You guys have no idea how much this site helps with decisions and planning. Sometimes it's taken with a laugh, but the valid points you bring up help alot. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

OK, thanks. I think I'll leave them alone for now, but I'll keep the CSS solution in reserve in case they start to become really annoying. No more are planned to be added for the foreseeable future. I do it to break even, not personal profit... and buy dinner for our KIC meetings at Red HoF Grill.... or Chipotle. Tapatalk still shows as page views in analytics, there is a different dashboard to view tapatalk usage. I too have the fav.ico "battle" eachother too even though our root and forums has the KI fav.ico placed in it. Tapatalk would not create revenue from website ads, but they have their own advertisement/monetization system for forum owners (which Dane might want to look into if he hasn't already). Note that those who paid for Tapatalk Pro (previously Tapatalk 4) before Pro was discontinued now have VIP benefits in the free app, meaning (among other things) that they do not see ads on any forum, even if the forum owner has enabled them. I am one of those users, since I bought Tapatalk 4 right after release when it was on sale for $0.99 and there was no free version (other than the no-longer-supported public beta). We are enrolled in it for people that use the free tapatalk. The pro users do not see any ads regardless if we opted in or not.

Goble my best guess is credit will still be provided for the view, although actual clicks generate much more revenue. This is also a experiment as both Adsense and Analytics both track page views. Therefore you can see how many users are using ad blocking programs. Members originally not being shown ads goes back to when it was recommended to us to start a "premium program" for users.

I know it's a unpopular decision but ad payouts arnt what they used to be, expecially during the off season. This is all the ads their will ever be. I hate pop ups, pop unders, or any new which way they are sneeking ads in on people. KIC will never accept/ask for donations, we would rather be the ones donating to your Coasting for Kids pages as we have done in the past. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

There has always been ads used to finance the server/domains, they were just turned off to logged in users. They are now turned back on to logged in users, that's all. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

There are a few photos with it in the background in the History Section of KIC. I have never seen any photos from the inside of it though. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

A jail per say... No. Holding/interview rooms yes.

Ryan and I have played with that Delirium model before... Edit: I remember now, It was at a Winter Soar Off season event. It was on display before the event started.

This was the post I was waiting on The Interpreter to write. When I heard of it I thought two things, Insurance and profitability. I'm fairly certain it was operating at a loss or break even after operating expenses were paid.

When Kings Island closes it's not a huge deal to me as football season is just ramping up entertainment wise. When football season comes to a end though is when it difficult. I guess it's not too soon to start planning for Reds Opening day.

^It like everything backstage had a Paramount logo slapped on it. Just in case you forgot which park you worked for.

Cool find. Thanks for sharing!

I knew I forgot something when I saw the announcement. I'll get this on the home page tonight. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

I have them set up to backup to my personal home server every week. Pay a third party site to back up nightly onto my second server and the host does a backup every 3 or 4 days. I'd say we have a pretty good backup plan.

Its Google Adsense ads, if you see another one on KIC please take screenshot it and send it to me. I will look for the Hot Europeans and deal with them. /pun

Not at all. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

I'd like to go back to the day and what the conversation was like that we decided to go there. I remember it being jam packed from floor to ceiling with Christmas stuff, than you would enter a whole new room of more Christmas stuff, than another room. I think the joke we made is it was just like grandmas house if grandma was a very organised hoarder who liked to display her stuff.

I don't belive so. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

Terp, If you want to play with the new forums software version you can here: http://zend.ipsdevserver.com/ips4/

As I told Interpreter, we are gonna make another server change. I'm just waiting till the offseason to do it.

I see both sides of the argument but as others have said before, it either has to be in forced every single time for every single person but will also always result in bad media and guest satisfaction. At that time is the few dollars difference worth it? Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

Name the server Maverick and name the RAM sticks after my grand kids? Hmmmm. As I've said before IPS 4.0 was supposed to be out at the beginning of the year, and yet we are still waiting on it. Latest I've got from them is its about to go public beta, which we may or may not participate in.

Well this went better than expected.
