Obviously this place will remain free to everyone who wishes to not pay. However, I don't think it is unfair to show advertising to cover the expenses of the site.

Sooo, what are the sponsor fees for? I know they aren't cheap..
and the site loads slow for me at work and at home - no matter how fast my computer is (with slight variation due to different hardware configurations) and I had to reload the page 5 times this morning just to be able to see the home page. Goolge ads do "help", but don't add up to much at all by just being there... put them in the footer and leave them there.. I know I never click on them
if you pay for a membership, I feel you should have AD FREE browsing.. tahts what the sponsor section is for with their banners in the forum description..
but, alas - I'm one of the newbies (been a member for over a year - so know what the changes have been), so I guess I'm just blowing hot air...
