Just wondering... Is this a permanent change, or something experimental?

 

[KR...]

just notice them, I guess they just put them up.

Looks like it's only in the member's forum. I haven't checked all the other forums though. The placement is kinda annoying but not as bad as avsforum or something like that.

A new feature? Or has Google hacked into Head-fi?

Anyone notice Bose.com ad there?

What's next Monster cable sponsorship?

Heh, if it pays the bills. I'm pretty sure this place is costing jude a gajillion dollars a month to keep running. As long as there aren't online dating or "enhancement" type ads, I can deal. (ya know, the ones revolving around the male member)

Still, it does feel weird. Plus the paint scheme doesn't match.

I have no problem with them either. Pays the bills and all. I'm used to them all over the place anyway. Actually for a change of pace I would preffer Yahoo or Ebay adds instead.

I guess things must be going downhill, first ads, then a drop back to only 20 posts/page.

 

[PTheD]

Why does dropping the number of posts per page indicate a "cut back" so to speak? The bandwidth that sending expra posts/page uses or what?

I think that the extra posts tend to tax the server resources more to generate so probably as a stop gap, Jude has cut them back to keep things running more smoothly...

I don't see them...


Nonetheless, it's great, it help's jude pay the bills.

Yeah, surely the sign of the apocalypse. Actually, it is a good idea. Even just a few extra bucks a month helps support hosting this site at a tier-1 data center on enterprise class hardware.

And also to enjoy the irony of getting money from a "sponsor" whose products get bashed here on a regular basis.

or the irony of getting most click-through via head-fi

 

[KR...]

Whatever works is cool by me, if anyone doesn't like it they can just pay Jude's bill if they like

 

[RYCeT]

Not a problem here. Other forums have more ads than head-fi.
