Its got a different default color scheme now. If your a member you can change the board settings to your liking.

Quote from: Hairfoot;304979Me too.  Is the background here stark white, or beige?

The background here on therpgsite looks like an "off-white". It's darker than white.

Conversely, I wonder if the color combo of orange and green on therpghaven is what's throwing me off, or if it's just the overall layout. It's hard to pinpoint the exact problem with their design, but whatever it is, it's a subtle visual anomaly that's messing with my brain.

The regulars still keep posting there, so they must be fine with the site design. Maybe we're just crazy in the head?

For your information: I opened up an English language channel on my forum, that is utterly devoted to free speech in RPGs debates. Feel free to join us!

Pundit, please let me know the ways you think are acceptable of advertising the venue at theRPGsite. I hope I don´t have to explain why I do this.

Not very observant, are you? Just go to the News & Adverts subforum.

Thank you!
Anyway, it would be nice to know how much pointing out another message boards in discussions here is eligible.

First, Sett, it would probably be wise if a forum totally dedicated to FREE SPEECH! with a capital-everything weren't members-only to read. There's something ironic about that...

Second, you can advertise in the news/adverts forum. You could also buy space for a banner ad if you wanted! Good luck with your forum.

Yes, there´s some technical issue I haven´t figured out right now...actually even unregistered guest should be able to post.

EDIT: NOW it´s working!

EDIT: Praytell, what do you charge for a banner? Was it $30 per month or per year?

$30 per month or $150 for six months.

Holy shit. But obviously someone paid that price.
Chapeaux! :hatsoff:

I think its fair for what you get. $30 a year just wouldn't be worth even bothering for, dude.

The cost is $30 a month per banner (with month being defined as a full month period from when you make your payment, so if you pay on june 8 it would be from June 8- July ; or you can pay for 6 months for $150. If you do the latter, and you wish to change to a different banner (ie. replace the current banner running with a new one) at any point in time you may do so at your leisure.
Impressions are non-weighted, and equally rotating, with only a maximum of 10 slots available for banners (currently only 5 slots have been filled, however).
So you get unlimited impressions during that time, what would be a MINIMUM of 1 in every 10 page loads on this site (if you bought ad space right now, it would currently be 1 in every 6 page loads! based on the average hits statistic I mention further down, that would work out to an average of a little under 121000 impressions!).

Click-thrus are monitored and that information would be provided to you at any time upon request.

According to Brett, paying for 6 months of equivalent time on RPG.net would run you about $500. And while obviously RPG.net has a larger audience, a considerable percentage of that audience are not actually roleplayers (many of them being there only for the off-topic "Tangency" forum). The crowd at theRPGsite are a much more focused demographic.

theRPGsite has a volume of on average 724,000 hits a month, with about 25,000 unique IPs in May, for one example.
Additionally, theRPGsite has proprietary code that blocks access by a large number of bots/spiders, even those that ignore the normal robots.txt protocol. So, in fact, you are getting considerably fewer wasted impressions (hence, more useful impressions statistically) with the banners on this site compared to other sites like rpg.net. In other words, 25k impressions on a site like rpg.net dwindles down to nothing with all the bots.
