    Want to get rid of the popups??

    Mark and Dan are considering offering an ad free fee based membership.

    IF YOU DO NOT GET THE MEMBERSHIP THEN NOTHING CHANGES FOR HOW YOU USE THE SITE.

    If you do wish to get it, then Mark is mentioning "other goodies"

    He has asked for our input on the level of interest.

    Can a mod top this one, please
    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
    Then why call him God? - Epicurus

      Sent a request to Ming. He agreed.

        I was going to close this one and keep it topped so that the discussion could continue in the community forum thread where MarkG is watching it carefully... but since many people never go to the community forum, you can discuss it here as well.
        Keep on Civin'

            I would recommend that if you have something serious to ad to this discussion that you go to the community forum.

              Ugh, if anti pop-blocking tools are implemented, it may be my last visit to Poly.

                Fairly safe to say that this is serious.

                Also consider that IE is going to be updated in the summer with an integrated pop-up blocker. That will effectively kill them both here and elsewhere, so I would just sit tight and wait for the ads to die a natural death. I'm sure they'll be replaced by pop-ins etc, but disable images and I think that solves them (not to a satisfactory degree of course but give mozilla time...).

                Ugh, if anti pop-blocking tools are implemented, it may be my last visit to Poly.
                I agree. Any other takers? Particularly those using blockers?

                    monkspider, read the threads in the Community forum. Mark has said that while possible that this is not probable (Mark, excuse my paraphrasing!).

                    He also states that their are different types of ads available that will get past a pop up blocker.

                    The real problem is that the site cannot survive without revenue. You can still enjoy the same ad free experience without breaking the rules by subscribing.

                    Not to mention the "extra goodies" that are apparently to be a part of the subscription.

                      The only thing that would get me to subscribe is counting OT posts as +1.

                        Not for long. Furthermore, if you disable certain images, or enable images from the originating website only, you pretty much kill image-related ads full stop.

                          I would imagine that the rules would still apply.

                              So how would you propose that Apolyton generate revenue?
