Ok guys, the forum has been running for a few months now. Its time to start tweaking.

ANYTHING that you like or DO NOT like let us know.

Remember we need feedback to make this forum as best as it can be we have a lot of freedom with the layout, but we need responses to get started.

How do you guys feel about the ads? they really do not annoy me too bad but we can still get rid of them.

All I see is a message saying to consider supporting the site by disabling the ad-blocker.

It makes me violently angry.

Do you have a pop up blocker installed? Have you had it happen with any other websites?

1. I'm not sure, though it's true that I tend to disfavor pop-up blockers because in the past I've found they prevent certain desired things.
2. Pretty sure I have, but nowhere else lately.

I suspect a rogue ad was allowed into the banner-ad rotation. Maybe the site owner has already weeded it out by now.

I'll see what I can find out for you, thanks for letting me know. I used adblocker or adblocker plus for safari on my mac and it actually works really well. We are looking at removing adds from the site entirely but looking at how we will fund such an endeavor!
