Ad Discussion

[Haramburger]

Are you gonna pull a hiro and start banning everything that isnt advertisement friendly?

the funniest thing about this was threads featuring hiro naked getting sucked off by trannies and animals with the text and replies of
"oh, this isn't A D V E R T I S E R - F R I E N D L Y"

I never had a problem with ads and said as such a few months ago. I would like a few prank ads mixed in if possible, like the banner we've got atm & things null personally likes, like a banner for a video game or something that doesn't necessarily generate revenue. Kind of like random.txt, but #nullsinterests or a meme banner every 1/20? This could also generate extra clicks because people might refresh the same page a dozen times to see what funny things you've hidden in the collective pool, which feeds the advertising cycle/click counter. I wish every once in awhile with ads on a forum I saw something like a banner for DOTA2 or a .gif of squirting porn where the woman has a Doge face and the person getting squirted on has ResetEra on their face.

Do you have discretion over what ads are shown, like a furry porn site ad or something?

No, but as I said, it's text only.

 

[drunk "Jedi master"]

sure I will turn off that pesky adblock for kiwifarms.net if it stays as a batter ad (footer ad would also be ok) and not embedded in comments ... and is not animated wish you the best of luck with your ads.

Approximately 450 bowls.

Did you factor in the sour cream and vodka?

 

[mindlessobserver]

From what I've been told, the ads will be text-only and unmoderated.

Oh good, I always needed to know where I could buy orphans from the third world.

 

[AbraCadaver]

Just seconding that a dark scheme would be nice

 

[Cubanodun]

A. No, the ad platform will cater to "publisher unfriendly advertisers" instead.

So if Stormfront decide to put ads here you will let them? i want to see the meltdown of the usual suspects

 

[FreeHugs]

Was mentioned before, but would be nice to have the design of the ads match with the website.

A barebones white rectangle with blue letters in the middle of a dark gray layout isn't very appealing.

 

[aFairlyOddFaggot]

As long as theres no pop up ads im ok. Also i like the placeholder ads.

They can buy ads here too with links to “their side of the story.”

Would it be possible for some Pajeets to buy ad slots for here, and link to their CRITICAL ALERT FROM MICROSOFT pages? While I would hope KF users would know not to click on that idiocy, I imagine there's someone out there who would use it as another excuse to say KF is DANGEROUS and crusade under that.

If that can happen, would we be able to report ads for malicious content?

I'm imagining a scenario some Dan Olson Folding Ideas type 4D underwater chess where someone buys ads for something that can get KF on trouble or give the impression of that. Given that someone is paying for weekly DDoS attacks here, I'd imagine it's within the realm of possibility.

On a visibility level, I'm on a botnet Chromium fork Android browser and the spot where the ad would appear is still visible, though the ad itself is not. I'd have to go into the firewall settings for my phone to test the banners themselves, which I'd do if it wasn't such a pain in the ass with my phone.

So, is there a set of domains/elements for the site that can be whitelisted in an adblocker or similar filter? It's roundabout, but I'm a sperg like that

Apologies for the amount of questions

 

[Null]

ok yes dark theme ad has been requested thank you

 

[uncleShitHeel]

I have questions and statements.

Firstly - can us austists buy ads? I've also thought this site could do with more Dad jokes, strobe GIFs and GIFs of buttholes swallowing things with googly eyes on each cheek.

Secondly - is there going to be dark themed ads? Seeing those ads while using dark theme is like walking past an alleyway seeing two hobos fucking.

Thirdly - can we sell ad space to Sammy(m) and Sammy(f)? Having their tugboats finance this place would be neat.

Finally - what did you get for your birthday?

 

[skiddlez]

I like how you've basically baited me into turning off adblocking so that I can read what these things say, good job.

If users are going to be able to submit ads you will probably bait many others into turning it off too.

 

[Kirito]

Do I get supporter status if I turn off that pesky adblock?

EDIT: I turned it off anyways

 

[Luigi]

Add more ads for people not logged in. Make those cows pay the upkeep of their threads.

From their code it looks like they have ambitions to do more than deliver static content.

ads.js:115: iframe.setAttribute('sandbox', 'allow-forms allow-pointer-lock allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation');

Since it's self-hosted, how do you pull the ads? As things are configured, I don't think ads can run scripts in the context of kiwifarms.net, only ads.kiwifarms.net, but they can still run arbitrary scripts.

And it does have some very rudimentary tracking features which fire on each scroll event and report whenever the ad is in view (but only once per page load). It also feeds Jewgle data by embedding their fonts when an ad isn't found.

 

[Banh Xeo]

User generated ads would be excellent, I will also whitelist Adblock for that

Why not just sell Russian girls yourself? Cut out the middle Vlad

Are you joking? Don't pretend to know more than you do. That sandbox tag does nothing more than basically unsandbox the iframe. It's literally the same as not having it.
