You only need to look at KB now, to see the bot activity, generating ad money where no people actually see an ad.
Can you expound on what you mean by this? I use ad blockers, so I don't see the stuff that others see.
Last time I looked, KB had over 500 guests. I wasn't logged in for once, and saw the total wasteland the guest display is, with ads every other other post. Either that's 500 insane people reading the forum, or its 450+ bots.
Tim, if you're looking at kb and can check. Does sending a pm still invite a sql injection attack? I'd like to send a pm, but that was a problem recently and there's no word on a fix.
I've not sent one there in a week or 2 or 3, so haven't seen this. Not even sure what a sql injection attack is.
This forum, for instance. Even if Timothy were to put ads on here, as long as it's not absolutely plastered all over the place, I would still leave Adblock off.
The only ads likely to be here in the future, are in-house ads. I've had cover designers ask for ad space for example. Its on the list. But there will never be any external ads here.
