softbootsurfer Posted April 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 well here...so you don't feel left out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Right now you should only see them if you are not logged in. The screenshot above shows me just testing out the different locations. In the coming days, logged-in users will see some ads (not the one on the right sidebar, blecch), and there will be different levels of paid subscriptions available to reduce or eliminate the ads. The goal is for the site to become self-sustaining, and to support USASA and USSRT. At the moment I am paying for the hosting of the site, forum, and domain names. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRAZZ Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 I would also ask people to disable ad blockers on this site. I don't mind seeing them ads if it helps and would definitely pay a subscription. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordmetroland Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 That's weird, I get a man and a woman sitting in separate bathtubs overlooking a sunset on the edge of a cliff. I can't make out what it's for. Soap? Bathroom hardware? She seems younger and more attractive than him. Home health care, maybe? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 All the ads I’m seeing feature old couples holding hands and looking at each other with bedroom eyes. I’m not sure what “Are you tired of making excuses?” means in that context. But I’m happy to see some ads if that’s what makes the site free.

jburk Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Starting to see that ads show up while logged in, at the top, bottom, mid-thread, in multiple places on the same screen at the same time. (screenshot doesn't want to upload right now for some reason).

I'm happy to support ASB in any way, if ads are what it takes then so be it. I recall reading that a subscription model was mooted where for a periodic fee you could suppress the ad display. Is this still in the works? Let me know when this option is available, and I'll gladly send money to support ASB directly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburk Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 It's all working for me now. Bought and paid for, image uploads seem to be re-enabled, no banner ads. Thank you @Jack Michaud for everything you've done to keep this forum up and running! I only wish Paypal could send beer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
