Think SDMB meets Art Bell and you’ll get a feel for whats in store for you at The Black Vault.
How come those people get advert banners when we can’t? There are only a few members, and there seem to be one or two (!) nutcases.
Their stats page says they have 2756 registered users. From what I gather, they’ve recently moved the board and so not everyone may have transferred their registration yet.
As far as the banner ads go, they’re served by double-click. The cookie which the site deposits is a double-click cookie (rather than a Black Vault one), and I’m not sure that a lot of SDMB members would be happy about accepting a third party cookie from an ad-server.
