          Well, take the example of the Civ3 Intersite Democracy Game. Mark is our leader name, Dan was our first worker. The analogy is that Dan does all the work and Mark gets all the glory.

          • Yeah Dan, you certainly need a better PR manager..

            • At this point, you have more than half the respondants willing to pay, and three quarters of those able to pay by the designated method -- sounds like it's worth a shot to me.
              No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

              • I agree... but 74 members (43,27%) are not willing to pay just to get rid off pop-ups or to get some small bonuses.

                Would the administrators tell me that it is no more possible to keep the ACS free because of the investments needed to maintain it, I would of course react differently and be willing to pay.

                • Who cares if 45% don't want to pay at this current point in time? Or ever?

                  As long as there is sufficient interest to make implementing this worthwhile then all is good.

                    Democracy seems to have a different meaning according to the people, as far as I am concerned I have the weakness to consider every one opinion matters... including yours.

                    • This is not about democracy. It's not so that if No wins the poll it won't happen. That doesn't make sense since it's an optional feature. This poll was (presumably) intended to see if a sufficiently large number of people would be willing to pay to justify the effort of making it possible; how many people would not be willing to pay (whether there are 7, 70 or 70000) is completely irrelevant. With at present 97 Yes votes, I'd say it warrants the effort to implement this option (but of course it's not my call to make).

                      • There should be 2 NOs: one "I don't want to pay" option, and one "I don't want to see this even as an option" option.

                        I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

                        • And as is said often, this site is not a democracy.

                          • One more question for Mark & Dan. . .

                            Could you have a price to make an entire forum ad-free? I'd probably be willing to pay to have the Clash forum and web site ad-free for everyone if it were something like $100/yr or less.

                            BTW I voted Yes.

                                Thanks for all you are doing to make this a better site( YOU TOO DAN!! ). Wasn't expecting to see you until the 16th or after. Any idea when you guys will reach some type of decision?
