The problem is - how different. I wouldn't want to invest if it meant it wasn't compatible with my default (pixelexit) theme, and infact was broken or looked terrible. That would go completely against keeping / retaining the viewer interested. I don't know how this works, so forgive me if I'm misunderstanding. For instance, if the colours were just a little bit different or the layout was a little more narrow - that wouldn't be a problem. If the entire display was messed up due to an incompatibility with my sites theme - then that would be a decision maker. Not many sites use the default XF theme, so I guess this would either be a widespread problem or zero problem (win) all together.Siropu's ad manager is great for the "normal site" where you need to keep track of different types of users etc.. For AMP all the users will be guests.
If you setup AMP ads normally, they will work alongside with Siropus addon. (AMP ads render on AMP pages, Siropu ads render on normal pages)
If you need to have more control about which ads to show in which nodes etc, you might need to ask @Siropu if he can make his addon allow AMPXF ad positions.. (maybe they already can, if it allows "normal" positions??
Hard to say, but I will guess it will look slightly different. One thing to note is that AMP pages are only served to new visitors that come in through Google. Once they start interacting with your forum more, they will be using the "normal site" and all of its CSS/JavaScript goodness
I'm very excited about this, because I have kinda "known" that it works (from my old sites where I implemented it).. But now also seeing the Beta test results I know for sure that it does help
Congratz on having a forum with that good daily visitor count!
I would suggest you take a look at your forum's regular monthly ad earnings, and then calculate how fast e.g. a 5% / 10% / 15% increase in ad revenue would pay of the initial investment (that might help you make a decision)
Thanks
