Is it just me, or are the ads gone now? I couldn’t see them in the first place, so I can’t tell very easily, but I think the space is gone. I don’t see them, so it doesn’t bug me all that much, but if everyone leaves, the reason I come here will be gone. I haven’t found an MB I like as much, so probably I’ll just get more stuff done IRL and miss the discussions. I agree that running flashy banner ads is evil, but if everyone else stuck around I’d put up with it since I can’t see it anyway and AFAIK this place is unique on the Web. ---

It is indeed. My post to that thread. > [@](#): > > Thanks **Ed**. I had said I wasn’t going to re-up due to how this was done. That’s now been fixed IMO. You will continue to receive my money happily. I would be willing to give more BTW. Just give me the options beforehand and I’m a happy bunny. > > You may be surprised BTW if you set a minimum payment but also give us the opportunity to voluntarily pay more if we so wish. The yearly payment for me as a charter member is almost meaningless to me. Luckily, I’m in a position and am willing to pay more. I would. Just don’t make me feel like a putz and I’ll gladly pay for what to me is the very centre of my web experience. > > Again, thank you. Mods, you can close this as it’s no longer of any meaning. ---
