View Full Version : No publicity whatsoever... Why not?

Today I went to doom9 site as I usually do on weekends, just to keep pace on what's new on the DVD ripping scene. I stopped at the main page and then zapped onto the forum, but then something came to my mind - I don't know why just now, after all these years, I don't know...

But why don't we see any publicity around here? Why not?
But before you start yelling at me: "are you crazy?" let me just explain: I have learned so much from this site and these forums that I consider fair if I had to see some publicity. The people who are having all this work deserve to be rewarded. I wouldn't mind some kind of sponsorship, some banners, anything.

Well, I still prefer ZERO publicity, no doubt about that, I just felt I had to say this; I would consider it fair and I would still visit this place like I did in the past.

Before you ask, no, I haven't been drinking, ok?
:)

Have a nice evening or whatever it is in your country.
Cheers,

Joao S.B.

well of course you are right... but i think it is very very nice to have no ads in here... i for my part would rather donate a few bucks to doom9 than having to see a banner ad on the front page or even in the guides pages! and i can't even think about how annoying pop ups would be (if my browser wasn't killing them anyway :-P

anyway i'd say as long as the site isn't in danger of a shut down i'd rather refrain from it... although i'd of course still come here if there were some ads... this site is just too awesome!

PS: just my 2 €- cents of course!

Yeah...I love this web site as well! :)

Hard to see some web site that doesn't use any cookie or ads (e.g. pop-up, banner, click-before-enter) these days. Those web sites not only decrease their reputation towards surfers but also wouldn't get any benefit back as they expect.

Some of us may remember Doom9's reaction when the site was on EZboard still, and oll of a sudden there were ads everywhere, at least for those users that didnt want to pay a certain amount to EZ ... lol ...
