I was just over on the jjhuddle site, (yes I pay the $12/year), not only are the threads littered with advertising as you scroll down, I am now getting pop up ads whilst trying to read threads.

What the fuck does my $12 pay for if I am constantly subjected to their advertising?

Curious in Wooster.

Cash grab.

They are running the site all wrong. If you're going to charge a subscription fee for a website it should come without ads.

Would you make a ghost post for me on the "connect the post" thread? Curious in Austintown.

What do you mean what is up with it? It's an ad.

Justin, I hope you're selling the ad space and not just doing AdSense.

On a related note, how many hops/clicks do you get per month, on average?

It's spelled Strar Gazer now. Didn't you see the Smurfette thread?

Excellent idea!

The ad in the pro sports forum is through shareasale. The rest are adsense.
