    So I tried the Adsense thing after the first post on my board...You know like what this forum does but not as big...

    Shortly after a member started a thread he didn't like it and the rest followed. I removed it but my CTR appeared to have trippled. I don't want the users to get upset but I want to atleast cover server costs. What have you guys done with your vbulletin setups to improve CTR but not piss off the users?

    P.S. Great forum, glad i found it. I have been reading posts for hours and hours.

    Yeah you can go with the donate aspect, or as DA also said, at the very least turn it on for visitors. It is amazing what percentage of regular users/visitors don't log in until they post.. so they have nobody to blame but themselves.
