Hi all, I wanted to fill you in on what's been going on with some advertisements lately and gather some opinions. About a week ago or so, Google Adsense implemented an automatic experiment with vignette ads (full-screen ads) that occur in-between page loads. It only affects 50% of our users for now, but it has shown that my Adsense revenue has already greatly increased. Some days, I'm making up to 5x more than I usually do. The end of this experiment is approaching, and it will give me the opportunity to permanently implement this ad placement, or remove it. I wanted to gather your opinions on possibly permanently implementing this full-screen ads before I make a decision. To give you a bit more information on these ads: These ads will only occur in-between page loads. The ads will not randomly "pop up" as you are reading threads and such, and they will only occasionally occur when you click to browse another page of the site, and by simply pressing the "X" button on the ad, the ad will close and the next page will continue to load as normal. These ads will be the same forms of content as any other ads you would normally see on the site. So don't worry, you won't be seeing any sketchy ads for MILFS and such, but rather the same content you would see in the banner ads but in vignette form as well. They are the same Google Ads. Things to keep in mind: While the site is free for you all to use, it is not free to host and manage. Each month, I pay several recurring fees to keep the site up and running for you all. I rely solely on Adsense at the moment to pay for these fees. As these vignette ads have greatly increased my ad revenue, this would help ease some of the stress of guaranteeing I generate enough revenue each month to fully cover the costs Any extra roll-over revenue these ads may produce will be greatly helpful to help finally pay off the loan I borrowed 4+ years ago to purchase LanaBoards in the first place, and can also help pay off the tab I have running from months that Adsense didn't fully cover the fees and I had to pay out of pocket. If I ever find I am generating more revenue than the site needs, I can absolutely remove these ads. (However, I still have lots to pay off for the site alongside monthly recurring fees, so this could be awhile.) I plan to implement an Ad-Free "subscription" package for LanaBoards that would be a monthly $2 cost for anyone who would like to be free from ads on all devices. Users can also choose to donate with a lump sum upfront rather that split into monthly payments So, given all this, I want your thoughts. Above anything, your enjoyment of the site is always my top priority. While this extra revenue would be very helpful for the site, I wouldn't implement these ads permanently if this is going to greatly detract from your enjoyment of your site. If you find yourself wanting to access the site less or are tempted to use an ad-blocker program, please let me know. I want to make sure no one feels greatly deterred from using the site with these vignette page-load ads, and using ad-blockers would defeat the purpose of me implementing these ads to help generate more revenue for funding the site, and could instead result in the site generating less revenue than normal. Please be honest with me here, I really need your opinions. I've put up a poll for this thread where you all can let me know if you're willing to tolerate these ads, or if they are unbearable and would greatly damper your enjoyment of the site. Also please feel free to leave any further thoughts to explain your opinions below. Thank you for your consideration guys, and I'm sending all my love to you as always xx

I personally think Lana should pay us for our valuable insights and unwavering stanship

Can't wait for ~50 minute-long Dealer

We're arleady at the part of the era where fake insiders try to soak up attention with the most vague "iNfOrMaTiOn"? Me, I prefer the wild guesses, the "Regina Sunset"s, the "In the cock in the cock in the cockpit"s. The bold liars who are ready to take a risk. Not those who try the safe guesses. "She's recording with Nikki. Maybe the album is coming, maybe it's not. There will prolly be CoCc outtakes. Maybe she will still do ANYTHING for CoCc" Sorry but try again.

maybe we should all collectively sue the scat poster for personal stress & trauma and each donate 10% of our winnings to lanaboards

enough with the ads everyone better change their vote from yes to no RIGHT NOW

this thread.... elle isn't jeff bezos she isn't a billionare sucking money from the masses just to add insignificant wealth to her insane net worth... it's also kinda (really) rude to speculate on her finances. have you ever thought maybe she doesn't want to have to significantly change her way of living in order to fund a website covered in scat porn 3 out of 7 days of the week

bangers screamers and squirters, amen

i need a crumb of info for this album i don't even care if it's fake info at this point let me ask: what is your DREAM for RCS, no matter how unrealistic? mine would have to be an album with no jack, but instead mr david kahne himself working in coordination with dan auerbach, rick nowels, and zach dawes... a few tired of singing the blues-y, it's not you it's just me/trees, me and my boyfriend, pretty when you cry-y, raise me up type songs, a few thunder-y type songs, a few oh say can you see etc type songs, some synths here or there, some heavy guitar somewhere, not everywhere, interesting and actually hear-able instruments, no piano flops (key word FLOPS), a few heartbreaking songs, a few angry ones, a sense of fun and life throughout the album, accompanied by PERFECT visuals - not necessary high quality or like the best she's ever had but absolutely perfect for the album, cohesive, dark yet sunny, oceanic, summery, hot and windy, fireworks sparklers oranges and lemons umbrellas sun hats and lemonade iced tea

i'm on the run with u my SWEET ❤️ there's nothing wrong. contemplating GIANT GUMBALLS running amok the candy stooooo huu huuu oooore

The ads are annoying, but not so annoying that I can't click out of them. I am willing to pay a small fee to disable them. I think guests should see the ads. I would rather our regular members not have to experience the ads, or see them less frequently. Webhosting is really expensive and I really sympathise. People complaining about them . . . you need to go outside for a second and remember how expensive it is to live lol. Elle is basically paying $100 extra rent a month so we can shit post 24/7. Could you afford to do that?

This website will always be free to use. Always. The two ways to support this website are to either view ads, or pay to get rid of ads if you have the means to do so. If you don't wish to pay to remove ads, viewing them during browsing is a completely free way for users to help generate revenue to fund the site. What I'm trying to gain consensus on here is that although these vignette ads are generating up to 5x more revenue for the site, will this upset users enough to not visit the site/use ad-blockers further detracting from revenue? & for users who still want to support the site yet don't want ads, I am offering an Ad-free version for a very low cost so the field is leveled. Of course there will be users who don't want ads for support and don't want to donate for support either, but in the midst of everything, I'm just trying to see what option will be most favourable as I do need to generate revenue to support the site somehow, and the added support from the vignette ads would be extremely helpful if users are willing to tolerate them (or pay to remove them if they desire.) So please remember that while this site will always remain free for everyone to use, it is absolutely not free for me to keep hosted and managed. I pay several recurring fees each month to keep the site running. Though, your guys' thoughts are important to me and you all make the community what it is, so that's why I wanted to gather some opinions on this before I implemented anything long-term x

this is why i don't use tik tok

Useless rant ahead

I screamed when I read the 48 minute outro part.

can we all agree that we want something similar to the bridge of "dance till we die"? maybe a little more angry & bombtastic...

Regarding people being upset about differences of opinions: I think it’s one thing to say you don’t prefer ads and another thing to speculate on someone’s finances (which is nobody’s business) and to make very unfair judgements on someone you don’t even know.

Okay I'm here to answer more questions and clear up some more things - some people have voiced my replies are sort of intimidating and may be keeping people from sharing there opinions, but please please please know I'm not intending to come off as any kind of way. I'm just doing my best to make sure everything is clear and understandable, so I may be coming off a little direct. I apologise if my replies have been a bit off-putting, as it was certainly not my intention x Yes, I just want to reiterate this. No one will ever be obligated to pay to use the site, ever. Ads have always been run in banner form, and donations have always been welcomed and appreciated. Now I'm just offering a little bit of an extra incentive to donate in exchange for no ads. But it will never be a requirement for users to pay x I've definitely considered LanaBoards merch and have even spoken with people about ideas, but now I'm a bit hesitant to do any of that because I really don't want to seem like I'm dividing the site among users who can afford to purchase merch and those who cannot. But I'm welcome to more thoughts on this x I will keep the site up regardless. That is nothing to worry about. If I have to pay out-of-pocket some months, I have always done so willingly. I don't want to seem like I'm complaining about a lack of support or anything, because I will always back LanaBoards no matter what the cost, and it is no one's obligation to fund the site except my own. I am glad and truly honoured to host this site for you all, and I will always continue to do so no matter what. The vignette ads have just greatly increased the site's revenue and would be a huge help of guaranteeing I make enough revenue to pay the site each month, and help pay off other site expenses I've accumulated a tab for that I've paid out of pocket. But if users really don't want vignette ads, I will not implement them and things will go back to as they were before. I only wanted to ask because this would be a great opportunity to generate some more revenue for the site, but I would not be fully comfortable doing so if I knew the majority of users would be bothered x I will say, I'm a bit uncomfortable talking about Adsense so outright, so I'm going to put the following answers in a spoiler. I'm also just going to answer everything rather plainly and directly here, as money talk always makes me ~uncomfy~ I have never pocketed any profit from the site, and again there are times when I have had to pay out of my own pocket when Adsense revenue has not covered the complete costs. Considering all the prior payments I've made for the site I have yet to pay off, it would probably be a long time until I were to ever profit money that could be used for non-site related expenses, and I have no intention of ever doing so. I don't own LanaBoards for the purpose of making profit, and if the day ever did come where I'm making more than what was needed for site-expenses, I could definitely turn off ads or limit them x Hopefully this helps answer some questions, but please don't be hesitant to ask anything further below. I'm here to help clear up any confusions! x

I don’t know that people will ever really be honest about how annoying the ads are cause there is random politics on here where mods favor/ignore the behavior of certain people that show them outward support and people don’t want to get on their bad side

buying a website as big as this one isn’t going to come for free or cheap. Sites like this (that get high traffic and have a large user base) sells for thousands. It’s not unlikely she took out a loan, and she’s already said there’s months she’s had to pay with her own money. we’re very lucky to have a close knit site like this, and she’s still aiming to keep it free

ya’ll are a bunch of liars, they’re so annoying pls don’t keep them

I want Zach Dawes, Dan Auerbach and Rick Nowels in the studio with Lana lock them in if necessary .. just joking ofc I want guitar solos and Lana’s ethereal vocals , anger , sadness and vulnerability but amongst all the chaos and in the midst of the album Lana seems to become stronger and her lyrics prove that she is not what others paint her to be

They are annoying but it’s not like it’s the end of the world, there are ppl dying . so get your bag sis. at least it’s not like atrl a couple years ago where the site would automatically redirect you to a random ad page in the middle of browsing or writing a post and you’d lose it

it’s funny bc Lana has always been consistent with the fact that she hates having her story rewritten by other ppl and then a portion of her stans sit on tiktok all day straight up making up lies about her life

No one is forbidden from certain topics, however, I prefer that offsite drama remains offsite. No one is going to receive Warning Points or anything for posting about certain things that you may be referring to, but the best way to stop drama is to not talk about it. Even this whole thing was more drama than I asked for. I really do hate drama. (speaking to everyone here, not in a response to the quote) The bickering and dramatics is not what I expected when I opened the floor for opinions. I honestly was expecting most users to probably be opposed to the vignette ads, but I wanted to gather opinions just in case, because again, this would have been a really great opportunity for the site, yet I fully understand the frustrations of more ads. That being said, all this drama is really not worth it. The experiment with the vignette ads that was automatically placed by Google will end in a week. Based on how things are going, I'm gathering it would not be the best idea to keep the ads out of interest for our members here. I really do appreciate all the opinions, and while I do wish things had gone a little smoother with this discussion, I hear all of you and am listening. Thank you for the feedback. Again, because I cared, I asked. & I am receptive to all of your thoughts and have taken them into consideration. Also with the whole mod-politics thing - this decision does not impact the mods. This is a me, Elle, thing. I will always do my best to remain impartial and unbiased. I can't speak for everyone, but when it comes to me, the owner of this site, that's my perspective. I am not liable for anything anyone chooses to post here - whether that be a member, mod, supporter, etc. So, coming from my mouth, the owner of this site, the one who is ultimately making the decision regarding the ad placements: I will not unfairly treat anyone based on their opinions about the ads. With what I said above, to reiterate, I'm the one asking for opinions, and I feel that I, myself, the one ultimately making this decision, have been very fair and receptive to listening to what you all are saying. I hear those who say they do not want the ads, and I am listening. That is why I asked. That's all x

i was mostly joking but honestly the ads suck and make me not even want to visit the site anymore.. i would suggest an open fundraiser that users can donate if, when and how much they want to. $2 a month can be a lot for some of our international users.. also if you do end up implementing monthly subscriptions, i hope some of the rules are followed for everyone? including mods or friends? my 99 cents o

These vignettes take less time to click away than waiting to skip YouTube's ads (on mobile). So it could always be worse tbh. Open for the donation idea, but let's not use it to divide this forum into classes. It's not what she'd have wanted for her fans

stop i thought this was melodrama

I find tiktok based lana fans to be kind of embarassing to be honest. They go from "ugh I want lana to start being lizzy and do hard drugs again, she sucks now teehee" to "you can't like any of lana's music from the lizzy grant era, she hates it". It's a bit funny to me that so many of those people do that and then hate white dress. And in terms of that one tiktok where they were all freaking out over the fake genius tracklist for RCS, I also find that to be really funny Honestly, the only unreleased song I can see being on RCS is dealer, and that one isn't even leaked (Tiktok is also the home of the lanacult and the "lana del rey burned a bible and also burned down a church rumors" so i can't say I'm too fond of that aspect of it).

Never trust people who eat chocolate like that. They‘re psychopaths (source: science)

The title track has such great replay value love it

My lord, over 200 pages already? Anyway, I know Rock Candy Sweet is probably finished and I barely have any complaints about Chemtrails, but she needs to ditch Laura Sisk as the mixer and engineer, and Chris Gehringer as the mastering engineer. I'm tired of hearing whispers at full volume. We need Kieron Menzies and Adam Ayan back. See you all in June, when we get absolutely nothing.

divorced milfs on your area reading this thread

Imagine paying thousands so that people can just create fake countdowns and post scat porn.

stop manifesting songs we already have and manifest new brilliant rock ballads, bops, bangers and screamers

I think longterm this isn't the best option for LB, I think this will greatly lower the traffic, mostly from the masses of casual browsers. I've gotten the ads and it felt like they were popping up every 5 pages, so I'm not really into the whole idea. Also I detest subscription services like how some other people on the thread feel, so no.

yeah i see this a lot, they say it's disrespectful to bring up the album cause lana never wanted it to be heard even tho LDRAKALG was put on streaming platforms back in 2010 and it only got removed because she garnered no success from it. they literally pull so much stuff out of their ass to make it seem like her life was terrible back then but she said she was happy when writing it and living in the trailer park so

TARGET exclusive: 20. Boom Like That - 9/11 in my mind im sorry but of all 365 days whyd it leak on 9/11 everytime i listen to it or just look at the song title i think about it and then my mind goes to the time she got hacked and tweeted “bush did 911” and “lana del GAY” and im so sorry i feel so bad everytime this is just a personal dilemma i have and i dont know where else to vent this cause my psychiatrist isnt a lana stan anyway wishing u all a great day and sorry :[

and 55 minute album

What I love a lot about this album is that it gives me nature vibes ...the best way to listen to Chemtrails is when you are on a walk in the nature ...it's fits the vibe perfectly especially NAWWAL & Yosemite

Hey hey hey, now I'm not deliberately asking for money here! I'm not trying to throw my hands in your pockets, nor forcefully shove ads in your face. The whole point of this thread was to ask your opinions on this before I did anything. Yes this would be a great opportunity, but it also isn't imperative that I do this. Yes it would be nice, but this isn't a life or death matter. Also as I've stated, I gratefully and willingly choose to host LanaBoards. & if sometimes that means paying out of pocket, then I gladly do so! Again, it is my pleasure to host LanaBoards. It is also my responsibility. I will continue to host LanaBoards no matter what, and no matter the cost. I'm not desperately struggling here, but more revenue for the site is never a bad thing. Again, I am not forcefully shoving ads in your face, or even requesting that users donate. I'm simply asking if running vignette ads would be tolerable so I can earn more revenue for the site, or if users are strongly opposed to it. No matter what, I will always continue to fund the site, even if Adsense doesn't completely cover it. I took on that duty when I bought the site in the first place! I have a great love for Lana, and part of showing that is by collecting merch and hosting a fan site. Nothing in this world comes free! But again, I do it all willingly. I am not complaining. I wanted thoughts about a possible opportunity. If I really didn't care or if I was super desperate, I would have silently implemented the ads permanently without saying anything at all. & this post isn't even me saying, hey I'm going to be implementing these ads for sure, leave some thoughts if you wanna. It's me genuinely asking for thoughts and opinions because I genuinely value your input before any site decision I make. That's all x

Waking up from my long winter's nap just so I can chime in on this... I'm always pumping my fist for everyone that wants to make the most of what they got, some of my fellow LB bestie can attest to that. While I definitely understand that there are potential/needed financial gains and benefits behind that decision, I'm also all for efficiency and a smooth browsing experience. Alas, I feel like implementing pop up ads forever would kind of make the whole experience of browsing the website a little bumpy. Which in turn is going to be extra annoying when there is the slight tid bit of activity.

If it helps you maintain the site keep them up. No reason for you to stress every month about paying bills for this site.

They crash my laptop so currently using an adblocker I personally feel like a donation drive would be a better option because I detest subscription fees in general but this is jmo

I just want the 5 different versions of Boom Like That. I heard that Sophie produced one of the versions

i want anger on this album, even soft anger - like she doesn't need to scream even though i'd love it. but there are certain songs she has that are quietly sadly angry and i need some sort of anger whether hard or soft somewhere in here
