Hello 🙂

I have modified “a little bit” the Discourse Ad Plugin, so now a new ad network is available to use:

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/b/7/b7622f55b5f130ed26d619c84d83fbc8e586bf23.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/4/c/4c78c129a110be5bf7eb06798c4584ee41f11442.png)

[Carbon Ads](https://www.carbonads.net/) is an **ad network focused on ad value** instead of the “Click here! Click here!” ethos of other ad networks. Taken from [About Carbon Ads | The Independent Web's Ad Network | Carbon Ads](https://www.carbonads.net/about)  
It is being used by top-level websites, such us @codinghorror[’s blog](https://blog.codinghorror.com/), [GetBootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/), [Font Awesome](https://fontawesome.com), etc.

That ad network works only by invite, and they are looking for sites focused for **developers, artists and business people** , mainly. In order to apply, you have to send an email to [hello@carbonads.net](mailto:hello@carbonads.net).

**How to use**

**Customize the ads**

By default, your ads will look like this:

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/0/0/00a2c4efc477daf8e3cee3ab3415935dd70b9ab3.png)

However, it is fully customizable. Carbon Ads generate an element with the following structure:

```plaintext
<div id="carbonads">
  <span>
    <span class="carbon-wrap">
      <a href="[link]" class="carbon-img" target="_blank">
        <img src="[image]" alt="" border="0" height="100" width="130" style="max-width:130px;">
      </a>
      <a href="[link]" class="carbon-text" target="_blank">[text]</a>
    </span>
    <a href="http://carbonads.net/" class="carbon-poweredby" target="_blank">ads via Carbon</a>
  </span>
</div>

```

So, in Admin\>Customize\>Custom CSS, you can alter those classes to make it look as it best fits you.

Before I had the idea of creating a [custom theme](https://meta.discourse.org/t/unable-to-use-script-with-plugin-outlets/113637), but later I decided to make a plugin only for my community  
But what is better than open source? So that’s why I finally made it public 😄

As you pointed out in the PR, people will need to add `https://srv.carbonads.net` to their `content security policy script src` setting.
