FYI:
I am going to pay a minimal amount $8 for 50,000 page views to remove the banner ads.
I am unsure if that takes care of the entire forum or if you need to do it for your own personal account as well.

Weird, I tried to reply to the Howard stern post and it would not let me proceed till I paid. But this thread was fine. It must prompt you every so often.

Ok, so it looks like anyone can contribute to purchasing ad free banners for the site.
I paid 8.00 for 50,000 page views as I had no idea how many we use.
Today was 12,000! Geesh!

This year we had between 220,000 and 320,000 page view per month.
Jan 2017 - 323,173
Feb 2017 - 283,574
Mar 2017 - 218,516
Apr 2017 - 236,248
May 2017 - 280,367
Jun 2017 - 256,912
Jul 2017 - 253,185
Aug 2017 - 227,919
Sep 2017 - 149,818
We can have 250,000 for US$25/month or 500,000 for US$48/month
I think we should opt for the 25/month and turn on overdraft (only charged for what we go over).

I don't want to put my credit card in or be charged on a monthly basis if we go over.
I might spring for 100,000 free page views at the beginning of each month and then someone else (anyone else) can do the same
Or they may even have the option to remove ads just for themselves. I am not going to worry about it.
Unless people think a better option is for everyone to donate $10 to $15 to the wbtd paypal fund and I can collect the money and then use that money to remove the ads.
Discuss amongst yourselves :grin

I never see the ads. I have Chrome Ad blocker so that must be working.
I would be willing to contribute some $$ to do whatever for the greater good of wbtd. lol Let me know what you all decide.

You aren't seeing the ads because I already paid to remove them (for the first 50k page views)
which will probably expire this week. :flashing-lol

I will do whatever, can pay for some views, can send PayPal, can deal with the banner ad. Whatever everyone decides.

For $3 a month each user can buy proboards+ which makes it ad free for that user plus they get a badge that goes under your avatar.

I hate ads so I'm kicking in $6/month to cover 50,000 page views. That's like 3 coffees for me at Timmies. I get more enjoyment from WBTD than 3 coffees.  |

I see your purchase and you just gave us 50,000 more Ad- Free page views! I will do the same thing to get us to 100,000 per month. Then everyone else is on their own  |

I'll happily contribute! Should I wait until someone says it's "your turn", or should I wait until I see ads so that I know it has to be done, or should I just go ahead and do it? If the site stores up purchased ad free pages like a bank stores up your money, then I'll just go ahead and do it.

How about you wait until the ads come back?
That means we used the 100,000
And people can take turns and just post here when they bought more.
That way we will all be informed.
I will announce status as well.
