If you show up with an ad blocker and load ten pages of QB or any other website, you are consuming resources from them and providing no revenue. It’s like going to a restaurant and eating for free. How long do you think the restaurant will stay in business operating like that?

The ads on this site are minimal once you are a registered member. They have always been there and there has been almost no mention of them before the change of ownership. True, there are some changes happening and it’s hard to tell at this point whether they are glitches or actual intended changes, but think about the future of your own actions in all this and give the new guys time to work out the bugs. I, for one, would much rather have a couple ads hanging around than have to pay a subscription fee to read the content of the board.
