This maybe good news to some. I've decided to pay to get rid of them annoying adverts that proboards put onto this forum. Some of you may have used adblockers to remove the adverts but some may not have done or they didn't know how, paying for the removal will now resolve the issues with adverts. Hopefully this will make this forum more attractive to you. Call it my little Christmas present to all of you.  |

Bloody sight better with no adverts balders...they were a pain... I'm going to give it a trial for a month or so, hopefully with removing them we just might get a little bit busier in here, if it does than I can't see any reason why not to carry on paying to have them removed. But on saying that if they is not much of a difference then I will reconsider it as many may have been using adblockers anyway to remove the adverts. All I can say is Watch This Space. |

Adverts? What Adverts?  Yes I know you can use adblockers to remove them but those stupid big spaces where the adverts were was making this forum look ugly.  So I thought Sod it I have enough of them and so the big stupid spaces and adverts are gone again another month.   |

The main purpose of paying for the removal the adverts was to hopefully get more people to post more, this didn't happen and so the adverts I'm afraid came back. But with the aid of Adblock Plus and Ublock Origin you can remove these elements yourself if you wanted to. |

What I hate about these people is that they ask for money to have no adds, now thats just extortion. What do you think? The removal of the adverts is not really that expensive only about £7 a month, but even though it's just a small amount it just wasn't justified as it was having no effect on the forum postings. Extortion? Well it is a free forum based service and but someone has to pay for the servers they are using as well for the maintenance. Balders I have addblockerplus but it does NOT stop this sh*t. Addblockerplus will get rid of certain adverts but I find uBlock Origin does a better job of removing elements from a webpage. This forum like many others is made up of individual elements, and the top and bottom elements where the advertising has been placed can be removed, which I have done myself and no adverts appear ever. Also if you accidentally remove an incorrect section of the website you can go into the options of uBlock Origin and delete them so they appear again. If you're not sure about using it on this forum, I would suggest going to a random webpage and experiment with it first and then try it out on this forum. |

I don't really mind having adverts here that much, but they are a pain simply because when i come onto the forum, and go to click on a thread i want to visit, the bloody thing jumps when the adverts come on and invariably i miss my selection and get somewhere i didn't want, so it takes me what seems like an age to get to where i want to be... It isn't really, but for some reason it annoys the heck out of me..and i am using ad-blocker software that is built into Opera as an extension.
