Hi All
Maybe just my system, but used to be able too suppress advertising materials from appearing here on Exploroz, Is it still possible?
I appreciate advertising is revenue, but for them appearing in
forum between topics is a little too much for me I'm afraid.
Cheers
Flighty

Guys glad you noticed - BUT very interesting is that these are exactly the same ads we had in the Header and Footer before we just moved them into the thread listing. If you open any other site area like
blogs or articles you will see the same original header and footer ads we always had in the
forum. These are the ones we moved.
Members Ad suppression is always on for any Island ads (we have a large one of these if you are not a member).
I would love to have no ads but to be honest - no ad revenue no real business I am afraid. I cannot stop you from suppressing them but unless we generate revenue in this very tight economy then we will cease to operate. It is getting very very hard already and the operating costs are not reducing as fast as the revenue is drying up.
At the end of the day we welcome everyone to the site, hope you like it and gain something from it, if you want to suppress our revenue options, not buy from the
shop, not become a member etc these are all up to you and we do not think better or worse for it, we just hope that we all contribute.
David
Happy to take any
feedback on board as always on this or any other aspect or element of the site.

Don't mind them at all. Occasionally click on them and some are worthwhile looking at.

Michelle and David has given valid input as far as ExplorOz ownership is concerned and I appreciate where they are coming from.
I use an ad blocker as a general guard against unwanted distractions on any web site I access, not specifically ExplorOz.
When I visit a URL, I do so for a specific purpose and don't want interactive distractions to take me away from the purpose of my visit.
