I noticed on an ASP forum they have a mod to add an Adsesnse link as a sticky thread, see it here (first thread): http://www.discussbodybuilding.com/N...umid_23/tt.htm

I would like to see this done for vB.

Yeah that's forcing someone to click the ad though... Would you not think so? Because I believe don't quote me though, if you force someone to click their ads it's against Google's AdSense Policies... I would have to research it but do recall this somewhere along the lines...

Or I could be completely wrong. However this makes it seem like it's a forum area which in reality it's not... So as I said it's kinda "Misleading" the ad you see?

How is it forcing somebody to click an advertisement if its a sticky?

Forcing somebody to click would be along the lines of "Click the following advertisement to Signup"

agreed, how is it forcing some to click it? it is just a strategically placed ad in the middle of "content".

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
