I can cope with them, but small sub fees to remove them seemed to have worked well on other sites i visited, but either way I'll survive
realistically though, the only one that really actually bothers me is the top google one, the side bar ones are copable
on a side note, i'd buy a paflyfish.com shirt or something like that on the comment about selling stuff.
although i do think somewhere along the line my point got missed, im not saying remove or change the site at all, basically leave it exactly as it is, but a "supporter" logs in the and the ads go away, but if the ads per user make more than say $20 a year I can see how it wouldn't work. I don't really know what the ads on the site make per person per year, but i wouldn't think it would be that much. and for the regular "free" user it looks and works just like it does now.
either way, it was just an idea
also i noticed this brought up above, if you get a percentage of purchase for using this site as a portal to the ads site, is there anyway to make a "portal page" basically a list of links to the different sites that give the site a kickback? i order from orvis a good bit and if theres a dedicated link for this site to get a kickback, post it up and i'll use it.
