Updated Slashdot Advertising Policy

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday April 1, 2002 @04:13AM from the tightening-our-belts dept.

In response to increased advertiser demand, we have decided that we will post one story a day paid for directly by our advertisers. These paid "Slashvertisements" will appear daily amidst the normal stories you read here. Our first Slashvertisement is for our sister site, ThinkGeek , stuff for smart masses. From Linus' Autobiography to 42" Plasma Screens and Caffeine Products Galore, ThinkGeek has everything you need, except love. But enough of their gift certificates could bribe your way to that too! And check out their current exciting specials!. Also at the request of our advertisers, anonymous posting has been disabled. If you are interested in reaching quality demographics using Slashvertisements for your company, or just have questions about the new ad policy, email Hemos.

I'm shocked. I thought slashdot has been doing this for ages.
Where on earth would you get that idea?

If you didn't pick up on the sarcasm, then I either didn't soak it with enough, or you're the one who bought it -- wait for it -- hook, line, and sinker. :)
