well well
Its true we were getting about 12$ a day from the google ads, I never got a penny of it because they canceled my account with them because of our "questionable content".
Also i will sell this site to whoever wants for seven grand....

Good luck with that. Maybe the Scientologists will buy it.
Yeah remember the two weeks we had a google advert at the bottom of the page, It was at 50$ when the googleads account got suspended.
I could go to another web advertiser but I'm really picky about it because I don't want them putting anything dodgy onto the site, google I trusted a bit.
How about we sell Principiadiscordia.com to the scientologists for a huge amount of money and then just move to .org (I'm sitting on that one too).
I don't know how well it would work for a site like this, but Project Wonderful lets you control what ads get put on the site, and pulls in a decent bit of money on some other sites i visit. (Its a bidding system, if you don't like the winning bid you can take a pay hit and use the other bid instead).
I'll have a look at it, Controlling the adverts sounds like an ok system to me. I was afraid of randomly having sexycams.ru or some other NWS shit showing up when I'm not looking, or worse, if they were flash or java ads some kind of virus or sound effects.

I
DESPISE banner ads with sounds. It is one of my biggest pet peeves while browsing the Internet, and I usually refresh then page until a different add appears if I want to read it that badly (or turn the speakers off if I'm not using them for anything at the time).

Seriously? There's way worse stuff on PW than us.
:tinfoilhat::hi5::lulz:
heh, PW advertizes on secret society wars, a game i play, and that has more questionable stuff than PD.com. they also advertize for a site which is designed for people who want to cheat on their spouses and features bare boobies
They are discriminating against Discordians
an oppressed religious minority
letter-writing opportunity here, guys.
They also gave an account to a webcomicer who supports torture in his comics.
The advertisers won't give him money, but he still has the 'your ad here' bit.

HEY ALL YOU U.SA. SPAGS
IF SCIENTOLOGY IS A TAX-EXEMPT RELIGION
WHY NOT DISCORDIA
TAKE IT TO THE SENATE/CONGRESS/HOUSE OF OVERLORDS
AND THEN WE COULD FINALLY GET ADS HERE AND SOME REVENUE
I'm thinking of approaching the viagra companies next.

Quote from: Principia DiscordiaThe state does not recognize us, but that's ok because we don't recognize the state.
I wonder if the benefits outweight that dogma.
Who is this "we" that doesn't recognize the state?
Isn't that like begging for a state-provided barstool in the face?
:lulz: well said
Sounds like something a couple of dope-smoking hippies would say.
Ok, let me put it this way: If you file for tax-exempt status, you are asking the State to look in your direction. Do you really want a team of federal employees auditing you?
Chapter 30 of the Chao te Ching:
If you're going to do some Covert Ops in the name of Discordia,
keep your head down, and Keep Your Fucking Mouth Shut.
A mowhawk is as good as a target during Police Action.
The wise spags toss the wrench into the Machine™,
and then walk away.
They strike against Authority, but don't put it on the Internet.
They subvert the paradigm, but don't stick around to watch.
They mindfuck the people, but don't pat themselves on the back.
If two people know a thing, it is not a secret.
Getting away with it means staying away from it.
And Chapter 54:
Our society is firmly held and steered
by deeply ingrained and arbitrary rules.
Those who choose to play a different game
are usually trampled underfoot,
unless they appear to be playing along.
To belong to the group,
you must follow their rules.
To follow their rules,
you must abandon responsibility.
When you abandon responsibility,
you destroy the Self.
Therefore the wise spags choose responsibly,
and seek out new groups.
They know which rules are their own,
which come from others,
and how to navigate between them.
And finally, Chapter 61:
A successful cabal is like a dust cloud,
arriving from nowhere,
ungraspable,
and fading into nothingness.
The tallest blade of grass gets cut,
while the crab grass creeps unharmed.
Keep your head down.
Keep your fucking mouth shut.
Thus by concentrating on goals
without playing ego games,
much can be accomplished.
If all you want to do
is brag about how cool you are,
you might want learn to play the guitar, instead.
Wow, I got an email from PW just there. Thanks to whoever emailed them, they clarified the reason for our rejection was on the basis that we do not host enough original content. However after looking at us again, they think there might be enough between the BIP and the forum to justify us publishing adverts.
Hope is not lost, I may not have to fill the site with sexycam adverts yet.
Maybe we should throw up some of the Apple Talk essays too?

Definitetly.
The blog is still there people, its just been sleeping, and they are perfect for it.
If you want to create a tax-exempt organization, it's not hard to do. You simply have to start a church and keep the church's books separate, and the church will be tax-exempt. The end. It can be any kind of church; the IRS doesn't care as long as you can prove that it functions as a church. The church may pay you wages, and you will have to pay taxes on those wages.

:lulz: an Erisian Biblethumper? :lulz:
its not like the goverment would start snuffing out discordians because they knew they existed, im certain the activities of people in this board are 95% within legality.
You are giving too much credit to the
level of subversion that is going on.
On the other hand, playing devil's advocate: geez if a dozen advert companies with questionable morality don't want to use this site, doesn't that show the government wouldn't accept Discordia?
Yea verily, he reads but has not read.

I don't know. But this is a more useful argument than regurgitating a rather stale "something a couple of dope-smoking hippies would say" from the
Principia Discordia.
I really do think that particular quote has become out of place and out of time since then, and re-interpreting it in the way you just put it, is the kind of out-of-context reinterpretation of holy books that Discordianism should IMHO distance itself from as much as possible.
In other words, better say what you want to say, instead of quoting scripture.
LOL23PINEALFNORD!
Sooo.... we have adverts again, maybe.
Those of you on custom themes wont be safe for long either.
Its going in those too.
It might be useful to put ads on the PD and BIP pages themselves too, since advertisers might be more interested in the people checking those out than us.
Also, the realization that writing an email to somebody actually accomplished me is stunning. Since when does the world work this way?
Quotehow many clicks should they get when they are here?
PW is based on buying ad space for a day, rather than clicks, clicks are good, because they'll keep an advertiser coming back, but they have to be useful clicks.
