Seriously, why are there links to YouTube videos in between each post? It's really annoying.

The sandpeople had women and children. We know this because Anakin killed them how could he tell? The children might be smaller but I never saw a sandperson with breasts. Did they hike their skirts and show him some leg or something?

Also, I can see the point of wanting to kidnap a human and use her as a slave, but they didn't. They tied her to a flimsy easel for a month. It's assumed they had to feed and give her water. What for? Was she purely ornamental? I can understand them wanting the droids, you can sell those for a lot of money, but a chick who's only skills are finding non-existand mushrooms and getting randomly pregnant, you're not going to get much.

I noticed that too but it only does that untill you log in so it must be for guests only.

So this baby, while still inside its mother, murdered his twin brother and STOLE HIS PENIS.

That is one badass baby.

Casual is correct.

At any given point there are 10-15 times as many guests visiting the site as there are members. So I recently set up a more aggressive ad structure but it should only effect people who are not logged in.

If you log in you should see the forums in their normal state that you are used to. Let me know if this is showing up for anyone who is logged in because that should not be the case.

I don't understand how those ads are profitable. They're just videos from YouTube, right? And YouTube is free, right? So Google is paying you per ad view, and then it has to pay for hosting the videos, so who ends up paying Google?

I think this whole "internet company" nonsense is just a big front of a counterfeiting scheme. It's the only way I can think of to explain Google's billions of dollars of profit.

I don't understand it either. I do however understand the money in my bank account every month. My monthly profits have risen from about -$10.00 to about +$7.00. So I'm enjoying this particularly lucrative stretch.

People gots to pay for those ads first, I think. That's the only answer that works for me.

Generally the way it really works is that they don't pay for them in advance. Based on the algorithm the ads are called. When they're called the person buying the ads pays a certain amount. If clicked on they pay another amount. If it results in a purchase (or however they monetize what they're doing) then it's another amount.
