BigRedMACHINE78 Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I believe what coach means is that he does now allow to post information about profit-driven ventures on the boards, such as "Solomon's Fantasy & Will Make Your Kid a D-1 Prospect Football Camp" unless he is compensated what he feels is fair. And if more people became plus members to offset the cost of the site, I am sure the number of "annoying ads" would go down. $12 a year ain't that much. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Couldn't have said it better myself!!! GO BIG RED!!! Randy Denton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonepirate Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 And THIS is exactly what I AM SAYING! Again, you have responded to me with a venomous and insensitive post when I was simply trying to explain what happened. I am new here...why are you picking on me for no reason!?? I expected to be welcomed and yet you are busting my chops at every turn. You might try being a little less sensitive if you are want to enjoy yourself on CoachT. I thought his reply was fairly reasonable. A thick skin will help when things get tester...and they will at times such as "Solomon's Fantasy" Hmmm...sounds like a porn site /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandy1 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 As someone who has worked in advertising for years, I can assure you that CoachT thrives and survives on users clicking on the advertisements!!! Do you appreciate this site? Do you want it to continue to exist? If you do, please don't encourage people not to use the advertising. GO BIG RED!!!! Randy Denton Well Randy, I am just warning them that if you click on certain elements of advertising found on coacht, that you will start to get popups and sometimes those bears are hard to deal with. I think most people are not fond of popups, thats why people install popup stoppers and anti-spy software. Advertising on a website is fine. But popups are an invasion of privacy.

A question- would you rather I run popunders (not popups- popunders) in order to pay the bills myself OR go with a company that charges every member $9.95 a month? I doubt in option two that you would even be on here today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this site has been instrumental in promoting TN HS Football. I was just stating that if you click on some of the advertising that you will get a popup at times, which can be very annoying and spyware placed on your computer. It is a price that you have to pay for a free service. I know that our company considered advertising on the internet in the form of popups, but our ad agency indicated that there was too much negative views on popups so we declined that approach. My computer has popup protection but doesn't work when I come to Coacht at times. The Classmate popup gets old after a while, because they never change it up.

My computer has popup protection but doesn't work when I come to Coacht at times. The Classmate popup gets old after a while, because they never change it up. I agree that popups are annoying but what we run are popunders, which can be annoying but not as much as popups. So, here is why we run some: today we have served 3,148 popunders and get $3.11 a thousand so we have made $9.75. If we don't run them, our next best option to replace them is a leaderboard ad at $.19 a thousand which would have made us 60 cents. That ad is like the Classmates ad, I think, which expands when you mouseover it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedMACHINE78 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 LCAKNIGHTSD--- In my day, when a man called for a truce he was at least honored with a response. Apparently, you are not man enough to publicly state your disagreements with me or friend enough to embrace me. I wanted reconciliation, but apparently that is not in the cards. If we are meant to be enemies, that saddens me. However, I can swallow my pride and accept it. Please---no flames in response to this post. Let's keep things classy and civil around here, LCAKNIGHTSD. Respectfully, Randy Denton MBA Grad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you are trying to be humorous, but for the record I don't go for all that gay stuff lcaknightsd. My wife completes me, not you. I'd appreciate you not directing this type of harassment towards me again. Mods, can we get his post deleted please? lcaknightsd---are you a Christian young man? If so, I want to assure you that we are indeed brothers. I would be glad to pray for and with you. I can see that you have struggles with self-control, attitude, self-image, and more. You can be redeemed my friend!!! Let me know if I can be a help. At your service, Randy Denton MBA Grad P.S. Can we get back to talkin' a lil' pigskin now? /roflolk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflolk:" border="0" alt="roflolk.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
