That would actually allow a BANNER from the FAREST of FAR LEFT WING websites to display on it's website? I understand people like to generate money by hosting banners, but you've got to be kidding me. This Army veteran would never, EVER support a site that promotes those who call General Petraeus, "General Betray Us" MoveON is scum, please do something about removing their banner from your rotation.  |

Woody has no control over what advertisements come up on this site. The software Proboard uses puts them up based on content of the thread. All of us (well, except for a few) may put down Obama but the fact his name is one here gets us pro Obama adds, nothing can be done about it. If Woody was a multi-millionare and could afford to pay for the service without adds then you wouldn't see them, that's the price for free web hosting.

right, I asked the same question awhile back and Woody explained to me that have having the ad banners makes the site MUCH more affordable to operate. Woody has no control over what advertisements come up on this site. The software Proboard uses puts them up based on content of the thread.

dbd870 is correct. This is a free board from ProBoard and as such they can run banner ads across the top. Believe me, we have had some doozy ads up there. I started this board so hunters in Indiana and elsewhere would have a nice place to gather and converse. It is not like a lot of others in that it wasn't started with the intent to make money. I do not charge members for links to their hunting related businesses that you see at the top and the bottom of the pages. I do ask that they link back to here. IOW - It is not a money maker at all. I'm retired and on fixed income so I do have to watch my dollars spent. This site doesnt cost a whole lot to keep up, but it still does cost some. The ownership of the Hunting-Indiana.com name costs me $25 a year, Photobucket Pro is $25 a year, and the biggie is mostly in postage to ship prizes that various manufacturers and friends have donated for contests. I really can not afford to make Hunting-Indiana "ad free" from ProBoards. Do what most of us do and just igniore the ads, unless one does strike your fancy to check out. I figure Moveon.org is wasting money advertisting here so that is one bright spot.  Thanks for your comment, WW |

I thought that was the brightest spot of all, Woody.
We can't reach a lot of folks who donate to the other side, but if we can use some of their own money to help get our message out as hunters, or at least let them waste it advertising to us, that works out to about the same thing. Sorta like letting PETA buy an ad on the Outdoor Channel. That would be some of their money poorly spent, and is about the same as money never collected.

If everyone had to pay dues to remain on the site, it would not be as interesting and as informative as it is, so I really don't care. Nobody has any control over what ads pop up, but they help keep things really affordable, so I don't mind looking at ones I disagree with and laughing about the fact that they are a waste of electrons around here. P.S. Woody--thanks so much for your financial contributions to helping this site stay up! We really appreciate it. |

I thought the funniest ads were the "gay cruise" they were trying to sell.
I don't think you will see too many gay folks on a site like this!

Maybe for fun we should start a thread and post whatever we want to see what type of banner ads we can make show up.

This is a hunting site and it is a political site. I suppose there are far far far far left wing people here. What bothers me is right wing leftist. Intolerence only breeds the same and that means the end of the hunter. Intolerence is what gave us the far far far left. History proves it.
The more a society pushes in one direction the harder it will swing back. Right-left, Far right-Far left, Far Far Right-Far Far left... You could break the 1000's of years mold and be different, some how I doubt it.

You feel hunters should be the MOST conservative population out there(far far far-right winged)? |

We'll let him waste the money here. I still can't believe you don't see him for the gun-grabber he is. Read the latest column from LaPierre; LaPierre lays it out very well how Hussien is very closely connected to Soros.... Soros wants your guns more than anybody on the face of the earth. |
