    Ads on LitNet

    This is a question for the people in charge here:

    There are always ads on this site, or at least links to other intertnet sites. For example, as I post here, it says "Who's your Soul Mate? and there is a link to the site LoveSoulMate.

    When I log on to LitNet and start reading threads there are links above to various sites and it seems like sometimes the sites that are posted here are directly related to subject matter I might have posted in threads.

    I noticed when I was posting the Smoking and Drinking thread, which has dropped to the bottom of the list in General Chat, there were links to related sites at the top of the page

    Just an observation. Do we have a lot of members as compared to other forums? I come here just because I really enjoy it and I have a literature background (sort of).

    This forum has lots more members than another I belong to, and less than another still. Actually it's just right. The one with less feels at times like a morgue (but I still like because there are several friends there whose company I enjoy) and the other is so large that I no longer go to because I can't connect with anyone. This seems just right to build friendships and keep things happening.

    Very true, this is the first forum where I've been able to make real acquaintances and friends where there are jokes that everyone on the Lit-Net will know, where I don't feel weird PMing somebody for no reason at all. On others you don't recognize people, and they don't recognize you and really those are sometimes good for information and such but there is no emotional/social investment as I've found to be true on the Lit-Net.

    Ads are the ones who enable us to enjoy this forum for free. . Don't mean to say I like them though.

    I wasn't really complaining about the ads so much as I was observing their presence and wondering how they seemed to go along with the subject matter in the threads so well. I was wondering what technology enables that. It's odd, because there was a link to some site in my hometown and I am not sure i ever posted that here! Is Big Brother watching? (sorry I get paranoid sometimes).

    But, yes, I realize that the ads make LitNet possible. My dad actually started a forum site a few years ago and he gets posts ads on it from people around town. I don't participate in his because it's his thing (I did contribute a graphic though )
