The reason why we are doing this is to attempt to hide all the porn behind a wall so google doesn't take away our advertisement. I can return the forums back to the way they were if you want to ban all porn.
Why hide the screenshots and rickshaw forums?

Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Here's the point though. Those lurkers who never post, but come here to look at pictures don't contribute to the community. Sure they may pad the traffic sites, but traffic means nothing if it doesn't generate ad revenue to support the site.
I could put everything back to the way it was if you can guarantee that 50-70% of the regular posters pay a subscription year round and never cancel. I doubt you could get enough people to do that, and I'd feel uncomfortable asking that.
That makes a lot more sense than trying to get us lurkers to post. At least I can sleep tonight, I thought SS had died again.

The traffic wasn't really my point from the other post - I was thinking more of us not growing user-base because of the forum not being seen.

Sounds like we should e-mail Tyen and see if he can gets us more unique visitors and page views to up the sites revenue stream.
Why not use adult-friendly ads in the SS forum instead of google ads? Google isn't the only source of revenue in the world.
Must have 5 post to see the screenshots I been lurking in for years. Coulda sworn I did post number 2 yesterday, guess not.

Unless you know an advertisement/marketing firm that will give a good rated contract for traffic, porn friendly ads are 4-6 times less than google ads on average.

You guys should change "See comments/suggestions" to "Seethis thread".
I know that sounds kind of stupidly obvious, but it makes it stick out more. I've had referral links several times before, and you'd be surprised how much adding something derpishly simple as "click here" improved results.

No one wants to pay attention to this post. Either deal with it, or be ready to contribute through the link. Someone has to pay for bandwidth, and to quote Req from the other site, FOH was the equivalent of HIV because of all the porn. No legit advertisers would touch it.

how does the online ad world work in 2013? The no-porn-for lurkers makes sense, since its really to not allow googlebot to see porn images and not really lurkers. But then aren't you hurting yourself by not allowing a lot of lurkers to factor into views/clicks for ads? I don't get the registration thing at all, ads don't care if someone is registered on reroll or not, they have their own cookies to track that shit across the web - which is why I keep seeing papa john ads now since I ordered a pizza last weekend.
it used to be that you wanted tons of eyeballs and people to click on ads, is that still true or is the online ad world a lot different? are ads really able to pay for rerolled server/bandwidth or is it costing you a ton more than the ads are bringing in?
