Comment by Friends of Angela Lansbury - Bet on July 8, 2010 at 9:54am: Looks like Google Adsense has a complaint with Spruz.com so now Spruz.com will be forced to ask us to pay if we have over 100 members, or too much content on our pages.

Comment by JenSocial on July 8, 2010 at 12:46am: Hi The Douglas Archives,
I just use Google Adsense.
Best,
Jen

Comment by The Douglas Archives on July 7, 2010 at 7:53am: Jen,

Which advertising system do you use?

I was looking at plumbing websites this morning, and lo and behold an ad for a plumbing website appears on this page.

Impressive!

Comment by The Douglas Archives on July 7, 2010 at 4:13am: Thank you, Jen.

For the record, I quite like Social Paradox. I have had a poke around, and apart from a couple of small bugs (and they all have them) it seems to work well. There are more templates than on Wackwall (I guess it is an Openwall structure?), though they are a little wacky in design, but as F of T has demonstrated, they can be modified extensively.

Your point about the use of GoogleAds is well made, but It is definitely worth a look at.

Comment by Friends of Angela Lansbury - Bet on July 6, 2010 at 8:48pm: I know.

Comment by JenSocial on July 6, 2010 at 8:28pm: Beth, LOL. It's all good. I was sincerely just trying to help.

My best to all of you, as always!

My pleasure Fantasyland.

Comment by Magic Happens on July 6, 2010 at 8:27pm: Thanks Jen

Comment by Friends of Angela Lansbury - Bet on July 6, 2010 at 8:27pm: I am done with this conversation too.

Comment by JenSocial on July 6, 2010 at 8:26pm: Maturity isn't what I'm talking about. It's the association. And yes you are correct, although Ning tries to monitor and remove them, there are still adult sites that pop up from time to time on Ning. But here's the big difference, Social Parody makes no bones about it.

Respectfully I say, I'm done with this discussion. I feel like I'm just adding non-valuable content at this point. You all enjoy, and good luck. I'm happy you're happy. ;-)

And one last positive note in closing, here's the great news. Although obviously built on the same foundation, they thought ahead in a very smart way. The IPs/Server addresses are completely different, as they should be.

socialparody resolves to 69.175.120.162
socialparadox resolves to 173.236.31.178

Best to you all,
Jen

Comment by Friends of Angela Lansbury - Bet on July 6, 2010 at 8:22pm: Jen, They maybe owned by the same company. But they are showing different platforms.
