Title: Image ads in bitcointalk
Post by: alani123 on February 26, 2020, 09:51:46 AM
I prefer to not hide bitcointalk ads by choice, just a matter of personal preference.
Today it was my first time I saw an image ad. I don't know if this was allowed before but I don't remember seing an image file as an ad in the forum previously. Did anything change recently?

Image of how the ad appears (I censored the logo):

The image of the ad is hosted on the forum. Link (https://bitcointalk.org/Themes/ai/btb88_1.jpg)

For reference, ad design rules are here (https://bitcointalk.org/ad_design.php).

It looks new indeed:
"Method 1: single image"

I'm not sure. I saw ads few weeks ago when I joined Bitcointalk (in December).

Edit : Oh, you were probably sarcastic  ;D

Might just be that companies wouldn't prefer the image format because it can't be animated and ad blockers pick it up more easily.
There's no archive of that so I can't know for sure for how long it's been there... I just didn't remember any image ads.

But must have been bad memory from me.
I saw on archive.org image ads dating as far back as in early 2017 (https://web.archive.org/web/20170201145937/https://bitcointalk.org/adrotate.php?adinfo). So anyway, I'll lock this thread. :P
