We seem to have collected a great deal of arcade-only users recently.
Perhaps it'd be worth it to fill the arcade with adverts and malware to let them pay for 5punk?

I say yes to this, for 2 reasons: the majority of posting 5punkers either don't use the arcade or have adblock, so would not be affected by them. So there is no harm in doing so.
edit: Oh yeah, definitely no malware..

I was serious about ads.
As such, depending on the source of the ads, likely/possible malware risks.

Only because you like teabagging innocent passers-by.

You say that like it's bad...
Also, I know for a fact that you are banned for life from every shopping centre within a 50 mile radius of your house for this very reason.

Lets replace all the games with horrendous pictures and screamers for a week or so just to clear them out.

What's wrong with people registering just for the arcade?

Nothing at all. Which is *exactly* what they bring to the site.

Ads are a good idea and I'm sure we'll discuss it with FJ when he gets back from from Waleland. We don't want to scare off a potential source of revenue that could be used for our benefit, as funny as it would be.

Ah yes, that thing.
