5 weeks later: Advertising? There’s advertising? Unnoticeable.

Hmmmmmm, I posted here a few days ago, now the post is completely gone??!! Anyone know what happened?

Anyway, hardly notice the ads.

Good Experiment! [:D]
I like what I have found SO far. Not disruptive at all. Thanks.[:o)]

Just found the ads—not too bad. I thought they would all be food related though. I know they are unavoidable–just,please,no pop ups!

I finally found an ad! No problem that I see with them. When you have to hunt it’s no big deal[:D]

Now that it’s been here a while, I find nothing at all wrong with it. It’s a non-problem. Use it if it helps!

Gave a little consideration to how my Roadfood personal ad might read:

"Plump, free-range mountain mama hen, iso well-rounded Rooster, Foghorn Leghorn types are fine. Brood hen types with an unnatural attachment to the eggs they hatched from, are not desired, but a good sense of herding the family is a bonus. Must have an adequately feathered nest to aid in the incubation of the proliferation of resultant eggs from conjugal visits to the henhouse. Roosters with the habit of crowing at dawn, can waddle the other way or risk getting their necks wrung. Cocks of the walk, need not reply."

Sometimes…….I have way too much time on my hands

Yeah, Yeah!!!! My iMac seems to be immune to the ads also- no place to be found…

They aren’t offensive at all. I wouldn’t even mind regular ads on the screen, unless they cover what I’m trying to read.

This website costs real money, and we all enjoy the benefits of it being here. So, if the ads help pay for the experience, it’s a good thing.

I, too, would be willing to pay to be a "member", but that would exclude many, if not most, of the "infrequent posters" to this site. I wouldn’t want that to happen, because I learn much from everyone.

Dearfolk,
The ads won’t bother me a bit: I’ll just ignore them. Like I ignore an ambulance unless it is coming after me. G’nee.
Regards personal ads, that isn’t a bad idea. Why, as soon as I lose another 25 pounds or so, I’ll go for a single-type ad: when I reduce by that much, nobody will ever be able to say I’m double.
Seriously, if it helps offset the expenses, go for it. If it becomes so obnoxious that it shuts my Netscrape(R) down, then I’ll mention it to y’all – if I can get into the site by that time….

Well sheesh, you can’t blame a gal [;)]for a little carpe diem

Well, I don’t see the ads. Maybe because I’m running Netscape 4.7 on a Mac? I still can’t find the spell checker!

Anyway, I have no problems with ads as long as they are static and not those flashing ads telling me I "won" something[V]

I have to admit, now that I have figured out where the ads are (VERY unobtrusive), I’m really enjoying clicking from topic to topic to see what ads were matched with each topic. I think that my favorite so far are the solvent recycling ads under the "Moonshine" topic! [:D][:p][:D]

Actually, that is not so far from the truth. My "friend" who was operating a small still for a while (which was located in his barn with all of the other "farm equipment" once used some of his product to clean the carburator in a Husquavarna chainsaw ( a manly device if there ever was one). It got the gunk right out and as an added bonus, a small measure of the elixir was poured into it to give it an extra jolt on first start after the cleaning. Started right up and ran like hell.

I started up my "friend" pretty well too, but the long term effects were kind of hard on him.[}:)][:D]
