I don't make enough to be a sugar daddy. And unfortunately, girls don't seem to want a "high fructose corn syrup" daddy. :nonod:

 

That was not here? That was on "that other site"?

I didn't sell out "that" fast!!

 

I'm still on the first pot....sorry...paranoid.

 

Hay, Whats wrong with being a "high fructose corn syrup" daddy??? I work hard to maintain that classification.!!

 

like the old joke of a man asking a woman of she'd sleep with him for ten million dollars . "of course!" she answers. He goes on to ask her "would you for $500?". She gets offended and asks "what do you think I am?". He answers "we already established that, we are negotiating the price!"

 

I got a pm on that other site. still waiting for the ads to stop loading so the pm is visible. clicked it at 9 p.m.

 

What was the ad about? I don't see them with adblock, they don't even load actually.

 

That is cause I keep the advertising relevant to the site when ever possible. Sure, I could of placed huge Google ad banners and blocks all over but I'm not trying to eek out every possible dollar from every square pixel of screen space. This site is for you, the MINI Enthusiast, first and foremost.

That Google block there to the left...it made just enough in June to cover the hosting costs and get a $0.49 Coke from my local QT with a few pennies to spare.

 

yeah I was going to say, for a while now I've seen Chevy Malibu ads on display there.....how does that make any sense??? I think the Established Men ad is more relative to a Mini forum then a Chevy ad?? LOL

HAHA just went over "there" to see what banner add there was today and on the sidebar for Google Ads there is a link for the Suzuki SX4 ut: which if you recall in the commercial directly compares itself to the Mini by saying "The Suzuki SX4 is 'Mightier than the Mini' " :lol: :lol: talk about not belonging there!! :rolleyes5:

 

yeah i guess that is different than the banner ads, and i do realize its not exactly "harmful". Its just funny too see SX4 ads on a Mini site, talk about deliberate advertising! sheesh

 

To me the real issue is that many of the established vendors over on "that other site" are the ones taking it in the chin. The new banners IB allows from Google Adwords are larger and run in a more frequent rotation. You can refresh 20-25 times and not get a banner from one of the vendors that helped grow that site. To me thats a slap in the face to those that were there all along. I may not be a true born and raised Texan but I sure do understand "you dance with them that brung ya".

 

I thought it was "All hat, no cattle"

 

The thing I'm most hung up on is that you got a Coke for $0.49, it seems even the cans are $0.75 and up these days.

 

Another Texasism but hardly meaning the same thing...
