Ya, it could be a problem with the ad script.

How much loss to shawn due to this blank google ads space (Figure is quite big IMO).

[nks]

oh poor Shawn....

Thats a good move. Because when the forum was down yesterday, there were adsense ads which linked to a forum thread.. So there was total loss to the advertiser.

Several hundred a day. The last figure I heard was that DP forum pulls $10k+ a month from adsense, but that was before more ads were added.

This is not a DB issue, it is google adsense who stopped showing the ads.

Peace,

[toxic1985]

Because when a site or publisherID is banned from adsense the ads do not display. The code on the pages where the ads are blank appears like such:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_channel ="xxxxxxxxxx";
google_alternate_ad_url = "http://forums.digitalpoint.com/html/no_adsense.html";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 15;
google_ad_format = "728x15_0ads_al";
google_color_border = "ECF3EB";
google_color_bg = "ECF3EB";
google_color_link = "226C22";
google_color_url = "226C22";
google_color_text = "000000";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

So one can assume that DP is being denied publisher status, either that or everyone who has a pubID with DP is being blocked (which i find rather unlikely)

Oh my god...
Poor Admin (Shawn, right?)

He'll lose a lot of money over this..

[Games master]

I also don't see any ads. I wonder what will happen if Adsense is gone! I hope DP does not closes down.

I wonder what has happened...hope it's fixed soon. Lets kill Adsense if they stopped showing ads.
