Please set up some sort of subscription service so that we don't need these ads at the bottom of each topic. I'd be willing to pay so that I won't be bombarded by useless crap. Ads are so tacky and cheap looking. What kind of revenue do you make from those ads anyway? I'm sure our contributions (if they were allowed) would be significantly more. Sorry, I hate ads almost as much as I hate spam.

I've been working on a potential subscription sort of setup, but it is going to cost me money initially(that I don't have,) and will require a significant amount of time(that I also don't have.) Hopefully I'll be able to get it done by the end of the month(no school over spring break,) but until then, the ads aren't too big of a deal. They fund the site's hosting and do very little to affect load time, even though they may not be very attractive. If you go to almost any website(or if you watch tv, go outside your home, read a magazine, etc.), you'll see advertisements of some sort...it's just something that you should learn to live with...at least for a bit until I can get the subscription thing setup. Just be glad the website is free and there are no pop-ups or slow image/flash-based ads and things like that.
