Ads on the wiki
1. What are some ways we can make ads less painful (ad placement, ad network choice, etc)?
Wouldn't the same area where you place wiki notices be an okay location? Mind, you'd have to leave a space or two between notices and ads so you wouldn't get misclicks. About networks, I've used ABP for quite some time so I wouldn't have any real idea, but I've heard Project Wonderful is pretty alright. Also, please, non-laggy image based ads. I use this wiki a lot while running Mabinogi, and there are probably a many others. Flash might not slow things down as much as I suspect, but it still might get pretty bad for those of us with lower spec computers.
2. If you use an ad blocker, how can we get you to whitelist our site for ads?
Nothing you could do about that, I'm afraid. Although having a page describing how to whitelist the wiki (for a few popular ad blockers) would be helpful for others.
3. Would you consider donating money to save everyone the trouble of ads? This option is only acceptable if we can get a constant flow of donations.
Perhaps someday. I like the idea of giving a bit to sites I like now and then.
4. Would you pay a sum of money to disable ads for yourself for some length of time?
Technically wouldn't an ad blocker accomplish the same thing? Probably not, though.
In response to 4: yes, it would, except you would be supporting us. It is unfortunate that you wouldn't whitelist us for ads!
Well... I came off as a bit of a jerk here, for which I apologize. Kudos for handling it politely; I'll see about whitelisting the wiki in ABP, but I might have to do some trickery with my HOSTS file too. Goddess knows I use this site a lot, and your implementation will probably be much cleaner than, say, Wikia's. I admit that this was slightly in part due to my "HULK SMASH ADVERTISING" attitude from a while back; but since this site seems to be run by intelligent human beings, why not repay the favor a bit? Mostly it depends on which ad company is being used. Cheers.
