seeking1 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I never thought I would be asking for that in such a straightforward manner on this forum, but these ads and spam are getting ridiculous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroPreMed Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Doesn't matter how many mods there are, there will always be spam. They need to find a way to minimize it with registrations or post counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerr Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I bet this is the work of some desperate premed who's trying to distract us from finishing our applications as much as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking1 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 We should implement a Captcha tool to verify that the posters are real, not bots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooty Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 only ian can make mods and he's not around much. we have to upgrade the whole system to implement captcha and only ian can do that. i don't know how many times we need to say this. apparently a lot. the ads are down within a day. live with it.

I don't understand, how does this site stay up if there's no cash flow from ads? Or does Ian just spend a few G's a year to keep this going since he's making mad doctor monies?

Actually it probably isn't that much...I knew a forum that wasn't VBulletin, one of those real paid for sites that had way more going on than this and it was only like $1,500/year.

Or does Ian just spend a few G's a year to keep this going since he's making mad doctor monies? I run multiple similar systems on a single system that costs far, far less than the numbers you are mentioning. The server demand to keep this site running is not that high and thus the cost isn't either. Dr Wong is graciously footing the bill of couse but it wouldn't be breaking the bank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
