    Seems very wrong. A friend of mine runs a junior football team and they do a few ‘bag packs’ each year to raise team funds at Morrisons and Sainsbury’s. Far from claiming a cut of the takings, the stores actually tend to put into the pot.

    Well, Knowing Kevs situation, I can understand why he has a comp that cost him what he could afford.

    It can’t be as bad as this old machine, held together with araldite! I kid you not…

    Hi Peter you are too kind to these moaning minnies.:)

    So, in your book the users of this forum can’t complain to the mods if something changes to the detriment of the forum? And if it hasn’t slowed down Kev35’s poverty spec machines, well bully for him. Because it sure as hell slowed mine down. The adverts I could learn to live with, the hammering it was giving my connection, not so.
    I find it sad that a genuine concern is raised (not only here, but by other members in a thread on the historic forum) and basically brushed aside or subjected to snide remarks. Only Peter has taken the time to address concerns and provide a constructive answer, for which I thank him.

    Obviously none (the moaners) of them are so badly off that they have to depend on revenues from advertising to keep their pay check coming in.

    As a bean counter I have no sympathy for pure moaners in the current recession and would rather endure a little ‘pain’ to ensure jobs and companies stay afloat

    So, I should feel sorry for them? Those in the advertising industry would weep tears at the redundancies over the last couple of years in my own line of work, I’m sure.
    But I don’t see what this has to do with the fact that these adverts are intruding on and slowing the forum…

    In reality they should try living in the USA

    No thankyou. Certainly not if the ramming of adverts down one’s throat is even more prevalent over there than it is here.

    mm right, but we didn’t have them until today, and they are tacky.

    I didn’t think it was me going batty, and that they had just popped up today unannounced and unwanted!

    Note to the advertisers: personally, I find the adverts an irritating diversion to what I (frequently) visit this forum for, and am therefore less likely to use/buy whatever goods/services you’re peddling out of principle. 😡

    A couple of adverts in the header pertinent to an aviation forum is fine; However I object to offers to improve my poetry, publish books I haven’t written nor intend to write, provide travel insurance I don’t need because I’m not travelling, or introduce me to online dating because Mrs Blue_2 would kill me dead!

    Please, take this meaningless tat away. It’s slowing down the forum and spoiling it 🙁

    I’ve done all the above T/O, yet I’m still being bombarded with offers to publish my book, charter a private jet, eat out in Newcastle or even help me with my poetry! 😡
    Anybody would think this was an aviation forum… :rolleyes:
