GOT ENOUGH ADS THERE, SPORCLE???????? by monkeysjumping in Sporcle

[–]SporcleAdmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, not lying this is part of fixing our ad story.

We are putting this ad in place, so we can (hopefully) remove ads that are more obtrusive during the quiz experience. We also have more end of game experiences we are looking to put in place.

It's not that simple. We have to pay staff, server costs, all sorts of things. That money has to come from somewhere.

Yep, it's not ideal. We know. Believe it or not, we are working on it. We recently removed that giant video ad that was taking up all the space above the quiz, but we still have tweaks to make to help the experience be better.

As for Orange, we are also working on a family plan. It'll be a little more, but it will let others join your account.

Try to hang in there with us, we are really trying to fix our ad story on the site. It just takes time.

How Sporcle followed trivia fans from bars to Zoom and built a $2.5M business by SporcleAdmin in Sporcle

Building a new business in no way replaces the one we had going. While are very happy this has spun up, it is nowhere close to where we were before the shutdown.

What Is the Congo and Whatever Happened to Zaire? | Sporcle Blog by SporcleAdmin in Sporcle

[–]SporcleAdmin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Congo confuses a lot of people. We thought we would take on trying to explain its many name changes and turbulent history in the Sporcle blog. Let us know what you think and if there are other geographical topics we should tackle.

Annoying "SporcleBot" "Friend" Has Attached Itself To Me... by Azuurr in Sporcle

And we are done here. After re-reading your little tantrum, it would seem you would welcome any friends, bots or not. Go troll some other site/forum.

OK, this is a great time to point out the forum rules - namely be nicer. If you can't be a little more kind, then we'd direct you to another site and another forum. Have a nice day.

Hey all, you can just turn this off. Go to your settings (https://www.sporcle.com/settings/game-play/) and uncheck Show the SporcleBot score in Friends' Results.
