::Because a few users have now made comments like this, I'm going to have to repeat that I'm inquiring and not e-bullying. I was looking for the justification, and the explanation appears to have been expended.

::It's called inline text advertising, and it's to pay our bills. There can be a maximum of 8 total words underlined, that is way more unubtrusive then 8 banner related ads that take up the whole wiki. On top of that, they are used to pay for our hosting - it's not free, you know. Also, you think your ads are actually all related to wikia and your wiki? really? Log out once and take a gander. Ad for Dante's Inferno, Advertisments for Food, Google Adsense is present, just saw a king and conquere online mmorpg ad, and a sprint telephone ad. A majority of your viewers wont be the editors, the folk that log in and do stuff, just people there to research information, adn that is what those people see. That is where wikia makes all it's money. We make like, 12 cents a day. New Samus Aran Stub... you do realize we just went live like... 3 days ago right? All the pages are new, and inline text ads are random. They pick a word out that it has an ad for, and it's hidden unless you mouse over. SOme apges will have a max of 8 total words, some wont have more then 1 or 2. We don't control that, of course I can, but at 12 cents a day it's hardly something to moderate at this time. Are you really comparing inline text ads to piss loads of banner ads? Your wiki, as a guess off the top of my head, prolly produces around 800$ a month for Wikia, while it costs 30$ a month for the wiki to be online. Were just covering our server bills, and the rest goes to contests - wikia is just making bank role off you guys, and I am sorry you don't see it that way. | |||
I don't really see why you keep pressing the issue, to be honest. It's pretty obvious were not going anywhere. [[User:Nathanial Rumphol-Janc|Nathanial Rumphol-Janc]] 06:23, 11 February 2010 (UTC) | |||
