I see all kinds of depraved shit at the bottom on each page... again dating sites, hot girls, random jacked up memes... fun times.

I get those as well.

Andy has some great points, particularly with design in regards to SEO. Lot of potential revenue being missed.

I'm a Varsity Club member and don't see ads.

I'm glad it's working properly on your end.

I remember Wiz and another poster or two reporting that they were seeing ads despite being Varsity Club members. I think it happened when the ad formatting changed on the website a few months ago, so maybe it was a temporary blip.

Are you sure, or is that just your standard secondary window?

One thing i like that some boards do (r/cfb) for instance is they run a twitter account that highlights funny posts/memes posters on their board produce. I feel like tons of good content is posted on here that deserves to get out to a wider ND audience. Would take a bit of work though and not sure who'd want to take that on without getting anything back from it.

I've proposed an IE Twitter account before, simply as an asylum (ducks from political debris) in the instance that our site suddenly crashes or disappears with no explanation.

People could follow it, get in touch with it, or interact with it if necessary.

We also have a reddit board available, but no one uses it since the site is operating *fine* right now.

Worse than a heroin addict without a fix for a day, withdrawal symptoms from IE can incapacitate IE members in a matter of minutes. The mind goes crazy. you throw caution to the wind and jump over to NDNation for a quick fix until your regular dealer shows back up at the local street corner.

The last time we had an IE blackout, I preferred the symptoms of withdrawal. I was not heading over to that place.

I find I like to take a sabbatical every now and then... I've taken a month or so off a number of times in the last five years, even decided to have some fun with it once and act like Big Brother abducted me...

I haven't ever taken that much time off, but I do take week long breaks from time to time.

I do often take breaks from posting and simply become a lurker.

It's kind crazy how connected to the IE community you become though.

Speculation: One of the recent user deletes is back under the name Sea Turtle.

Reason: I posted about Sea Turtles in the Trump thread last night.

Coincidence: Maybe

Likelihood of Coincidence: Low

Mods?

Can we take bets on which one it is? Open a vBookie!

All of our detective tools seem to show Sea Turtle as a unique user... for now.

An endangered species?


In troubled waters?


A mock turtle pissing in the soup?

Then the Queen left off, quite out of breath, and said to Alice, "Have you seen the Mock Turtle yet?"

"No," said Alice. "I don't even know what a Mock Turtle is."

"It's the thing Mock Turtle Soup is made from", said the Queen.

I tend to take a sabbatical every year during this dead period. No reason in particular. Just find myself clicking here less often. Then I dip my toe back in an inevitably get sucked right back in for the start of the season.

It was definitely the government and I’m convinced you’re not really you.

Well, I'm with you on this. Remember the time, a couple years back, when ACamp told the story about the aliens and then he disappeared?

Cack had a huge demeanor shift back in early 2017. Was it really the election, or did aliens replace him? And if so, was HRC colluding with aliens?

They're not aliens, damn it. Have you no compassion, YJ?

They're undocumented posters.

 

[SonofOahu]

We're all shocked.

Edit: I shouldn't post after being up for almost 24 hours. I'd have sworn it was ACamp who posted about loving the Chinese dating sites and I thought I was replying to him.

Hahaha. Dude loves him some Asians, for sure.

No matter how long one is sober, one will always be an addict.

You and many others do something similar. Bottom line is that there just isn't much going on after the spring game and school year wraps up.

Historically, traffic on the site hits a low from like May through July... then steadily starts ramping up in August, is strong from September through February peaking in late January and early February for NSD, then it sort of crashes back down to August levels from February through the spring game in April. I haven't checked what exactly the pattern was last year with the two signing periods, but I'm guessing it didn't change much except having a less severe peak in February and high sustained traffic around the first signing day.

If memory serves me correctly, we have about 5x as many people on the site during the winter as we do in the middle of summer on average.

I'm glad it's working properly on your end.

I remember Wiz and another poster or two reporting that they were seeing ads despite being Varsity Club members. I think it happened when the ad formatting changed on the website a few months ago, so maybe it was a temporary blip.

Nope, it's still broken. The top banner ad is removed like it's supposed to, but I still get ads at the bottom of the screen. It only happens when I'm viewing threads, not on the Front Page, User CP, or New Posts.

Those ads may be unfixable, unless there is a lot of customization available to our Admins as to what post previews are shown in that preview box.

It has ads embedded, obviously, but IDK if you can turn that off without turning off all post previews at the bottom of each thread.

lol at CT chimney experts....bots be lurking.

 

[IrishLion]

I use an adblocker, and it successfully blocks that entire preview/ad box on each page. I only see those when I'm on my phone.

So it IS a giant ad box... it just so happens that a majority of the ads are previews for other IE content.

I'll send word up the chain of command and see if Pham can get in touch with the owners.

So were Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith really just glorified ICE agents with super cool guns?

Who are Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith of whom you speak?

I pondered your question but drew a blank ... there was only a distant image of a bright light.
