In other advertising news, effective this Friday my exclusive advertising arrangement with Bovada, that has lasted nine years, ends. All reputable advertisers will be welcome.
So officially we are no longer customers like a few people were claiming.Quote: WizardI hope it will not go unnoticed that this site is, for now, advertising free. The Bovada/Bodog ad on this site hardly made any money to begin with, so it was no big sacrifice to remove it. I make no promises that it will stay advertising free, so enjoy it while it lasts. In fact, I welcome expressions of interest to advertise here.

I'm surprised that this site didn't generate enough traffic/sign-ups to Bovada to be worthwhile...I'm assuming the ads on WoO are more profitable?
To that point, is your exclusive agreement still in place over on WoO, or not? Just curious. Hope you can find some relevant, reputable advertisers. Preferably ones who can do business with US-based banks, to make your life easier.

WoO is my only money making site. This one has been a financial disaster.

Yes, Thursday is the last Bodog day on all my sites. They will still be around but just one of many other casinos.
At least I haven't had to worry lately about offshore banking because I don't have any incoming money in the first place.

Ouch. Well played for keeping it around in the face of that.

Hope you find a decent new sponsor or sponsors.

bazinga!!!
I hope you find advertisers. I personally don't mind at all when I see banners and what not, especially on free sites.
I am actually surprised that running a forum costs that much. I guess there are things behind the scenes that I never thought about.

To be honest, there is very little recurring expense with running this forum. However, it was costly to develop the forum in the first place. It was all done by our own JB, at my expense. The only other forum based on this code is DT.
