Default How many adverts ????

WTF !!!

Maybe I am slow to notice but just seen that GD is now sponsored

How many bandwidth consuming adverts do we really need on here ?

I think this takes the piss a bit really considering we need to pay to get full access to the site too !!

Yes I am bored and this all is just my personal opinion

I realise adverts are the only way to make it worth giving people free access to the forum, but it would be nice if paid members werent subjected to them.

Facebook game apps are notorious for stealing contact details to pass on for spam advertising..

It took 14 refreshes before it changed to something else. However, when I looked up to see what it had changed to (To say what it changed to) I'd clicked reply so it was back again.

When someone realises that you can simply block them they may give you the option to remove them with paid gold membership but until they do it's going to be the same.

I think JohnnyB should sponsor the Mens room.

What makes me laugh aswell is the American sponsors, I've never seen an American post on here?

TBH, I dont see why I should need to use other software to remove them over my preferred browser.

Oh well, Just in case they start advertising in signatures I will beat them too it
