I notice on each form that someone writes this person puts ads on. I didn't think you could do that.

While reading and replying to posts lately, (such as this one), I've observed that the "adbot" posts follow the last posted message. One followed yours however, I doubt that you are adding these ads. Instead, it looks like an automated function of a "bot" that posts "ads".
-
The AdBot is not a person! It's FusionCash's doing. You'll notice a lot of random ads have popped up in the forums as of late. I think they're just trying to be cute by pretending "AdBot" is a forum user. The more ads blend in, the more likely people are to click them (except me, who ignores them all regardless).

LOL the AdBot
Beep Boop

I don't like this new idea of advertising. I don't think it has a place in the forum. This whole site (FC) is advertising, I would like to have the forum ad-free.
-
Obviously FC is making money on it, or they wouldn't allow it in these posts. I do agree, however, that discussions should be ad free. Like most others, I just ignore it. At least this site doesn't have all the anoying pop-ups that other sites do.
-
It's a way for FC to make money, and we make money. I don't see any harm in it at all. :)
-
i agree whit you am triying to get the way it work,,would you be able to get me some tips..on fusion cash :dontknow:
-
I didn't even notice him until he was pointed out. I guess whatever it is I really do not have an issue with it...and if it keeps fusioncash giving us better deals, I'm for it!
-
It is anoying. I try to ignore it.
-
I think like everything else, things will change. I think that you just have to just overlook them. I also think that if it is a way for FC to make some money that is great because that means the site will continue to be here for other to use. I also think that you have to figure that you are going to get ads in the anything that you do online today.

It's asking a lot, you know: we already pay 10c per post in the forum, and you want them to have no ads at all? We've gotta offset those costs somehow...

Admin - I'm with you on this one. The more adds the better if you can continue to pay the forum bonus. This is a great site you have set up.
-
I side with the Admin on this issue, they pay each user that qualifys $3.00 month X maybe THOUSANDS of members and they ask for very little in return, except to follow the rules and now to see the ADBOT, in my opinion it is a small price to pay for a quality site such as FC............trust me, there are a lot more WORSE site out there. :BangHead:
-
The adbot is much like a TV ad; advertisers pay the 'station', (FC), to 'sponsor' their 'programming', (the site, in general). It's capitalism at work and, as Admin mentioned, helps to defray the costs of running FC.
-
I think the Adbot is cute. I just might click an ad sometime too if I find it interesting.

Admin is completely right in this! Although, I wouldn't say you pay 10 cents per post (this might give new people the wrong impression that 10 posts is $1 or 50 posts is $5, ect when its 30 or more posts for $3, period no more no less) but $3 a month for those that post 30+ times a month is gonna add up to ALOT of money! Why not have an ad in the forum that is not a pop up, doesnt move or make noise, and is just there? SO WHAT!! not a big deal, every website has ads, ususaly 100x more annoying then this, which really isnt annoying at all unless you dwell on it.

lol I almost reported him when I first saw him but noticed he seemed to be a permanent fixture so didn't. FC has to do what they need to to keep their revenues coming in. I'm not complaining it keeps us paid.
-
I did notice the adbot but really did not pay attention to it.
It's the admin's forum .... if he wants to put the adbot on the forum to help with costs ... he can.
-
Yea its a Fusion Cash thing. Its actually very annoying too :angry7:
-
I really have not noticed it and probably would not have until I read this post. It doesn't bother me. Just like commercials- I only watch (or read) the ones that interest me.
-
Its just bot with ads that pays FC to post :icon_rr:
-
Thanks for all the information. I thought about reporting the posts initially too, but realized what it was and did not. If it keeps me getting paid to post - I'm all for it.
-
Hey, if it helps offset the cost for the payout from forum post - Welcome! Adbot....lol
