(I'm leaving in the context-sensitive google ads on the top of the forum for now only because they can be amusing and/or relevant to topics (for now), but other than that..)

Big announcement: the website pages have been scrubbed of google ads!
now we have something very new.. CodyQuotes!

Here's a screenshot:



The idea is to show a random little excerpt (teaser) from some of the fun (and some negative!) testimonials/quotes sent in by people.  When you click on it you can read the whole thing and other quotes - and on that page we make a pitch to donate.

The idea of replacing the ads with these are that:

* we have more control and don't feel like suckers begging for advertising dollar pennies
* we might even do better financially if this encourages more donations
* they are just more fun and less obnoxious.
* it will encourage more people to send in comments

Note: currently while testing, many pages show 2 blocks of these, one at top and one at bottom left.  I think we will make it alternate between these and not show both at same time.


Well, what do you think?
(if you are a member you might have ads turned off so you might never see them anyway).

mouser:
maybe later we can add it little trivia things, and other words of wisdom from Cody.

mouser:
ps.
if you are a donating member your ads will turn almost completely off by default.
this effects the CodyQuotes too (because they are like an internal advertisement).

due to popular request, you can control this - so you can turn them back on (or completely off) at your pleasure.  see instructions here: https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=1228.msg8509#msg8509
