No ads please.

You Americans are weird. Most of you actually WANT ads don't you? I mean fair enough if Robin REALLY needs to do that but he hasn't hinted at that as far as I've seen. Hopefully donations will keep the site ad free and all the pinball related businesses can be shared informatively and discussed in the threads WITHOUT PREJUDICE and if they are good guys and deliver a good service then that will spread by word of mouth. That's how business should work. Do something well - get paid fairly. Call me a communist if you like but modern advertising is just a horrible thing.

You've just paraphrased Akuma's joke.

I could write a small essay on the subject but it would take time and effort and I really can't be bothered and I doubt anyone would appreciate hearing my opinions anyway. If someone is willing to debate me then I suppose I could but it's pretty off topic. I'll just settle with expressing my preference for having no advertising on Pinside if possible. Of course it's Robin's choice and if he does choose to bring in adverts then I'm sure I'll survive. I might think twice about donating though.

I don't understand what you are saying.

All these large animated gifs aren't helping I'll guess although I'm not techy with web stuff but do most people even realise that Pinside hosts all those files that are uploaded? Maybe the uploading features should be kept for more Pinball related purposes?

You're right obviously. I wasn't seriously suggesting all Americans think the same but they do have a more positive attitude to advertising in my opinion.

What does advertising have to do with tax?
