Why are there ads on here now? Townie had google advertising on her post. Will that happen to all of us?

I'll answer my own question. It's happened to my one above. P***ed off. If it costs money to keep them off can't we all chip in? Bad enough waiting to get on without having to wait for ads to load. My speed is 24kbp/s so it's driving me nuts.

I hate all these flashing adverts! I thought that was why we had to re-register last year, so we could do away with such things.

It was. There shouldn't be ads on here at all.

We are looking into it, please bear with us.

They are several times bigger than the post as well, which makes them distracting.
It might be that we have no choice to keep costs down and if that is the case, we might have to just put up with them.

Just trying something...adding spaces to shove the adds down to the bottom out of the way

Have had a look into it, and keeping the forum ad free will cost £40 per year.

Anyone got any fundraising ideas? I'm sure we all want to keep the ads off.

I paid for it last year out of monies raised from our fundraisers - wasn't aware that it was due to run out, but it seems a small price to pay to keep the ads at bay

Update - have just paid for ads free again - hopefully we'll stop seeing them very soon.

Apologies for the interruption in our normally ad free service and thanks for your patience folks.
