So, now that things have calmed down a little on the home front for me, I thought I would revisit the forum and publicising it.

There is stuff I can do for free and some of it I have done already but to have facilities like a gallery, maybe our own domain name and decent publicity requires some cash to be spent. As you probably all know I don't get anything from the forum and I'm not really looking for it to generate an income as such but if we are to achieve the thing I have mentioned it will need to fund itself.

The big question is, are you prepared to accept adverts in order to achieve that? I usually get a pretty weedy response to polls but this is a big one. Please vote!! Comments are of course welcome and I have opened the poll to guests too as I am interested in their opinion.

Also if you use Firefox or Chrome you can get AdOns and plugins that will stop or hide ads being shown on your Browser.

I'm an avid devotee of ad-blockers, so it wouldn't affect my view of the forum barring one or two void spaces here and there, so if you think we'll be better off, then I say go for it!

I agree with what has been expressed. If you can get better facilities that way, I am in favour.

I think it would be helpful to hear from the 3 people (so far) who voted 'No' or 'No Way' as to why they made that decision.  Do we know whether they're members or guests?

The poll is skewed - I was able to cast three votes all at one time by ticking three boxes and all three registered.

Even taking into account a 'certain person' trying to b****r up the poll, 25% of the votes are against having advertising on the forum - and 6 say they'll leave immediately. Sad 

Any idea of what you'll do next Penny?
