Dear SG Family,
Our message boards are now showing ads. We ran of ad-free pages about a day ago. My concern is this: if I apply 7 credits now, they do not carry over, and we will be wasting some precious dollars (and ad-free pages) just to have 3 days of ad-free pages.
So...........I have decided to wait until February 1 to apply 7 more ad-free credits (we currently have 28 credits remaining to use).
If you have any input about this, please feel free to post your comments in this thread. Thanks.
I would like to know if your feelings have changed any about being able to view the ads on our message boards.
Also, by way of information, we are using 7 credits every 6 - 7 days.
As always, thanks so much for your input and for your understanding.
Love,
Clara

For me...it is no bother. I have block up though. BUT if it causes pain for others, I would be glad to put in a little to keep them ad-free.

Thank you for the information, Clara!
I try to always view pages without being logged in so as to not use up the ad-free pages -- and then only log in to reply to posts or post new threads.
I don't ever see the ads, even when there are no ad-free pages left. I have Norton Ad-blocker (Norton Internet Security) running on my computer and it works wonders on that!
I'm sure those ad-free pages are like cyber-gold on here -- especially to new members who are coming here for support and the last thing they want to see on IHAM, MTOM, IHAS, etc. is an ad for baby-related products. (for me, as a new member, it would have seemed heartless and inconsiderate -- even though it wouldn't be the fault of anyone on here...KWIM?)
BUT I think you made a good call about waiting until the 1st to apply more credits. We need to get everything we can for those credits!
Love and Thanks for all you do,
~tess~

Clara-
I think you are so very, very wise and would support whatever you decide!!! I now do see some of the small ads, but they don't bother me. I have seen some unfortunate choices of ads placed on here, but I know that you are not in control of that. I'm just thankful for SG with or without the ads!

The ads don't bother me at all -- just my two cents.

To be honest, the ads don't bother me at all...
My computer and hook up are fast and I don't look at them...they are small and at least they don't continually pop up on the screen.
Clara, I am just grateful for this site. Thank you
Dominique

Thank you all for your input! That helps me so much!
I did apply some credits towards ad-free pages early this morning..........we have enough credits to keep us ad-free for one more month thanks so those of you who have donated.
Thank you for all of the love you are sending my way (and to Joe, too!). Your love and appreciation of Silent Grief means so much!
Love,
Clara
