You may have noticed that we have recently been testing advertisements on the forums. We've run all kinds of (sketchy?!) ads, and have decided to try a new method. User Supported ads.
You can now mosey on over to the Cash Shop and buy the billboard item. When you use it, you'll be prompted for a 480x90 image, and a URL to link it to.
Right now, all ads must be approved before they display on the forums. What kind of ads can you run? Ads for your shop, your cult, your friends birthday, maybe just a message to all the forum goers? ;) If it's not allowed, you'll know when it gets rejected. (You'll get your cash shop credits back)
Note: Right now we are trying to keep ads limited to Subeta, or at least Virtual Pet Site content. This is only a test run, and we may allow more content in the future :)

Just a question: Once you submit an ad, how long does it run before it's permanently taken down?

It's not KINDA another way to get money. IT IS another way to get money, which the site needs right now to pay its staff and continue to develop new FREE features for you all to enjoy. Personally, I'm happy to see people get excited about interesting ideas such as this.

Well this is interesting. Going to be fun to see this in action. But it would make sense that it would work. Adverting companies have been trying to invade niche' communities for awhile now. Who better to figure out what you might be interested in then people that like the same thing as you. Let's see how the principle will work in practice.

Oh, what a fantastic idea!! I'm actually kinda looking forward to seeing these ads now! <img src="http://www.subeta.ws:8080/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
Great idea, this will definitely make people LOL in the forums when the funny ads start popping up. You still get cash, we get better NON sketchy ads, It's a win win <img src="http://www.subeta.ws:8080/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
