AD-Choices

Oh dear, Dominic- we have a Google ADs invasion on Paphos Life! VERY annoying...

Nobody expects you to run this site for free, given your hosting costs, domain name fees, etc etc.

If you conduct a Members Poll, I think you'll find that the majority of us would much prefer to have an ADs-FREE PL board, and instead contribute towards your running costs via a PayPal gift every so often, via a new Sticky you create at the top?

What think ye? :?:

What do you mean ab an ads invasion? There is one after the first post on any forum, and the little link thing at the top. That's a lot less than most forums have. Are you sure you haven't been infected by something?

And as far as paypal gifts go, they tend to be very nice in theory.

I should say that given the fairly low key ads that are on the site, it would be nice if people white-listed it. :)

Thanks for the tips about AD-Blocker, folks! Just installed it to my latest Firefox and I'm now ADs free, wooooo!! Might even be able to watch a YouTube vid now, without this pesky AD issue at the start!

Paypal donations worked very nicely on our ukcvs.net (Sat/Cable) 'hobby' board hosted on an excellent server in Latvia, Dom. To the extent that having sufficient funds to keep us going for another 2+ years, we've switched the Donations thingy off for some time since and hence.

Cheers- AL :)

I don't see any ads and I'm sure I'm not running any blocking app.

Yep Dom, that's what I see and not running any ad blocker.
But 95% viewing/posting on IPad which I think makes a difference???

That's all there is at the moment. Anyway, I am locking this now because Google get funny about mentioning their ads.
