Freddie's Dead Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 TANSTAAFL. If you don't like ads, there's the door. How do you think this forum keeps up on Game Day? That takes some firepower, your laptop won't handle it. Look around at some of the other fan boards, you'll see ads galore. We have a great looking and operating website, with minimal ads. SO SIDDOWN AN' SHADDUP!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO! Haven't seen him on any TV commercials. They just brought Caroline back for those. Billy Jr., does a TON of radio ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, she was replaced for a while and Billy Sr., was doing the TV ads with the younger, blonder girl. Caroline came back less than a year ago. Tom Parks is still gone. Caroline is doing ads with some pro wrestler, Titus O'Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireChans Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 5 hours ago, SDS said: So, Google inserted this type of ad on their own. It is my choice if I want to decline it or not. This was a recent development. To date, I have not shown any ads to members on the forum. It’s not to say I won’t in the future, but I haven’t done so in 23 years. Guests that read, but don’t contribute see ads. That seems fair to me. It looks like there might be a click through ad to go from the front page to the forum. It’s new, but is this a day wrecker? I certainly don’t mean to enrage people because they have to press an X once in transition. it cost thousands of dollars to run this site with enough hardware to keep the place up during the draft and opening day and other times of intense interest. I would like to think as a community we can be reasonable about this. For those of you with ad blockers, are you willing to pay a subscription for all your content? I’m just a guy with a house and a mortgage and a wife and a kid in college and another one in high school. I certainly think I have been reasonable over the years. There are some websites that are unreadable because of their aggressive tactics. I don’t think we’re one of them. If you find that interstitial ad to be unfair and oppressive, then let me know your thoughts. Thanks. Can you let me know how you swung a wife in college still?

Charging 2-3xs what they were told, and everyone says they pulled the wrong tooth, didnt finish, or "they @#%$!# up my whole mouth". Realize that wasnt the point here, but morally i couldnt pass over reading without saying something. Also, agreed. Its one dumb x to click to get to the forum.

MrSarcasm Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Ads are ridiculous and serve zero purpose other than to line the pockets of the already wealthy. Also we the contributors are the ones that keep this site active a running. I advocate for ads to remain but the profits be split amongst the contributors(us) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SydneyBillsFan Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 This thread is all the more reason to set up a paypal linked donation account for those who (like me) would be happy to contribute a few bucks here and there.

I can swing that. There is power in numbers. No biggie. I’ve never seen ads as I never come here on my phone, but I can’t imagine it could be too terrible. . Agreed 100%. Or put up a "Donate" link.
