It isn't a big deal at all really I was just wonderin' why.
Why do we have to have ADS now? I was kind of gone for a while on other vb and flash sites when we switched owners or whatever. Someone mind cluing me in? thx!

A site as large as this one requires good, reliable, servers etc. That costs money. Ads bring in money.
How was it being supported before we had ads and other things? What happend? Did we switch owners? Who is Jupiter Media? Why am I asking you all this? Why can't I just find out myself? WHY!? :(Quote:

I don't know how it was supported before, but if you remember it was a lot slower and there were frequent problems. Jupitermedia (one word) is an organization that owns a number of wibesites. Here are some of themQuote:

Hmmmmm..... I'd guess the cost was coming straight out of someone's pocket.
The nice thing is that this forum fits with what Jupitermedia does. To expand, Jupitemedia has 160 or so sites and 100 or so eNewsletters. They also do a number of small conferences and webinars. Finally, they have a great research division as well -- Jupiter Research. For Jupitermedia, this forum is a part of what they do -- not a secondary thing. For the previous owners, this was really a secondary thing.
Back in John's days, this site was for showing off vBulletin so his company probably payed for it.Quote:

Karl Moore was paying for the site on his credit card I believe.

That's too mcuh . You lucky guys , How did you get such number of members ?:confused:
I'm sure that many of those 38,651 members represent inactive members and/or multiple aliases for the same person but I'm also sure that the "real" number is large.
If you click on the 'members' button, you'll see that a large number have 0-2 posts. Not many members come back after they find their answer to a question.
