View Full Version : We need a current adverts page!

Right, one thing this forum really needs is an advertisment page. I've mentioned it before and there was no interest except from members. Not long ago another member mentioned it, but I dont think anything has been done.
I saw an ad I liked just as I was hitting the Index link, but before I could do anything it was gone. And for some reason, when I use the back button the ads ALWAYS refresh!

Now what would be a nice thing, would be a page of all the current ads, and Im sure the advertisers would appreciate it too. After the back button didn't work, I used refresh and had to go through the following before I came across it again. Below is the order of the ads, but there was a few not written down such as the host with mysql license, powweb and ev1super servers, but that was before I started writing them down.

FuseMail
Host Done
Relio
CP+

Adwatcher
ThruPort
Bocacom
SmarterMail
EV1Servers
HostGator

Dedicated Now ***The One I Wanted***

So, please, iNet, I beg you - please help us out!

Philip, the ads probably refresh since your browser doesn't cache the page. [Unless you're getting this with Opera, then that's strange.]

I'd also like a list of advertisers, and I'm sure the advertisers wouldn't mind either.

Why doesn't one of the leaders turn this thread into a poll, maybe that can convince iNet. :)

What need is there to convince them? It's good for the advertisers.

As Philip said in his post, it has been posted countless times, and still has not happened to this day. And not always does every member wish to see this happen.

Count my vote in favor for the advert page.

We have lots to do around here. And this will likely be one of them. But, we have other things that need to get done first.

SWR, you're right, but confirmation of the "It's on the to-do list" is always nice.

Immortal.. it doesn't affect the community at all which is why I can't see anyone viewing it negatively. If for some reason someone does have a problem with them, I would suggest they contact a doctor, and quick. :P

Huh I do not understand this suggestion. It seem like someone is wanting to have a TV channel full of nothing but commercials. Is that right. Who can help. :confused:

As you can see WHT has ads, both at the header, and the footer. What they are saying, is that have a list of all the ads, so if you refreshed and missed an ad, you can still find it, without having to search again. It's good for the advertisers, because they would get more clicks :).

I support this idea, it's a win-win situation for advisers and consumers. :)

I don't really have an interest in this, but I do see why some people would want it, so count my vote too :P

I don't mean to dredge this up.. but its a pretty good idea. I'd definitely check out the list, as I buy from a good amount of providers on here.. some good stuff!
