Advertising On The Bulletin Board

That's probably a good and long overdue move. If it is no more intrusive than what I see on the Heavy Equipment Forum things ought to work out fine.

Just hoping when you scroll and just when your eyes find the new line, the ad jumps back right in the middle. Not

The bulletin board was down for a little while earlier this afternoon to make the changes. Sorry for any inconveniences. According to Google, “We’re reviewing your site This usually takes up to 3 days, but in some cases it can take a bit longer. We'll email you when everything’s ready.” So it may be a few days before the ads start to populate. We'll keep an eye on things.

I belong to another forum called 'The Garage Journal' and what they offer is if you become a paying member, you don't have the annoying ads to deal with, whereas the non-paying folks deal with the ads. I believe it's a good incentive for regular users of the forum to join. Personally, I hate the annoying ads. :mmph:

I agree with you, Crawler Dollars. People have their various reasons for not being a paying member so let them have the enjoyment of the ads.

I agree 100% with Crawler Dollars. There should be some benefit for paying members.

Bummer. Do what you have to do to survive I guess, but ads suck...

My membership is due. I will renew it if I do not have to put up with the adds. Otherwise I will most likely not renew as a paying member because of the adds. Can someone please confirm if the adds will not be shown to paying members?
