...Make the front page longer? That would give you more space to add more ads, right? Maybe make the top ten on the left into a top 50. That would make it longer.

P.s. I might be being completely stupid, so don't laugh.

Well...the point of ads is to be noticeable to people as they go through links on a site; that's why they are next to links. Making room at the bottom to just put ads and nothing else there....I'm not sure myself, but I do think the only way that AG actually makes money from the ads is from people clicking on them.

Let me check for a moment...

Well, if you scroll down a bit and look at Klaus's post, ads just need to be there and NOT be blocked off from add-ons. Not sure about clicking XD

That would give you more space to add more ads, right?


Non-members have more ads on their page than regular members. Then there's the occasional wallpaper ad that pops up every now and then. There are a couple flash ads in the corner... Ad at the tops and bottoms of every page... there really is no more room lol XD

Well it seems that the number of ads as it is is bugging the hell out of less patient users, so this will just aggravate them more. Honestly, the site is still running, so the income of money must be fine.

The site is still running, but obviously, there are no updates and promised add-ons to the site, probably from a lack of revenue to have a stronger server to have these extra updates... The site running may even run out of juice and we're one less a game site to hangout at. And gods know no one wants to migrate to Kong....

...after all, this site is much better, in terms of community AND site layout. However, blocking ads with add-ons hurts this opinion, and eventually, poor Danny is going to pay out of his pocket, and in turn, will make this site pay more to counter it. Things like pay-to-play, littering, or...the ending of the site all together.

It's all in that link that klaus made

Klaus pretty much said it all in that thread he made about adds. They are a necessary 'evil' if this site is to be maintained free for the users...

And really... they are not THAT much of a bother, are they? If you accept the fact that they exist to keep you playing free games, life's a whole lot easier!

Adds will always bug impatient people, they have an unrestful soul... (that was deep, phew) but pay-to-play will agitate them even more, so keep it the way it is! =D

Just Maple Story in one place isn't going to cut it, I'm afraid Armorgames. You should find other sites that also carry wallpaper ads. Not only that, but it seems as though I only see them when they are on the homepage. You still have side backgrounds while browsing the forums and games you know...

If it's going to mean more add-ons and updates to make AG better than it already is, then hell I'M up for it. bring on the ads! I don't care what kinds they are so long as they aren't *gasps* ROLLOVER ADS.....
