Let me pay to not see ads

I would love to have the option to pay a monthly or yearly subscription to get an ad-free version of the site. I absolutely will never click on ads so you're not getting any ad revenue from me anyway, and it really slows down the site and hurts user experience. I understand that you need to make money, but I think you might find that you actually make more money this way.

Also, as feedback on the ads, I quite often see diet ads here! That doesn't really seem appropriate at all. Especially dodgy fad ones.

Thanks for your suggestion and feedback! You'll see some major changes in a few weeks. Premium membership will come soon after.

how will premium membership affect those that dont want to pay?

say what?!

i dont like this one bit.

pardon my french- but there aint no _____ way!

How will this affect people that are unable to pay the premium membership ?

Wow. That escalated quickly. I love this site, but don't think I could pay.

Good going misty! :P

Laura be our voice as sleever of the month and convince alex not to change thing and put the bottom right chat room back.

I assume that premium membership simply means paying not to see ads. I'm greT t ignoring them for free.

That's what I'm thinking... It's just for the elitist snobs... I MEAN the people that have the extra income to circumvent the ads :P

Yes I assume that the non-premium site would simply have ads like now. Why are people freaking out?

Yeah same here.. Nobody has to pay me to ignore crap I don't want to see. But to each his own :D

Hehehe...

Not sure why people are freaking out. I think Alex thinks up these things just to get some slug blood flowin' (and then sits back and has a good laugh) ;)
