Good morning,
Please don’t take this the wrong way as I know that it is annoying when someone new comes along and says how about changing what you have been doing for the last few years.
I see that the adverts are supplied by adchoice, have you ever thought about offering advert space directly.
This could be across the whole site, on one Section such as "Biscuit Bar" or "Trading my way to a million" or even create a new Section called something like "Site Sponsors".
I certainly appreciate that doing this would be more work, especially as the adverts would need to be hosted on the TLF site as most ad blockers will not block images on the domain visited.
The "Site Sponsors" section seems the simplest as once payment is received you could create the starter thread, the advertiser could add an image link to his site in the first reply and once a month you could simply delete the threads that represent old adverts.
Clearly the number of users here is relatively low, i.e. not in the millions, and some users will not see the adverts as they are paid members or choose not to visit the sponsors section.
Only you know what prices would make sense, for each of the options, but if there was a board in say the Lemon Lounge section called "Site Sponsors" as described above would anyone look at once every few weeks or be interested in advertising on it?
Bye
Ian
