I have one complaint, and one question.
The complaint is regarding the stupid "zap the mosquito and win a laptop" advertisement on the side of the browser everytime I check mine or someone elses stats. I can't always reach my speakers to turn them off, and that has to be one of the most annoying noises life has to offer. The question is regarding a pop-up I get once or twice a day. I haven't gotten a pop-up for two years since I started using firefox/EZ firewall, till Kdice. Whenever it pops up, it pops up behind the active browser, and everytime, whether I'm maximized, minimized, or full screen, I lose my top bar, so no back/forward/refresh, so I have to alt/f4 and re-open it. Not a huge deal, but annoying, and just wondering if others are having this problem. |

at 12:43 PM, Friday February 23, 2007 EST Yes, I too really dislike the popups, but didn't say anything on my own.
unobstrusive advertisment on the other hand is okay... |

at 1:52 PM, Friday February 23, 2007 EST I'm testing other revenue models. I didn't realize there was sound with the ad. I think I can turn the mosquito ad off.

at 5:49 PM, Friday February 23, 2007 EST Yeah, a t-shirt would be cool. Maybe phrases like "I'm pre-allied", or, "Truce?", or your name, avatar, score, like it is during the game. Maybe a pic where an eight dice stack highlighting a three, or two (don't know the odds), and on the back it loses. A buch of things can come from it.

at 6:05 PM, Friday February 23, 2007 EST Two step web ad solution worked for me: 1. get Firefox, 2. get Ad Block Plus
As far as alternate revenue streams go: host a T-shirt design contest, there are enough good original icons here that I'm guessing this community could come up with some worth-buying screen print designs in Photoshop or a vector app. Offer some money for the winner and then sell the design here. Hey if TorrentPond can sell it's own clothing, then kdice sure as hell can. Here's a slightly witty, mostly terrible, merch idea: a picture of an 8 stack on the front of men's or back of women's underwear (I'll let you decide on the implicit meanings). |
