What happened?

Why do members now see the adverts? Is it just me? Is this a sign of the impending doom of the forum? Is it getting harder to pay the bills and the admins need the money? Will this forum slip into disrepair, showing the ultimate failure of human endevour to find the American dream...or something?

They're not even that relevant...I don't really want to join a gay dating website..or do I?
Why am I using so many question marks?

Yes that would get rid of the adverts for me, but it wouldn't explain why they now appear for members without adblock. Which is what this is all about.

Indeed, unfortunately Alan is a hard man to get a hold of these days (real life keeping him busy)... I'll ask him about it next time I see him online... Or you could PM him.

Time to choose, Mr. Assblaine.

As far as I'm aware the adverts were always meant to be shown. I mean that's kind of the point of them. It's not like they're a big deal, right?
I don't really want to join a gay dating website.
Oh you know you do.

O_O

I seem to remember Alan taking them off for registered members? But if you say he didn't then maybe he didn't... But I thought he did...

Man, I'm trippin'.

I'm pretty sure he took them off for members. This is the first time i've been able to see them.

Didn't have to eat before

Wait, they've disappeared again, are you on a diet?

Well Dangar I'd like to see you do that and not top yourself from the disgust for yourself you feel inside. If you don't infact die from a crushed pelvis first.

Or have sex with five fat chicks for $5,000 each.

As one of the greatest men ever to live would say: Fat chicks need lovin' too, but they gotta pay!

Also, Maybe AzH is like some animals (snakes for example) that eat once and then don't eat for a few weeks... So he puts the ads on, gets food, eats, takes ads off, ???, repeat.

The revenue that comes in from the ads is negligible anyway. They are off currently as I just put up this new theme but they will probably be coming back. It's a necessary evil.

We should all sell out and advertise shit in our avatars/sigs and replace all the smileys with coroporate ones. We'll be moderately richer!
