Be interested to know how much of Dobberhockey revenue comes from us non-paying customers - I bet you would be surprised.

So if all the forum users disappeared, I wonder how much ad revenue Dobber would generate?

Not much advertising from what I am seeing. It's formatted differently then it was earlier today. Loads a lot faster now,much wider screen of text.

Yeah, exactly. I have to admit I was beginning to feel a bit caged in with the adverts in the old format. I know the Dobbs has to make a buck but....

Everyone is using the basic format now, so everyone can load the forum faster. The only way to get it done is stick two to three ads on per page. It's clean, quick, and nice. Ad impressions are essential to make it work

wouldnt the best scenario just be making sure all the twitter guys tweet only about hockey related stuff?
Why would I stifle people? Not my style you know that. People hated it when I switched to Vbulletin too, remember? They liked the smaller print with the Joomla forum? You get used to it, give it a week.

Actually, that's IL-logical to do that..

But anyway - it's not just about what is said on Twitter. What is said could all be gold for all I care. It's about the LOAD time of that Twitter widget and other aspects of the frame. This will load the forum faster, which helps my SEO

Yes. Well said

This is not what you should be seeing. You need to refresh the home page and then go to where the forum link directs you. What you have here is big-time overkill, but that is not what everyone sees now. Wrong page!

In the end, even if all the ticker contributors were tweeting strictly hockey information there would still be people unhappy at the topics (aka endless goaltending tweets from Justin or OHL/Sting tweets from myself, for example). Many of the contributors are trying to satisfy several different people (DH members, OHL followers, goaltending fanatics, etc.)

We all love bitching about stuff......like me and this forum ad haha
Brendan is one of the best for sticking to hockey. I am also good that way, though I do have an auto-feed for the new column posts, which regulars may not need and thus not like. Ryan Ma is great for sticking to hockey as well. But most of the others get way off track sometimes.
