Jamal,

How many are you planning on buying?

And, are you going to do it all at once or slow and steady?

Not soon either, unless he finds someone who can Speak English and do what Carlos can't seem to do effectively.

I'm not bashing Carlos. He's doing his best. And he is good at what he's good at. Even Rich said as much.

Change on ad timers for new bulk ad purchases is finally live.

Default ad timers for NEW bulk ad purchases is now as follows:
- 5s ad timers for default ad pack price of $1.05
- 15s ad timers for a small extra fee of $0.025 per ad pack ($1.075 total ad pack price)
- 30s ad timers for a small extra fee of $0.05 per ad pack ($1.1 total ad pack price)


The money from these extra fees goes into the ad issue pool. Later, we'll make it so, that paying the extra fee will automatically be applied to the minimum value of the ads for those campaigns, like so:
- 5s ads will be distributed as a minimum of $0.0005 ads
- 15s ads will be distributed as a minimum of $0.001 ads
- 30s ads will be distributed as a minimum of $0.0015 ads

And when we do that we might also add another one or two different ad timer extensions in the following weeks, such as 60 seconds - but first the minimum ad value change has to be applied for that to make any sense/be worth for users to click on.

NOTE: Past ad purchases are NOT affected by this change - all bulk ad purchases made prior to this change will have all of their ads delivered with 30s timers.

NOTE: As you'll notice the new, simplified captcha isn't live yet, as we're still looking into the best solution with Kamil, and as soon as we find one we'll be putting it live, to make ad view process much quicker and enjoyable for the users. As we realize the current google/solvemedia captcha isn't best compatible with 5s ad views. But even without the improved captcha, viewing ads (but only ads promoting newly purchased ad campaigns) should still be much less of a chore than up till now.

Daniel and Paul are spending most of their hours preparing for their increased team starting June, and there's tons of work to prepare for all that properly, that most of you likely won't understand/think about. Setting up local repositories, different levels of access, local ticket systems, ssh access, contracts, NDAs, preparing tasks/work & workflow procedures, security protocols, employee-safe databases so they can't dump MTV's databases with sensitive info etc...

Basically everything that will be needed to ensure that none of the employees can cause harm to MTV/PV in any way, and to make sure that they will be able to manage the bigger team effectively, delegating tasks and overseeing their work properly. Plus, what they are preparing will serve as a basis for all of our future programmers/programming offices. Hard to imagine how much work/hours actually needs to be put into these things until you start dealing with something like this yourself. Even setting up one of those elements properly can take days.

That's why there's been little progress on, for example recycled ads distribution, which is Daniel's priority focus when he can get some time off preparation work. So nothing has been forgotten about, and I'll post more details when I get more time myself.

And delivering ad views in time is under control, I'm keeping an eye on that weekly. But we might also be putting a nice temporary improvement (most importantly it should take hardly any programming time) live to make double sure everything is delivered on time, without relying on the recycled ad fix, which is just another "just in case" measure that will be taken (even though it will also be a great long-term solution by itself).

I think you can afford to make the fee higher. Maybe if the longer ad timers prove popular we can raise the price in the future some time

2 Really nice Updates from Slosumo (and the team).

Thank you for explaining, w/o going into too much detail. I, and I'm sure others can now more appreciate needing patience on our parts, b/c "it is what it is". Esp, now that we have a better understanding of what's going on behind the scenes. Setting up the new offices, was just too vague. But, making it all ready b/c duh, these are unproven ppl who have access, we need to set that up, and properly, b/c we don't want another incident. Which, yes, you did say something to that effect "long ago".

That's a-w-e-s-o-m-e news Slosumo, especially this part - "But we might also be putting a nice temporary improvement (most importantly it should take hardly any programming time) live to make double sure everything is delivered on time". wink

I am guessing it will be the "Ad Grid" which has been in the pipeline for a looooong time. grin

BTW, for our trouble with reading comprehension folks, before you ask,

By minimum, that does mean the biggest Daily Ads could be 5sec.

It's just that, there won't be any $0.0005 of longer than 5sec, $0.001 longer than 15sec, $0.0015 longer than 30sec.

Meaning, if you get a lower valued ad, the timer won't be too long.

Which also means, when the recycler stops giving hundreds of 1/0th cent ads, or I'm near the end of an upgrade, I'll lower my filter...if it's actually fixed, and I can get away with no filter, I may just do that.

Well, I'm kinda bummed out. I was going to advertise a site, but the five seconds would cause serious bounce rate and kill my SEO, apparently. 

Oh well. Not that big deal, the price for 30 seconds doesn't seem too high, but if it increases...well, I don't think I'll be able to really take the costs.
