Donations and Adverts.

[Mtemprell]

Don't fancy my chances with this one.... looks well warn out already. Hahaha

On the ops question. It would be great to keep the forums going. Easy to navigate, find the right sections etc etc. 

I actually prefer them. 

But unfortunately, newer generations just want to post and move on Like with other platforms. 

Plus I've actually found that some people don't like forums, because you can't delete/hide negative comments. 

So on fb, if you make a post. You have control over who can comment etc. And still come out smelling of roses. 

Here, they have to face the honest truth, and can't hide from it!... 

Plus they can't be arsed to do the research themselves, where they can just keep asking the same 5 questions over and over hahaha. 

But I'm game to keep the forum as much as possible. 

I'd be interested to know how much it costs to run a forum. I'm not tech minded, so is a genuine interest here? 

I fully agree with what you say about people controlling their posts to make them look rosy and positive.

I do photography as another hobby and the amount of times I post constructive criticism on someone's post who asked for a opinion on their shot then to have my comment deleted because they don't agree with my opinion to help them out, happens way to often especially with the younger generations who think they are the bees knees because their mates say they are. 

Happens way too often hence why I moved away from Facebook and barely comment anymore on Instagram posts.

Honestly social media in general is designed to build a bubble around you, no matter how hard you try.

Turns out the adverts on the top of the screen are still there, at least on my mobile, after you hide them with the little arrow. 

When I try and tap on new notifications it sends me to this clickbait ad site for air conditioners.

They are becoming rather annoying.  I would be interested to know the cost of running the site; if the other options were to keep the adverts or lose the site, I would be willing to contribute to the running costs.

Man, I hope this gets sorted. This is how forums die.

I don’t see ads on here when using the iPad, but I do when using the phone.

All I see is some sick and twisted folk using light mode ?

I'd be willing to donate to remove ads, they get annoying when they cover half your screen every time I change section or thread.

I thought I got an ad for a new film about working at the BBC

Use adguard DNS. Kills most ads.
