You mean the 10% counts as 20% or 30%???

Would not mind paying for the site, although visits have been rather infrequent as of late. But I like the work these guys have done and if they need us we shall be there.

So long...

Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

I'll happily pay a fee.
I am not bothered by pop-ups.
I think that ads in posts are ok as long as they do not obscure text. If they are in the same place, you soon ignore them.

With the implementation of these wonderful new in-post banner ads, I'd like to ask that there be some kind of subscriber thing to get rid of them. Please. They're horribly distracting to the flow of things. Plus, it seems most people complaining about them are the ones that would pay to get rid of them.

1) these ads are still EXPERIMENTAL. we've yet to decided what we'll do with them
2) it goes without saying that subscriber will see ZERO number of ads. nothing. nada. tipota (greek for "nothing")

Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

and in case you dont read the news in the about section (reminder: http://apolyton.net/about) the current idea for the google ads are to partially replace popups in one of the forum styles

So we will be able to choose a style without those goddamn Google ads? Nothing has annoyed me this much since the slow loading problems we had in spring of 2001.

If this is limited to some forum styles then it's fine. People can choose what kind of ads, or none when the new subscriber thing kicks in.
