That's basically the same as stealing. NikeTalk can only exist if our hosting costs are covered, and we pay those hosting costs via advertising. Everything we make beyond hosting costs goes to charity - and we've donated over $40,000 since last summer. So, if you try to block the ads not only areyou hurting NikeTalk but you're taking money away from charity. Really, as much as people use NikeTalk I don't think it's asking too much forpeople to participate in our fundraising by supporting our advertisements. Now, that doesn't mean we want you to actually buy anything from a counterfeitvendor - quite the contrary, we want to BLOCK those ads, but if you try to circumvent our advertising entirely you're only hurting the board and dozens ofworthy charities like UNCF, the American Cancer Society, and many more. Don't be selfish.
I don't think its fair to call someone selfish on account of not wanting to see ads for fake kicks or what have you. I agree its a small inconvience, but some people dont want the ads...period. Calling them selfish isn't gonna make them feel bad or any more apt to let the ads through.
How is it NOT selfish? If the ads detract from the experience THAT much, you can stop visiting. By visiting WITHOUT viewing or clicking the ads,you're just costing us money and essentially taking money AWAY from the charities we support.
You may not think that's "fair," but that's the way it is. You're only thinking of yourself if you disable those ads. If you care aboutthe site or the charities we support, I'd tend to think that minuscule inconvenience of supporting the ads is well worth it.
I search NT on my phone, so I dont have a choice on the ads, but the whole "don't visit" thing everytime someone complains about NT gets old...quick. I understand what you're saying, but I'm gonna stick with my original statement. Calling someone selfish for it just doesn't make sense to me.
So your argument consists of two parts: "nuh uh" and "cause I said so." Very convincing.
Viewing NT without supporting our advertising COSTS us money. If someone doesn't visit the site, it doesn't cost us a thing. You do the math.
im sorry meth but do you really support charities
cause yall always seem to be tight on cash to be supporting anything...
Check the archives. We've already announced over $30,000 worth of donations and we have a couple major contributions in the pipeline.
speaking of charities..which charity is next?. its been awhile
If you remember, we didn't run ads for awhile after we switched to Yuku. So, we didn't raise enough to render a significant contribution. What we'll do is combine the revenue from several months together to offer a substantial amount, and in the meantime we're on the verge of announcinga pair of major ($5,000+) donations. With any announcement, you want to be 100% certain before going public. We all saw what happened with the original JasonKidd trade.
