Looks promising

[TheMedigator]

If my site was up and running already I'd 100% buy this!

[Omniscient]

Are people generally really using the PMs that much?

I'm definitely down to give it a go. Ill track invites and get back to you with the results so you can optimize the price!

At least 10,000 PMs are read per week.

There are never banner ads displayed to upgraded members who are logged in.

That’s reassuring to hear regarding upgraded members.

That said, I think there’s a bigger concern here around member safety. The site has already seen a noticeable increase in scam and spam-related activity, so introducing paid advertising naturally raises questions about whether monetization could end up taking priority over user protection.

What safeguards will be in place to ensure advertisers are thoroughly vetted? It would be concerning if this opened another avenue for questionable actors to gain visibility simply because they’re paying for placement. Given the increase in scam-related content already appearing on the platform, I think the community deserves clear reassurance that ad revenue won’t come at the expense of trust and security.

over my 15 years watching this forum. it sure isnt what it use to be, and can be a firm voucher that it doeasnt matter who you are on this forum. omni aka Jesse, does not give a fuck. which is why he loves the scam spam members who pay $15 just to get banned in the first 2 days.

this site is living on it, and is why every other day there is a new way for jesse to monitize.

Dont be like the others, while you may seem immediate value, you watch the real value slip away.

This forum might as well turn to facebook. no one is safe, and your info is sent to the feds.

This isn't how I perceive Omniscient personally, and it kind of sounds like you are implying he's allowing for the behavior to make money? Is that what you're saying C00Lssh ? just wanna clarify because that's how I interpreted what you are claiming.


Weird post C00Lssh , not sure where your head's at bud

I absolutely agree, this member has been causing issues with us aswell.

[CL1B]

What kind of issues?

[VPSLab]

What kind of issues?

Fortunately, it's been removed now, but the user in question left a negative reputation out of the blue, accusing us of being "federal agents" and "infecting forum members." It's honestly laughable.

I will be working on a new Banner Ad position for HF that will be integrated into PMs. It will only be displayed to non-upgraded members. I estimate at least 200-300 views per day, very targeted ads especially towards new members.

Pricing will be weekly and I think I'll start at $25-40 with 3-4 rotating ad positions.

Expect this to be integrated soon and this is the moment to leave feedback while I'm coding this out.

25-30 per month ? Or week ?

[Au Jus Demon]

25-30 per month ? Or week ?

It's currently $30 per week.

[Omniscient]

25-30 per month ? Or week ?

Pricing for the banner ads is on a per week basis.

Also Coolssh not shockingly closed. Not everyone on HF is mentally stable. The toxic people can find somewhere else to spew their nonsense.

but dont new members not have the ability to send messages until after they send a certain amount of posts and stuff? so seems like its more targetted at slightly more seasoned but still somewhat fresh users. other than that previously mentioned Stanley message when a brand new user joins.

They can reply to PMs. And every new member gets a Welcome PM. This is one position I might try to do some tracking. Meh, maybe I'll vibe code views into the banner system.
