When I got the 1st pop-up, I saw the donate page & thought, "Yeah, I'll throw 'em a coupla' bucks for putting up with me, or buy a sticker, or something," but the damn thing is so pushy, I've decided to turn off AdBlockPlus just long enough to make this post. I donate to other sites that have the donation banner where the ads would be & I'll keep this one on my favs to try & surf if it'll let me, but I don't really ever see myself turning it off again, so... That may not be a big deal to some, but I had real intentions of contributing here. Teaser pic:

just whitelist the site in adblocker.

the ads on the site aren't that bad/pushy and don't interfere with posting.
they are what keep this site funded and allow me to do things like the virtual nats, broadcast the CofC, and when there's enough, I buy beer and hot dogs for everyone at the nats.

Astro- I whitelisted this site. Thanks for making this one of the best FREE websites out there. If more people donatedon a regular basis (me included), Astro wouldn't need ad revenue to keep the lights on. However, until he or one of us wins the lottery, quitcherbitchin and put up with the ads.

I agree with Reed. We live in a society where everyone expects free stuff. This is a great site and resource. I don't post much but have learned a great deal from the knowledge that exists here. I am no longer able to use the site at work because admin has ad block locked in, but it's a small price to pay for a great resource.

I have no issues disabling adblocker on this site, but I seem to have to do so on each page/thread I open whether I click do not run on this page, or don't run on this domain.

I open the page and have to quickly pause adblock before the notification comes up. Otherwise it turns into a curse fest, and several times I just quit trying.

Turning off adblocker completely makes my laptop so slow on some other sites I want to throw it in a blind rage and search out a sledgehamer.

I wanted to make good on a small donation before I posted again, but a big THANK YOU for getting rid of that pop-up! I have much to share in the near future, and I will certainly join back in just as soon as I get a little more time. Thanks, Cotton
