Give a couple bucks or what ever you feel is appropriate. This isn't a solicitation or request, just a suggestion, although I know Eve appreciates any support we can offer. Why, or how can anybody run a service where it costs "you" money to run and you get nothing in return?. Does anybody here run such a service?.

Perhaps we could have a tiered level of accounts? For instance, a free account means having ads on BN, a standard paid account for x amount of money per year gets you an ad-free BN, while a deluxe account also gets some other perks such as a larger inbox for private messages, a larger avatar or something else? I think such an arrangement would be a reasonable accommodation for those who are willing and able to donate to get rid of the ads and those who have no issue tolerating the ads. I don't know how much behind the scenes work such an arrangement would require, but I think it would provide an excellent incentive for members to contribute to the site.

Everybody wants a free ride and no commitment !! There is always a price attached to a freebie as money grows not on trees .

Be assured that I'm working on the problem as best I can and am trying to find a solution.The problem seems to be that the ad syndicators are not checking the ads well before they accept them. There have been ads that tell you to update your Flash and then send you to somewhere not Adobe to install something dubious. I have had these come up immediately after installing the latest Flash from the official site. I have had ads tell me my Windows Media Player is out of date, please update and I am on a Mac!!!. Some of the ads use nasty techniques to get your attention. They sit in the background for a minute or two and then pop up, taking over the screen. Doing this probably also gets them around the evaluation processes of the syndicators (who probably display the add for 10 seconds and then tick it off).

The ads do not seem to effect the use of the site on a windows computer, at best they are just a little anoying when using my android phone. However accessing the site on my Apple iPad is so frustrating I dont even bother.

Thanks for your idea. It's certainly something to think about.
