TANSTAAFL. The money to support the site has to come from somewhere, and I'm not sure I could convince my beloved that spending close to $4,000 per year on a hobby was justified... [img]graemlins/troutslap.gif[/img]

An option for paying members to see the site without ads is very reasonable, IMHO. And I think that popups, like most small, insignificant creatures, should be taken out into the back yard and shot, multiple times... I find them extremely offensive. A nice tasteful banner ad is much better.

If half the thousands of members could make their way to a buck a month, the money-hosting issues would be over.
