DC Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I am running a video ad on VGR Forum for the next 2-3 days. I know it's a bit annoying but it helps pay the bill and it is at least video gaming related. Thanks for understanding and thanks for helping make VGR the best gaming community on the net! 🙂 StaceyPowers, Shagger, killamch89 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagger Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 That's totally fair. And like you said, it is gaming related, so it's appropriate. There is one really annoying thing about it, though. If one closes down the pop-up without muting it first, the audio will keep playing until the add has finished it's play cycle in the background with no way to shut it off. I don't know if that's a fixable problem or not or if it's even worth fixing given the add will only run for a couple of days, I just wanted to point that out to everyone in case they do what I first did.

killamch89 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 We have no issues with that. I mean if EA can put ads in their games I don't see why you running one gaming related ad will be an issue to us. Gonassis and DC 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, how many forum administrators would even discuss it with their members? @DC is the best 🙂 Gonassis, DC and Head_Hunter 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Just intersted, Are you making anything from it? It's annoying me to the point that I have to mute my PC so that I can't hear it playing as I'm posting around. There are other methords that to that video, add more ads that does not popup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head_Hunter Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I've witnessed the ad pop up, at the moment I have no problem with the ad provided it's of utmost important to the admin. I visit many sites everyday simply surfing for information, I don't mind if the site runs 100s of ads on the site provided the information I want is there. DC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
