I for one would not mind seeing a Viagra or Cialis ad.
I did hit 50 last May you know, and I am not feeling as jubilant or youthful as I was in my younger years.

In the grand scheme of life...a few ads or a few banners...I could care less.

Will it affect my presence here? Nah. Will it annoy me? Perhaps.

It is the internet and all forums are being used to make folks money. Capitalism at its best...or worst.

I will continue to live inside my own little world and enjoy it regardless of a few ads or banners.

Keeping it real.

You're a patient guy Corey. I think KCTopher wouldn't even give an answer, but just say "See Ya!"

Maybe that is why my post count is off the Richter scale.

Oh my, you get what you wish for.
Maybe some will appear in my Christmas stocking.

Interesting thread.

I just spent 20 seconds installing AdBlocker add-on and all the banner ads went away.

Seems to me that's a simple enough option to eliminate a majority of the new pollution to be found on YT.

As a small business owner, I would think you of all people would have a problem with this. Big expensive companies on your turf! You have supported this site for many years, and it has supported you.

I noticed a Circuit City ad today when i logged in. I have never noticed a WabFab ad up there?! I know its really none of my concern, but i hate seeing the little guy get pushed out. If this website ends up like most others with an ad between every other posting, ill move on. Its not just a hassle, its rather difficult to read! I liken it to people who type in big run on sentences and refuse to use grammar or punctuation. It breaks up the train of thought, and often times is so annoying I will leave the thread or just go somewhere else.

What that means is A. i cannot gain any knowledge on the subject, and B. I cannot share my knowledge for other to benefit from.

As more and more old timers who have been here through thick and thin move on, the knowledge base here gets smaller and smaller.

I could get my shorts in a bunch, but that is not how I started WabFab or how it will continue.

I got a call just this week from a guy in California who ordered up a slider adapter...he had no email address and no internet access. He heard about WabFab the good old fashioned way...someone else told him after he saw my slider adapter. As long as I have satisfied customers I'll continue to sell just as much stuff as I always do.

I'm not looking to get rich anyway, just pay for my Toyota addiction.

Merry Christmas!

I personally am not going to get too wound up about all this. Yes ads are irritating somewhat, but to tell you the truth I hardly notice the ones here now. That may be do to the fact that I am running the Firefox ad blocker, anyhow the point is, I'm not going freak out of here prematurely.
If I like it I'll stay, if I don't I'll leave. That would probably sum it up for everyone. It's like worrying for months on end that your unborn child will be normal, you can only deal with it as it comes.

I suggested this very same thing awhile back to one of the IB staff.

I will email someone in the department about it again before the weekend is over, although they will not get it until Monday.
