I've noticed too

ShrinkLady, or whoever runs this site, probably changed the plan they were paying for with LiveCloud from one that blocks the ads (most expensive) to one that allows ads?

I wonder if we could donate to help support the cost of keeping the forums, and keeping them ad free?

Thanks, JaneDoe! Shrinklady, I would be willing to donate, too, to keep the board ad-free. Will you let us know?

Ah, that explains it. I thought it was my end!

Hi Everyone, yes, it was an experiment of mine...just to cover some costs. I like the idea of a donation box...I'll give that a go.

i don't like the experiment, personally, not in our posts, on front pages or something, but not in our conversations. really cheapens the intimacy on here. charge me to be here, don't sell me...little jill

Thanks Shrinklady! I've gained so much from this site - I'd be glad to donate to help cover the costs. Thanks for shouldering the expense for so long. I dunno where I would have ended up if it wasn't for running across this site, and this community!
