They just don't want to fill the site with ads since it becomes annoying and often brings opposite results.

Let them do what they want. Having many ads is annoying and we can't be able to focus on our works because we are tempted to wander the other sites where we can earn through the ads. The outcome is, we can't focus. The admins know what is right for us and for the site.

There are couple of ads on this forum.Maybe the admins don't want to make the forum unclean and slow.However if someone is using Adblock then stop adblocking this forum because they won't earn some money..

Overload the page with ads and it'll run slow. Use too few ads and you can't pay your traffic fees. You gotta hit a middle point. I would not be against having a fourth ad in the middle of the page, though, because I know that brings revenue.

Too many ads are annoying and result of having a user with adblock,

I think admin is making the site more professional than looks rubbish.

Rubbish look vs Professional look, I prefer professional look than rubbish look. that's why I like forumcoin

As others have said we do try and balance the need to look good and the need to make money.

The reasons are that if the site is overloaded it will look bad and put people off from joining, returning and referring people. We do very minimal advertising for the site so we rely on members promoting us. We therefore need to keep as many users active and encourage users to promote us. A clean looking site is one way to help do this.

Secondly if we have a few ads that are well places and unobtrusive then there is less chance of people using adblock on our domain. We have 3 ads (top right, top middle and bottom middle (when viewing topics)) and we try to ensure that they are not too annoying and get in the way. We don't use flashing banners, those banners saying you have won a free ipad or with fake download buttons. We also don't use popups for the same reason.

We could make so much more money if we wanted to through advertising but we do plan and introduce advertising slowly and do it right. We could place a load of ads and force users to disable adblock but that really is not our style. We do however hope that users will disable adblock purely because to support us and because we do work hard to get a good balance when it comes to advertising where it isn't too annoying.

We do try and be a it different compared to most of the other similar sites out there. We try to be as honest and as open as possible and consider our members rather than just focusing on ourselves. Many sites fail on those 2 points straight away.

If this forum is depended on members, why do you still decreasing rewards - that would kill the forum.

Because keeping the rewards the same would kill the forum also. We pay out more than we get from advertising anyway and while that is ok as we are growing, we can't be paying out too much as we don't have a bottomless pit of money or a money tree. We still get hundreds of posts daily so decreasing the rewards to more a suitable amount hasn't killed the forum. It is better that we pay out less and stay online rather than payout more and then close the site because it is costing too much. Paying 1-3 cents per post which takes 30-60 seconds to write is more rewarding and fun than ptc sites or bitcoin faucets are. Atleast here you can meet new people, learn new things and have a bit of fun.

We would love to not have cut the rates but really it was our only option.

Even tho it´s money making projects. More ads = more money = possibly more money for us.

It's not all about advertising, affiliates, and monetization schemes. The best way to make more money, for the site and ultimately for us, is to write better posts. Too many people write a word or two or just a short sentence that has no content in it. They don't care about the site, but they will be among the first to complain if an online money making opportunity cuts rates or eventually can't pay.

If people want money sites to continue growing, they need to do their part and stop taking advantage. Fergal and Cyber simply cannot manually approve every post, so it's up to us to make good posts and report spam, scams, and other garbage posts.

More ads will slow down things and make it difficult in posting.It will be like posting between ads and that will be hard to post here.

We wouldn't mind even if they added more ads because this website is one of the best paid to write/post .
