I thought we had that still ... I guess my ad block is efficient.

I only see them on my phone ... android what do people use?

Yeah, we had it in the old software. With the changes Duluth has been making we have more options again on how to handle that.
To be honest, I'd like some ideas from people because the google ad reviews are getting painful.
We could chuck up a Patreon and people that donate/subscribe there can be added to a group that no longer sees adds?
As we have low costs, it wouldn't take much to cover those entirely and just remove the ads altogether. And if we go over we can put that into better hardware/memory to improve performance or add features.
What are people's thoughts?

I'm definitely willing to pay if it means we slide out from under the current regime. It's bad for all involved.
How many regular users to we have? 20? 30?

My thoughts are:
- I'm in, where do I send the pingers?
- If I pay extra can you give @jegga a really disappointing avatar and remove his ability to edit it. Or maybe change his username to GFYs
But seriously, it's a great idea. And we should also have t shirts again.

Heavy daily posters? There's a few more than that
Regulars is more like 200
Readers vs posters is huge. That gap continues to grow (because of phone vs pc I think)

Name and shame the non-contributers.

I'm in for patereon or sending a few via PayPal. Or we all just pool the money and put a multi on every week for $50 and if you lose you are out. Cream will rise to the top turn $500 into $5000 and 10 years of hosting etc.

Still working out if we want to do this or not, also interested in hearing from people who think it's a bad idea and why they think that.
T-shirts is a blast from the past, I think Bart's old business used to make those? Getting old, can't remember. "Bring Back the Biff"

@nzzp yeah I only get them on my android, which is either a bar on the top or bottom of the screen which you click to hide.
As an aside, in a similar vein (TSF thread without a Hijack wouldnt be TSF)
I was out seeing a client last week, and started asking quesitons about the generators they had as I was interested in getting one for home as we have water tanks and with no power, no water...anywhoo, for the next 24 hours I got ads for Generators...totally random or tinfoil hat shit?

Nope. Four of us were talking about kayak fishing at smoko and two of us got ads for kayaks within minutes.
