FORNITS GETS $$$ TO ADVERTISE FOR WWASPS AND OTHER TEEN TORT
Anonymous:
Thanks. I hadn't followed the previous thread on this topic too closely. Ginger's explanation is adequate and tends to alleviate most of my concerns about potential parent clients of abusive facilites skipping the threads and going directly to the Google bar. Also I now believe that most people would naturally scan the info below the bar first.

In case nobody's noticed the VAST MAJORITY of those ads are already gone. Seems WWASPS etc. feel the need to control any and all info. Ginger was right.

Why thank you!

Yeah, I'm trying to. I used to work in a factory that printed massive quantities of Rebock tshirts. So there I was for 8 hours a day pulling 14 identical cheap assed tshirts off of a conveyor belt, folding them in dozens and packing them 4 dozen to a box. Every identical tshirt proclaimed, in bold colors, the good advice "UBU!"
I thought it would be better and more valuable to have one that was different. So, one evening, I got what I wanted. The dude at the other end of the oven used a pretty nice quality sweat w/ an attractive but out of spec design on it to clean the press. I think it was just printed on the back instead of the front, but otherwise just right. So the front came out w/ that same familiar "UBU" logo, only in radically different colors on a "wrong" color sweat w/ all the lint spots and color runs that come from cleaning.
I snagged it. My boss tried to talk me out of wearing it. Said they could lose the contract over trademark infringement and quality assurance and shit. I just asked him who he thought might actually see me wearing it? I only ever went to work, the day care, the grocery store... no time or money to go see and be seen in those chic joints where he hung out (owner's son, ya' know)
He relented.
In a nutshell, I don't think this industry can benefit from ads in this context any more than they'd benefit from ads in High Times. And I'm ready to try it and find out 1) if I'm right about that and 2) what sort of discussion and insight might arise from ppl finding friggin google ads on Fornits.
so long as the universe had a beginning, we could suppose it had a creator. But if the universe is completely self-contained, having no boundary or edge, it would neither be created nor destroyed it would simply be. What place, then, for a creator?

This is a reasonable explanation. But how can you gauge whether or not the industry is benefiting? Many people take forums with a grain of salt. I find them dizzying and unhelpful when trying to acquire info about a product or a service. Besides, is it worth losing a single parent to the ad banner? I'm referring to a parent who could find the forum, glance at its content with an unimpressed shrug, and then go directly to the banner links. It's an unlikely, but not inconceivable, scenario.
