Re: Commercials on Aural Moon?



I would be opposed to advertisements on the Moon (aural or visual). But I don't have trouble with musical artists promotions via our station ID's or as guests in our forum or on shows. It's fun to have a 'celebrity' speak for our station.

I would, however, like to see a space or page (not on the main page) that did have a list of links to related sites. Links could include other forums, those great sites where we find our hard to find cd's & albums, video forums that have prog videos, and stuff like that. No ads on this page - just the links. That's promotion enough. And we should certainly seek the same type of links (not ads) with the other sites. (I realize that most music streaming sites won't want to link to 'the competition', as I'm sure we wouldn't want either.)

So, I say "Heck no, ads must go!"

That would be quite amenable to many. I, however, don't want to see the main page cluttered with links and adverts. I'm trying to 'un'busy an already way too busy main page.

Re: Commercials on Aural Moon?

Oh, I don't want these on the main page, for exactly the reasons you state. It should be elsewhere. A separate page that perhaps only a tab (like the playlists, schedule, etc) can access, taking you away from the main page. And it should be one that anyone, not necessarily a member, can access.
