Advertising and allowing ads sux

[Piggpenn]

Well this is disappointing. As of today I'm starting to see ads on every post.

I had this sorted out since I'd joined up until today.

Way to ruin a perfectly good website with garbage.

Oh well.

Did your membership expire? It doesn’t show you as a supporting member (as of this post).

Ads bring in revenue which pays for the maintenance and hosting of the site.

Donating gets rid of the ads.

Nothing worth having is free.

 

[Squirrel Man]

Adblock and Firefox.

I've never seen an ad anywhere.

I didn’t realize that my donation had lapsed. Problem solved!

+1 with this! I never see ads on DFO!

I use Adblock and I'm not a donor, but today is the first time I've seen "ads" while logged in. I put ad in quotes because I'm not actually seeing the ad itself, just this under the first post of every thread:

Is there someplace that shows when our membership expires?

Ad companies rule the world

Go to your account, then select “account upgrades.” That info is near the bottom.

Whatever....looking at some pix is better than reading sometimes..
Nothing the matter with some new shiny drums to ogle at.....until ya scroll a bit and see a bunch of trombones and a clarinet mouthpiece........think maybe I’ll sign up for the trombone forum and check out pix of drooomz......
Or start a new thread....how many drummers also double on the ‘bone????

So becoming a donor at any level means you won't see adds?

All levels say “No ads and no side bar.”

Correct!

Great I'm long overdue to donate.

Looks like your yearly donation has run out. That's all. Nobody likes ads and that includes me, but I get that the site isn't free to operate and that's why Ben has to include them.

I'm not a donor.
But I don't mind the ads.
Think of them as sponsors.

That's exactly why I don't mind the ads.
I often see interesting items or
music gear ads and so I click em to
check out the products.
