums didn't bring in much revenue, and it's very bandwidth intensive, so that might be a good alternative. |
Does anybody know if these forums had google ads originally - or were the google ads relegated to the blog posts only? I don't remember, because I read the blog for a long time without ever posting on the forums.
I pretty much ignore ads (google or not), but just a few weeks ago a google ad popped up that introduced a brilliant possible solution I didn't realize was out there to something that was/is troubling me deeply. The ad connected me to a concept that was very freeing, and it brought a potential force of light into a situation that was starting to seem impossible. Really weird that it would come through a google ad, but it did.
I will see how it plays out but you never know when, out of all the junk, an ad might actually connect a person to something surprisingly helpful - involving real people and the real world too.
So... I just want to say that this is a nice suggestion. At least, trying to think of a way to be helpful to everyone.
