    Default Advertisements vs. Donations

    Shawn,
    If I pay to become a donator again, would those annoying ads (google ads) not show up for me?

    I haven't seen it before, so I am assuming it was hidden because I was a Donator? or is this ad something new that you came up with?

    No hard feelings, I just find some of those ads really annoying and distracting. If by being a donator, its not displayed, I will do it right away (I am going to do it anyways...)

    Or is there any option to turn it off from my account's control panel?

    Ditto. But I understand why they are there.

    There are adblockers for such situtations.

    Then again, you could just contribute a lil and not be bothered by them

    Yep, regular members would see the ads but donators would not see the ads At least if your not donating being a donator the ads are a way to contribute

    I only noticed it recently (since my donation time expired) and its been really annoying

    The crappy thing is that most of those ads are totally useless...like the fish auction ad for example which is US based and VERY expensive prices.

    Maybe I will win in the monthly prize and I can get Donator again
    If I dont win, it will be a few months before I can donate...just got a job, but still in debt
