Neither are hard to do.
Goodness knows how you've coped with the rest of the Web though, given this is the only ad-free, non-subscription site I can think of (except the BBC) that I use in a fairly varied browsing experience.
From reading most of the thread it seems that there is an overwhelming sense of ‘it’s ok’.
I don't mind the top add at all, it embeds nicely into the page, the add at the bottom under the comment box is annoying and distracting though.
I am all for this change if it keeps the forum afloat, though honestly I am amazed that anyone clicks on the stuff.
PS. do i get commission on the commission the you are getting if I keep clicking??
On the new tab thing...I can see how it'd be annoying. It opens a new tab on all my browsers and devices. What are you using?
I get it and totally support you being recompensed for the effort maintaining this site requires but I just can't fucking take any more marketing intrusion in my life.. I've obviously thrown some money in your direction in the past to help and am happy to continue to do this more formally.
Zappa was right - but its oozing from fucking everywhere..

On desktop install the Ghostery or uBlock add-in to your browser.
Keep bunging Lee random donations
To work that out, though, I need data - and there's a significant difference between what people promise and what they actually do (not talking about you specifically, but rather in terms of overall numbers), so running this experiment is necessary to get hard numbers on it. It seems to take about 5-7 days for the daily numbers to settle, so I'll call it there.
In the meantime, by all means use an ad blocker on here. That would actually be a useful contribution to the data collection in itself.
as per @snags sugestion, I’ve downloaded duck duck go and hey presto no ads!…
I will however revert back to safari as the point of the ads is to support the FREE TO USE forum!…
Honestly - it's me, not you. Ever seen the film Falling Down? I'm getting there

I'm thinking along the lines of £4/month. That's based entirely on a finger-in-the-air estimate, and the fact that it's the kind of money most folk wouldn't feel pain over, so I'm not especially attached to the number.
that’s got to be your benchmark No?
