The ads we have a very non invasive, a handful of $10 doesnt add up

That is an LARGE sum of people who would constantly need to do that per month in order to equate to the 46 advertisers at min level advertising charges we have (most arent at min level), and it would create an extreme level of my time and effort to do those things. when i could get another advertiser and bring on a brand working on giveaways etc.

there are numerous other issues with name changes, but i wont go into further detail

Im not sure how it works on your other forum but it isnt worth it here.

I would go with Believe the person who is in charge of all marketing and advertising on this site that your best way to help us is to turn off ad blocker
its free to you to do that,

if you dont want too no problem.

I confess I do not know much about how online advertising works.
Doesn't a user actually need to click on an ad to generate revenue for the site?

No, if you choose to click an ad because youre interested in the ad itself, and purchase from them thats cool
but that doesnt generate our payment.

The only ads we run are cannabis related businesses, be it lighting, nutrients, seedbanks etc

What does that have to do with anything? I stated a fact. Third party extensions often track you across the internet. Many people that install ad blockers don't understand that because they don't bother to read the privacy statement to know what data may or may not be collected by said ap.

My using google or not has nothing to do with anything. Plus you can change the privacy and security settings to prevent google from tracking you. I don't use Apple anything so I don't know about that. If you use Microsoft Bing you can adjust the privacy settings the same as you can with google.

You did state a fact, But its like saying well he died of drowning but he also had a sinus infection......You cannot adjust google from tracking you, nor can you with apple, all im saying is it's a moot point to be tracked by abp or others when google tracks 100% of what you do online, the only browsers that do not track your info is duck duck go and aloha but even then google has its claws into over 92% of the top 75% of all websites on the planet. Like I said, if your online your being tracked....

I've also been involved in internet marketing since Alta Vista was a thing and Google didn't exist, also owned/run some big forums. So i do know a bit about the topic.

There wouldn't be an extreme level of your time, you automate this stuff and make money hands off. There's a whole username change management system for XenForo along with an addon to make username changes paid. If only 20 people a month done this at $20 a change then $400/mo for doing nothing adds up fast and knocks a chunk off your server bill.

Same with a "Rollitup Supporter" badge, someone in this thread already asked how can they donate. You would be surprised just how many people would pay $20 a year in appreciation of this site just to have a supporter badge. It's been a great success and solid revenue source on forums we have implemented it on. Again all automated, a user pays and they get automatically upgraded to the supporter usergroup.

But it's no skin off my nose as they say. I don't intentionally block ads here, but i do have a hard block via Windows HOSTS file so a lot of ads and bad domains don't show for me.

You may have knowledge for YOUR forums

But again theres reasons why we at Rollitup dont change user names, and you dont know the ins and outs of our financial

It isnt "doing nothing"

As another user stated we alreadytried the supporter thing, it didnt pan out it still is my time, managing 20+ userstheir user name changes, their private forum for their supporter badge is more time on me.

I dont seem to be making any progress with this convo lol
