After careful consideration and close monitoring of traffic on TRP.RED I have come to the decision that the ads here suck balls and I'm getting rid of them on TRP.RED.

#devnews Discussion: Advertisements on TRP.RED
Ads are performing pretty well on FORUMS.RED but are doing terribly on TRP.RED. My initial thought is, why shit up the website if there is no benefit to be had. My other thought is that the ads are not in the top half of the website and this is known to cause ads to perform worse.
Moving them up, however, would definitely shit up the site a lot more.
However, donations are not covering server costs. You may have noticed TRP.RED is operating much more quickly recently, due to a few major back end changes -- not the least of which was increasing our hardware resources.
So, I'm inclined to discontinue TRP.RED ads, or at least make them less intrusive. But that means what little revenue we're generating will be even littler.
Thoughts from the community who use this site?
Read More#devnews I believe we've found the source of the problem- it was hardware / hypervisor related. The fact that /t/whereareallthegoodmen is getting more popular is a coincidence. You don't get to claim responsibility afterall. Sorry guys. @moorekom @Typo-MAGAshiv @goodmansaysfuckyou
Big #devnews we have improved the search to find statuses on trp.red.
It uses a mix of text search but also allows you to use + / - characters to narrow your search. For instance, test -redpillschool should return posts with the word test but no occurrence of redpillschool.
Similarly, if you add a plus symbol (+) before a term, it must be included to show up.
My dev team has just informed me that the ban feature isn't working so everybody just ignore @goodmansaysfuckyou and pretend he's not here. Thanks! #devnews
#devnews Traffic on TRP.RED is over double what it was last month, and Forums.red is near triple. I apologize for things being a little more sluggish on here. We could pump a little more resources to the servers but funding is tight.
#devnews server upgrade planned tomorrow night around 11pm EST. should be back up in about an hour
