In an attempt to make this forum more fun to use, we are going ad-free for October.
Thanks to Pro-Boards for offering an easy paid option to turn off all flash ads. Enjoy.

Awwww ... I really liked those "Your IP address has won a prize" ads. Not to mention the "Be 55 look 35", "Lose a kajillion pounds in one week" and that new one that only appeared last week "Work at home and earn $1600 per week".
I'm guessing I'll have to focus more on the forum threads and less on the enticing ads this month <grin>.

I guess sometimes free ad-blocking software does what is says - I didn't even know there were ads on this site. Then again apparently there are adds on FB too but I'm yet to see one... Still nice move in blocking the ads Cory !! ads are crap and judging from slayernz's post nobody is missing much by not seeing them

The ads dont hurt me because i barely notice them. Btw One funny ad is "this ad was wiped by PROBOARDS"
well,this explains why u havent seen ads here recently. Its kinda nice,but i think its kinda wasting money to get rid of ads (depending on how much it costs)

It was $7 per month.
For us that is about one day's sales on Amazon and with the number of people who use this board daily we thought Ad-Free October would be a cool way to celebrate Star Trader's 1 year anniversary.

Seriously tho if you take the Star Traders sales of $7 each day, then add up an entire month, and then bury it in a jar after six months you still only have $200

I just wanted to let you know that the boards are not ad-free for me now. Banner ads all over the place.

This may be my fault for reading the whole CyberKnight board before beginning to post things. Sorry about that.

Here's a question. Does anyone care that there are ads? I don't.
