FORNITS GETS $$$ TO ADVERTISE FOR WWASPS AND OTHER TEEN TORT
Anonymous:
if you go into the Troubled Teen forum at the top of the page there are Google ads on a thin banner. Some of them link to Struggling Teens etc. I don't have a problem with it because as I said, they've already seen those if they're seeking help/advice. If they find them after reading here, I don't see how that can be of any help to WWASPS etc.

Dragonfly, paranoia or prescience? I've wondered the same thing about a lot of ppl I've met in connection w/ this issue. It's a tough question. We know psyops exists. But do we really rate that level of attention?
Maybe, maybe not.
Then I ask meyself how could a former Straightling ever get involved in such a diabolical plot. "Are you shittin' me, self!", I heard myself shriek, "no better recruiting ground I know of for just that brand of lunatic!"
But I just won't let anybody recruit me for their campaign, that's all. And I've sort of come to the conclusion that everybody who's doing anything to try and sabotage somebody else's idea of "the cause" is probably acting honestly from motives they believe in. And it's more often ineptitude or misunderstanding that gets in the way.
But it doesn't really get in the way of solving the problem. Not like you might think. It only gets in the way of all of us being decent and civil to each other. The story is getting out there, warts and all.
I really and truely believe that those ads in this context are, not only counterproductive, but also may be helpful in directing more shopper traffic here before the land up on a program marketing site. But there's only one way to find out, try it!
As far as trusting me or you or anyone else? Don't trust strangers. Get to know ppl. I've made friends over the years w/ some pretty cool people around here. But they're very cool people who just happen to share an interest in these topics. Not everybody here is cool and not all cool people post to Fornits. It's practically irelavent on that score.

Oh no, it's not like that. The great bonanza has amounted to all of about $35 so far, and I won't see any of that till about a month after my balance reaches $100. I have to say, it was looking too good to be true there at first. But the market very, very quickly started to respond. See, very few advertisers really want their ads in this sort of context. So far, it looks like softwear companies (especially phpBB) don't mind. People selling term papers are cool with it. But the big payors, the industry, seem to be weeding fornits out of their allowed context pretty quickly.
Now, I don't have access to a list of advertisers that have banned me. All I can do is check from time to time to see which ads turn up and check my CPM rates (Cost [to advertisers] per thousand impressions). So far, the ppl who pay, on average, $2.47 per impression are opting out and those who are only willing to pay about .08 are hanging on.
One notable exceptions is CEDU, which is in dissaray at the moment and probably hasn't got the staffing to deal w/ minutea right now.
I'm cool w/ that. At this rate, it may offset just about exactly the bandwidth charges that this forum runs up each month. And I have some confirmation that the industry ads that may remain here are only here by oversite and are likely not helping the advertiser.

I wondered about that. The first two days that the ads were up there were all kinds of 'teen help', 'troubled teen', 'troubled children' (chicken :smile: ). Now they only show up in a few of the fora or threads.

Somehow Ginger thinks this is all okay. Again, watch, this thread will be deleted or moved. Yet, it contains no slander, just facts.

Somehow you think you're my daddy or something? Can't you find a better hobby than following me around trying to control what I do and say?
And the anon is right. I haven't deleted any threads. I MOVED one or two over to the Web Forum Hosting forum (on topic) AND left posts w/ the same topic containing links to the moved threads.
