Discuss here and agree for KMC to remove the lysol advertisement as well as the other videos with audio that pops up almost every time you refresh the page.

What are you going to do to replace the income that these adds generate for KMC? Should we change it so that we have to pay to post?

Without the ads all of the money to maintain the site would come out of Raz's pocket.

These just started recently. The advertisements before were not annoying.

there was no problem with the advertisements before.

my point is raz should use other advertisers like the ones before without the audio. like the netflix one or the disney dvd ones or something with no sound

I know what you are talking about, but this is not my home, and I am just a guest here.

Moved to the correct forum.

Anyway, with most ad rotation things that are available, the owner of the site where the ads are displayed does not actually choose which ones show up. And there have been ones that play audio in the past; there was a thread to post those so that Raz could remove them but I don't see it right now.

And really, Adblock. Problem solved for good.

Raz did not allow that, the Comic Vs. mods did, and it was only voted on by members who frequent that forum.

You claim that you have Raz's Facebook, cell number and you text him. So why need us?

I do hate that damn Halloween one though. It happens at least twice a day. It always happens at the wrong time so it always scares the shit outta me because I am watching something with the volume up. It also makes my parrot jump 5 feet every time

What type of maintenance has to be done? Indexing should be automatic...the physical server is in, what, Houston? (Raz is in the UK.) There's the electicity costs but I think Raz's partner takes care of that. On top of that, I do not think the minor updates/changes done are cutting into his real world job.

Eliminating one ad or asking the group that pushes that ad, to remove it from their ad tasks, at least for KMC, is not a tall order, at all, and it a very common request from website owners. It will quickly be replaced with a less intrusive ad IF it is removed.


I don't see why that would be needed, though. Why not just use adblocker in Firefox? Block the ads you don't like. It's a piece of cake...no..."piece of crumb cake." big grin

After a day its not removing the ads anymore, what gives?

Rogue Jedi
So lemmee get this straight. The ad's are there for money, I know this. But if someone blocks them, KMC still gets paid when that person signs on?

Adds are already paid for. If no one logs log, money is still taken, though the reason companies are paying Raz to show their adds is due to the traffic this place gets.

If you made a website and only your grandmother visited it, you'd have a hard time having McDonalds pay you to have an add of theirs displayed, considering it gets one visitor.

Haha @ Chomper claiming to have a Bromance going on with Raz.

HOW THE HELL DO THESE AD ONS STAY ARGH!!! Evey time when I restart my PC It doesn't block or have the option anymore. I get this damn annoying knocking sound now with a damn homeless kid begging me for money. I have tried a few browsers.
