LMS Forum

Does anyone else find the pop-ups on the LMS Forum really really annoying?

I could open a computer store with the number of 'free laptops' I've won!

AND you can't get rid of the ads!

Thank God that doesn't happen here!

Do they still have the Nauru internet address as well?

I do have some advertising to help offset costs, but I deliberately try to make them unobtrusive. At the moment they are Google AdWords. These are context sensitive ie. you should see things relevant to railways, but I notice we get a lot of central heating adverts (triggered by all the references to 'boilers'). I can also switch adverts off if I see ones I don't like - eg. there was an Indian singles site that appeared at one point.

Early on, I also tried adverts on the forum itself but dropped them after a few months. The annoyance vs. payoff just wasn't worth it.

Is that another reason why so few people post anything on the LMS site.
I keep looking in and frequently see nothing new for weeks on end.
Whereas this site gets additions daily. I hope that it will continue to be so.
Richard you do an excellent job.

I really dont know, It may have something to do with the fact that the LMS forum is less well known than this, and so has attracted less people.

I had an extensive site first and then added the forums. I think that definitely helped to get things going. I also had a reason for the forums - I kept getting email that I couldn't answer
