Why no adverts here?

endi

I just disabled AdBlock on this site, because I think, this will make some money to the side owners.
And I noticed there is no adverts here... Why?

It's just one of the many reasons why we love WoS!

guesser

lol

That's like wandering into a nice park and going "hey? where's all the dogshit?" You get so used to it that you forget what the world was like without I guess :)

Do you want adverts?

I read a rumour on FB that the new owner was going to fill the site full of adverts. I doubt that's true though.

That would involve him building some sort of new WoS though so I wouldn't worry about it.

To be honest I can't believe some actually asked the question "Why are there no adverts on WoS?"

Please can you add those big fake download buttons that helpfully install malware and other useful tools. Thanks

Can we have one of those great big boxes that pop up and go "LIKE US ON FACEBOOK! FOLLOW US ON TWITTER! IGNORE US ON GOOGLE PLUS!"? I really like those, they don't make me click away from websites at all, oh no.

Preferably in FLASHing green and magenta with a little beepy tune to go with it.

guesser

Oh and how about one of those giant boxes that covers up the entire screen when you're on a mobile telling you to download some stupid app? :)

Can we have every link to a topic link to another page with the link to the topic, surrounded by other links? Preferably with misleading titles and pictures of cleavage?

And within each topic, can we only have one post per page, forcing us to load a new page for every post that follows?

leespoons

You had me at cleavage.

Mmmmm.... cleavage.

MatGubbins

and one of those "99999999 person to visit this page, you win an X-Box! Give us your details" banners

Yes, but the links should not work as intended, they should either be broken, and dump you at an auto generated site that is purely irrelevant adverts, or take you to a web site that is purely irrelevant adverts....

Oh, and some links should result in the blue screen of death :D

Don't forget to add that JavaScript "Are you sure" message box whenever we close the WOS tab.

Or something like a "Please login to read a page of this magazine" user/password thingy...

So, when the magazines are in, you want to keep the login? Ok.

You mean the login is still there??? I haven't seen that for a very long time, since I've used my scripts.

Good luck getting the magazines back in though.

Or how about FLASH? We should have all pictures embedded in SWF containers so that our lazy AF processors can get a run for the money, right? ;)

dm_boozefreek

Hey everybody I'm all for the Russian girls, or Romanian, Bulgarian, Estonian, Ukrainian, sh*t even Polish hawking there wares on here so long as they "Open bewbs fo 20 tokens" :))

But realistically why the fook would you want ads? :))

equinox

The little spazzy one in Terminus who wore the glasses. Pretty sure he/she was called Spex. You knew you'd screwed up the game when you'd killed the other 3 characters, since Spex could only bounce around like a spazzy mad ball, and there was no sense of control. But didn't you want to give him/her a little kiss?

equinox

Hahaha oops I accidentally posted "cutest Speccy character" on the "why no ads" thread. Oh well, you all deserve it.

equinox

P.S. My neighbour just got a dog and I started hearing dog noises through the wall. Like squeaky toys. And yesterday morning I heard the most heart-breaking YIPoooo. YIPooowoooooo. and clearly the doggy was left alone. I sat there listening to it, and holding my cat close, telling him I'll never leave him. Then I thought "yeah it's like 11 I should probably get out of bed". P.P.S. maybe i'm drunk.

People are always advertising their new games and hardware on WOS.
