unfortunately this is the way it goes. BFL (inaba) and BTCFPGA (me) have the funds to pay ridiculous amounts for advertising slots and I will do what it takes to make sure our advertising exposure is at least equal to that of BFL at least in terms of this forum.
All the money goes to support the forum which I happen to think is a very good cause, however as I have stated before I support and would love to see some sort of fair system come into play where each business is only allowed a certain amount of slots and those slots are priced in a way that makes sense for the business that is buying them.
for example I would be happy to pay more for my advertising slots so some Bitcoin startup who has little income could pay less.
I doubt this will ever happen but I am just throwing it out there.
Oh, no problem at all. I'm actually proud this forum is starting to rank in a very considerable amount of sustainability and progression profit.
Any possibility within the future that you'll provide a cheaper, lower-impression-ranking ad service, such as smaller, less available slots?
