June '08 Challenge Photos - "Shadow and Light"

Also, this is making the owner money. It is part of their income. They will argue that the advertisements only pay for the software and hosting the site but that isn't true unless you didn't do your homework when looking for a hosting company or your hits are too low which shouldn't be a problem for this website.

Interesting. I wasn't aware that a forum such as this had an 'owner' or that it was a money making enterprise. I'd always thought that sites such as this had been started by enthusiasts, and that volunteers/enthusiasts maintained the sites.

Well I'm not sure TPF actually brings in revenue except for the subscriber accounts that people pay for.

Can I vote again, it seems I inadvertently created a three way tie :lmao:

Come to think of it, doesn't it go to PK's now? :mrgreen:

If you see ads on a webpage then they are bringing in revenue. The amount depends on how it is set up. Typically you get a certain amount for every page view with the ad on it and even more if someone clicks on one of the ads. The contracts usually state that the owner or owners of the website cannot tell, ask, or encourage members to click on the ads to increase their revenue.

Most forums are created for making money. They will choose a topic that interests them the most or they are knowledgeable about. You can view and read the vbulletin forum to see what I'm talking about: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/

Thanks everyone for your patience (especially those who submitted photos 10,14, and 16). In order to break the three way tie the moderating staff has decided the winner.

The winner of the "Shadow and Light" challenge is photo 16, which was submitted by iflynething. Congratulations to iflynething on the win. And congrats to everyone who participated this month.

[icassell]

I think it's interesting that no photograph got a resounding majority.

Would it be possible to learn the identities of the persons who had submitted entries #10 and #14?

It'd be nice to give them the congratulations they deserve.
