As many of you hav already noticed, the forum has various advertisements that pop up (downfall of a free forum). We've been talking about upgrading to another forum at some point. In the meantime, I'd like to get some feedback from everyone which may help drive the decision. Thanks!

Personally I do not care for them. If you are getting money for allowing them let them stay.

Just so folks know, we do not pay for the forum service. It is a free service; however, like most free services on the internet, they then have the right to put up Ads. I am looking into other choices that don't have quite so many, or no ads.... Also, looking into a forum that charges, but doesn't have ads. Before I, or the board, invests too much time or money, I wanted to hear what everyone had to say as this forum it for all to enjoy. I certainly don't want to make a forum that I feel is good, if noone else truely enjoys.

I really enjoy the forum and find it informative, helpful, and fun. My thought is that if we are going to havew adds we should have money going into the organization from them

I hear ya. I guess when it boils down to it, it's the same either way... Either we pay for the forum, then get money for advertisers... Or we don't pay and have advertisers. But, I would venture that we would get more money from advertisers than what it would cost to run, as sort of a minor money maker. AND, we could determine what advertisers we want.. Problem would be to find those advertisers and convince them to give us money!!

If the forum keeps growing as well as the organization I do not see that as a problem. Personally I woulkd wait to see how the growth continues before making changes. May want to see how the other Forums do it

Although I voted for the ads to go away, I do not wish for us to incure an expense. So the free forum is fine.
Guess I should have read down the page first.

Biker chicks? Here? And I missed 'em. Man I LOVE biker chicks! (But they scare me)
I did see the octopus one - that's pretty cool.
