The rapid growth of the forum caught us by surprise. Because the forum and the homepage, including the PC version, share the same server, it has caused network congestion. Sometimes it may act up, and browsing becomes slow, which has caused great inconvenience to our members.
Recently, in conversations with the site admin, we also learned that the only way to solve this problem is to separate the forum onto its own server. However, this comes with high operating costs.
You can't have both fish and bear's paw. I discussed with the admin the idea of placing ads on the forum to recoup costs, aiming for better development of the forum in the future and more convenient access for our friends. Of course, the considerate admin is also concerned that this might cause dissatisfaction among some members. Therefore, I am opening this thread to seek everyone's opinion and decide the future of our forum through a democratic vote. Please treat your vote seriously because your decision now will determine the future of 7tan.
In addition, here is some good news: if feasible, part of the advertising revenue will in the future be used to reward members who have contributed to the forum and as rewards for future activities
Conduct a forum-wide vote to improve forum access speed

Back to the third floor. H wouldn't. The station master is a rather traditional person, I feel. Haha.
In addition, a portion of the advertising revenue may be used in the future to give back to friends, in specific forms such as event prizes or recognition of outstanding members. For details, please pay more attention to the updates from 7tan.
Listening to all sides brings clarity, while listening to only one side leads to obscurity. Some people have raised objections, which is also a manifestation of progress in 7tan. We appreciate this member's kind yet serious admonition. We will fully take your concerns into account and make reasonable adjustments to the potential plans. We must emphasize once again that this vote is purely public because it is well known that the forum's access speed has become slow, which is urgent. Development and habit are like a fish and a bear's paw—you can't have both. What we can do is make the part that involves our interests open, transparent, and fair. We welcome everyone to supervise.
Think about the webmaster... 7723 was set up to make money. If it didn't make money, could it launch a website?
It doesn't matter, ads on mobile forums won't be too much of a burden. As long as they're not on computer networks, it's fine.
For the development of the website, doing this has certain benefits, but it should be done in moderation, especially with the pop-up issues. As members of 7723, we certainly hope for 7723 to grow stronger and stronger, so let's place ads. Of course, the website administrators know what to do, hehe.
Popup ad technology is relatively difficult, so it's basically unlikely. You can rest assured about this.
