Every 12 hours from tonight at 9pm CST. I will be testing a variety of things to get an accurate report of statistics.

One of those 12 hour segments is to activate all ads to see the max impressions if they were shown to all members. So until October 10th, anything such as

1) Random text strings in footer
2) Ads showing
3) Logo missing
4) Attachments not working
5) Lofi/Dark Knight skin not working

Is all part of my tests. Please do not tell me that something is broken.

Damn. I love the DK skin

thank god for adblock plus in firefox

This is another reason why we arnt making any money anymore, people are just blocking out ads which doesn't help us at all.

Oh, i wasn't directing anything at you or people who use it, i totally understand why people use ad blockers but from the webmaster point of view that's our income.

[iBotPeaches]

Its like when the DVR removed the ability for TV ads, and now adblock removes the ability for ads online.

I've seen scripts before on sites that make you disable ABP. It does kinda make you look sketchy/shady though

With halo "somewhat" dying and the public modding scene as well, Maybe iBotModz needs  a new niche.

[jmdalmighty]

We don't have to leave halo but if we focous on the "in" rather just halo we would be alot more popular.
I think we should have a black ops section(lets face it cod is popular) and as soon as it comes out we should have verrified hosters and such not only will that generate alot of members but if some of the income goes to IBM it will keep us running.

[jmdalmighty]

I say we go out with a bang rather then beg like dogs.

[iBotPeaches]

The bang would have been near H3 CON modding or H2 .map modding.

Were past the point of going with a bang. Its probably best to put the site into a read only state for archive purposes.

Peachy, let us die out, dont kill us off prematurely.

[connorss]

i agree with grunt, after most people quit i say then but while we still have a super small chance (like 1.5%) let us live

You can live... you just have to expand...

[mangriff32]

Now internet ima let you finish, but IBOTMODZ WAS ONE OF THE BEST MODDING SITES OF ALL TIME

I have an idea on how we can work together and crawl out of this mess.

[Lockon]

If we started to  making a source mod...Then we would probably become more famous for making a game...
