Please listen George

[HighIntensity]

George this is a plea to you, I respect you as a businessman and I am thankful for the board you have created. But after talking to many board members the pop-up ads are just not working. Besides the obvious annoying factor, many of us access the board at school or work, and frankly having a pop-up that says “pay for pink” or ‘Elite sells gear” can cause quite a stir,. I know you attempting to create revenue for the board and your sponsors, but they seem to be having an adverse effect. I believe the happiness of your members and customers is the most important factor in business, and these pop-up ads have angered the masses.

Just some thoughts-

In defense of the students using lab computers:
Generally they do not have the rights to install software.

In fact, many work places do not give their users those privilages.

Not working? Why? Because they're an inconvenience to you? The pop ups are not aimed at existing board members. They are aimed at potential paying customers, which most of the existing members are not. Whether it works or not will be determined by how it affects revenue, and that will take some time.

Adverse effect? On whom exactly? Do you mean that the non-paying, non-contributing board members are upset? IMO, the happiness of those board members is a distant second on the priority list to gaining the revenue needed to support this board.
