Site Update
We have updated our Terms of Service to reflect the fact that Aywas now uses AdSense to serve advertisements (section: Privacy Policy). At the moment we have one ad, which will show at the bottom of the page, but one will be added to the left side as well.
Following the recent PBC discussion, we came to a conclusion: the users understandably do not want to pay more for breeding coins, but the artists want to be paid more. As a result, we came up with a way to pay artists more without raising the price of coins--serving advertisements that help bridge that financial gap. You can read more about this discussion here.
Aywas is committed to blacklisting ads that are offensive or behave in ways that aggravate or diminish the player's experience. To report an advertisement, go to this thread in the Help forums and we will investigate the situation and block the ad if needed.
By starting our ad serving now, we'll have a half month to see how much revenue we can expect from this, and can better inform our artists what to expect in terms of ad-paid bonuses monthly.

^ well, "disabling ad blocker" is kind of a confusing double negative :3
I like this idea, ads don't bother me. You probably should suggest to people to whitelist the site on adblocker if they want to support it.

They haven't started serving them yet. I only got the notification that we had been accepted about an hour ago.

SpaceShipRat (#47778) The adblocker I use (which is actually called Adblocker, I'm not using the term as a generic label) doesn't have anything called a white list. If you want to be able to view ads, you click on an option that says "disable adblocker for www.aywas.com". I think it would be more confusing to use terms that the programme itself doesn't use.

I just didn't want them to start showing up before announcing that the TOS/Privacy Policy changed. Lmao

I have disabled my adblocker in anticipation of the ads being added. I love the idea of being able to help support higher pay for artists and coders ^^

@K&K Nononono, sorry, I'm always so vague... the first part was directed at the person who replied to you and misread.
The second part was directed to the site's administration, just basically suggesting to remind users to unblock (whatever the program calls it) the site.

Eh, most other websites I go on has ads, so I don't mind. I support higher artist pay. Hope this brings in a lot of income!

Same here, although I AM getting a gap above the footer links that a small banner ad would fit in now.
