Happy new year! Please help me by answering a few questions

Post by hcm_aj »

Hi! Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a great start to the new year. :D

I've been absent this past year; we'll talk about that later. :)

For now, I have a few questions. :?:
What browser do you usually use, and do you use ad blockers?
If you don't use ad blockers, can you still see the ads?
Recently, ad revenue dropped significantly, and I was wondering how you typically navigate the website.

Just to clarify, we don't earn anything, the site barely keep online... sometimes hehe ...

Happy New Years to you too and Welcome back! You forgot to remove the quote of this message that contains the link of the scammer:
viewtopic.php?p=5762#p5762

Including the hacked account that contains the scammer link:
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=948

Me and Tetchi was wondering when your going to add more mods, since Viket visit this forum from time to time, and very rare you visit this forum too.

About the browser
I use like about 4 different browser, depending how the website runs, and if they support the browser or not.

Now a day, an Ad blocker is a must to have, since some website like:
  • Google,
  • Youtube,
  • Amazon,
  • Walmart,
  • News,
  • Blogs,
  • and so much more

spams their site with ads, making your experiences bad, navigating the site worst.
Not saying all websites do, but the majorly are abusing ads to get easy money.
Not to mention Ai Slop ads, and hackable ads that runs hidden script to steal your credentials.

To answer your questions:
1. I use Google chrome and yes, but only for some websites
2. I can still see ads but if you're meaning to ask if I can see ads on this website, then yes

Now that I've done that, just like UmbreonLover said, this website is in desperate need of moderators seeing as you're pretty much never around and Viket is only one person who has other things to do than be a lone wolf moderating this website all day.

Thanks for your answer!
Regarding the topic and the hacked user, I've already deleted the message and temporarily deactivated the account. I'll see if I can contact him.

And about the moderators, you're right, we need more people. I've had a shitty year, and Viket probably has his own personal issues, so he can't always be active.
Would you like to be a moderator, UmbreonLover?
Or do you have someone else in mind who might be reliable for the position?

Since I visit this forum nearly twice a day, I wouldn't mind serving as a moderator. If you don't think I'm fit for the job, I recommend Tetchi as a mod.
You did ask about this a long time ago but never made a decision to accept it or reject it, beside people in this forum recommending me as a mod too lol
