NO MORE ADS!

Post by Scott H »

:typing: I'm trying an experiment.
I'm not sure if anyone has noticed yet but ads are now gone... IF YOU ARE LOGGED IN.
Ads are now only visible to "guests".

My hope is to make the site more enjoyable for the members and still have it generate enough ad revenue through the guest traffic to pay for the hosting costs, software updates and anti-spam services we use. :fc front:

Enjoy :tu:

:chevy: There are a few of you who donated to be in the "no ads group". Since everyone is in a no ads group (for now) I can refund your donation if you want. Let me know.
Thanks! :tu:

That is awesome Scott. It definitely is better without the ads popping up every time you click on a post.

I don't think I've noticed any ads in a long time. Probably since I've been running Brave browser for a few years.

This morning after logging in, I noted "Pop Up Ads" after clicking on a Topic.... :banghead:
Does this mean that the Ads are back.... :td:
I sincerely hope this is not the case. :my02:

P.S.
I logged out and went to another website then came back here and logged back in.
Clicking on several topics, this time around there were no Pop Up Ads....MAYBE there was a glitch in the system or possibly in my brain. :dontknow:

Still seeing Pop Up ads after clicking on a topic when logged in. I thought maybe it was me but that doesn't appear to be it. :dontknow:

Haven't noticed any advertisements while logged in, just goofy smileys.
