For some reason or other proboards has now re-positioned the Google ads that appear on the home page. You will also notice a placement between the 1st & 2nd post within a thread. While i do have a complaint in on the support board, as do many others, i just wanted to ask you people if you use these ads or not. The new placement of the ads ruins the flow and appearance of the board (IMO) and is very unattractive. What do you guys & gals think?

I DONT! The only ads I think are o.k. are the Orbitz ads in which you can play games and things. It does ruin the flow of the boards. :smileymudcats: :smileymudcats: :smileymudcats:

Despite the complaints it appears Proboards is not gonna move these ads. So, it looks like we are stuck with this nonsense. Needless to say i am a bit pissed........

Ok well, i sent some PM's to the Proboard owners/admins and it appears they have fixed our board and replaced the ads back at the top. Hopefully, it lasts and if anyone from proboards is out there, THANK YOU!

It don't look fixed to me. Still an ad between the first and second post.

Having the google ads on the main page beneath the espn ticker drove me crazy. Made the board less appealing. The ads between the threads is doable. Not my preference, but i can deal with it........

I never noticed them and don't use them, but that's a good question do you pay for this board?
If this board needs so many hits on the adds for it to be free, I click on them.

Do you pay for proboards? No, these boards are free to use. We can go "ad free" but it cost $7 per 50,000 page views. I paid for that last month and we burned thru that in under 10 days. So basically, to do that here for a month would cost us no less than $21. Obviously, paid hosting elsewhere would be cheaper.
