Only recently revisited here, after a long break, and am finding the ads annoying. Mainly because the pages take longer to load, and/or refresh. Lots of “white blank spaces” waiting for ads to appear. Have you noticed the change?

So Rob, what if we were willing to pay a small annual sub, of say £10. Would that be enough to get rid of these ads? Or does it come as part of software deal?

advance2020, I’ve sent you a private message.

Rob, I’d also pay a small annual subscription if its needed to support the website in an ad free format for everyone.

If payment was required then I would not continue to participate on the forum. I have never paid to participate in any Internet forum, and I never would!

The ideal solution would be to have the option to pay a small fee to remove ads, not pay and accept ads or as a forum user to find an alternative option.

I don't have a problem with adverts. I use Firefox browser on my PC and I have the AdBlock extension. I don't see any adverts. :)

I think usually this works the best.

Hi,
I thought I'd answered this elsewhere but I dont plan to offer a subscription and prefer an ad supported model.
That said, you should see at most 2 or 3 ads to a page and thats it.

It is far less than what you would see on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, media websites or any news website.
