Default s2ki full-page adds for members?

So as it says, s2ki now has full page google adds that happen on PMs, edits to posts, logon etc.

And this is for regular members as well (not sure about gold members), so WTF?

What is the need to add this annoying advertising (which for me at least is broken and won't even auto forward to the next page) to loyal paying members? I could see adding it to non-members, but if this is how it's going to be for members, please refund a pro-rated amount back to me and make me a guest again.

Or please let us know if this is a temporary error that is being addressed.

Thanks.

Buy a membership.



Seriously--cthree is aware of this (it was brought to his attention in the Site Info forums) and he's working to correct it so that members won't see the ads.

I've been avoiding becoming a member for a long time because I really have no reason for it since all the sub-forums I'd use a member are the same ones I'd use as a guest. I'm not sure, though.. Maybe I'd like to support S2Ki. Eh.. I'll think about it later.

Wow, talk about really sticking it to the man. Atleast as a Guest the advertising is helping to pay for the site via click4$$. As guests we should all do this.

But blocking even the ad's, common that's hitting below the belt.
