    Hello. Since every arcade owner has gone crazy after reciving the letter from Adsense Team. I come to you and ask you one simple question.

    Do you think that arcade sites will go down after this change or they will grow hard and steady?

    My oppinion is that there will always be kids to play flash games and if Adsense is not the best to monetize my site, I will go somewhere else, but also on the other side I saw big arcade site put for sale.

    What do you think that will happen to arcade sites?

    I think that this happend because every kid that liked 10 flash games decided to put them together and start an arcade. I`m not saying that I`m a big game site but I do my best to work every day for it.

    As long as the games are your own, I don't see any issues with it. If it's just a collection of other people's programming work, seems kinda lame.

    What do you think a physical arcade on any boardwalk in the world is? It's a collection of video games that you can go to play all in one place. That's what an arcade is. What's lame is everyone buying a crappy domain, slapping on a default script layout, adding a database that's been used 100 times, and calling it unique. Quality arcades are doing just fine. I have a few and they supplement my income nicely.

    School Games, what are you talking about here? I haven't received anything from them.

    May you should check your inbox or spam box to see. Until now they whore 2 waives of emails from adsense team. Maybe you will get the next one but rest asure that you are going to recieve an email. If you want I can paste a copy of the email in here. PM or post here if you are interested

    you are saying this because you dont own an arcade site and you didnt got the email. It is for everybody to choose what ad to put on their site. I`m not pusing people to sign in, I`m just showing them what I did with my site after placing the adsense ads 150px away. Works for me and maybe there are others interested.

    I posted this threat to see what other arcade owner think that will happen with their arcade sites after this drastic change. My adsense income has gone down 60% after this change so I want to fill the empty place with something good.
