Fucking gay faggotry is what it is. I have paid for membership a long time on this site to not deal with ads.

It is internal only (non 3rd party stuff) and only for a couple companies. Fits between topics, so it shouldn't cause you nightmares.

One of the best things about paying was not seeing the ads.  Was.

Go look at the top and bottom of your screen. Those are ads...

So page 2 now just got real popular.
New topics will be shitposted until they make it to page 2.

This is complete bullshit. I'm not going to pay for a team membership on a site that forces me to view ads (or at least have to work around)

Maybe it's time for a thread with step by step instructions on how to block all ads without a membership.... wonder how that would go over with our overlords.

Not acceptable, IMO. Folks here have paid to not see this shit. Putting ads in between threads is ridiculous, even for a "trial". These answers are textbook politician bs.

I am pretty sure one of the features when buying a membership used to be no ads.

Looks like that has been taken off the table.

Previously, I didn't block the ads in the header/footer because it didn't bother me. Now, every ad on this site is blocked.

This is over the top.  Pay for membership and get ads? No.  As in I will not renew my membership.  Count me out.  

Also who’s driving this train wreck of a website now?  They should be fired for malfeasance.  Or ineptitude.

There are ad banners at the top and bottom of every page, even for paid members.  Those ads are for site sponsors.

Memberships are probably down as a result of how certain situations are being handled, so now we've got to deal with even more ads to compensate for failure to listen to the membership. I'm sure that throwing more ads at people that were paying to not see ads is the best approach.

Every goddamn website wants to inundate you with fucking ads.

I pay not to have the ads.  Since that doesn't seem to work anymore I am finished with the paid membership.

However, I am sure the management did the math and figured out that they would make more money with the ads than they would lose from paid memberships.

I’m not one to typically complain, but honestly I paid for a membership for this specific reason.

It was a benefit of being a paid member.

Granted the ads are small, but I paid for no ads. Now I have to ask myself the question if I re-up on the 19th will you add more later on down the line after I pay more money.

It may seem inconsequential but if you provide a service and state “no ads” as part of the service you provide, then later start putting ads in, there’s a trust there that’s been broken.
