Feedback: Ads with sound

[ChrisMWilliams]

First of all, thanks for your input. Don't think for a second that these ads aren't annoying as hell to us either. They are.

I contacted this company on Monday and said if the sound doesn't go away, we're done with them, despite the fact that our site's revenue will drop dramatically. The company has assured me that an end is coming to this in the coming week. If not, we're done.

But please don't come on here and threaten us. This site is 100 percent free of charge. If you want to pay 100 bucks a year, then you have all the right in the world to go elsewhere for your Cyclone fix.

With rising traffic and rising costs to CF every day, we have to do things like this to keep the site free. Thanks to those who understand that and again, your voice has been heard.

We are on it. Have a great day.

If there is anyone who has worked harder to make a free site work that CW, I would be absolutely shocked.

Thanks, CW! The ads are annoying, but it really is nice to have somebody like you working on it.

I really hate them too, so what I’m gonna do is **** and moan like an impotent jerk and then bend over and take it up the tailpipe.

I really wanted to find the appropriate clip but was unable.

Nobody is going away because of these, but they really do stink.

Couldn't find the clip, but found the sound bite.

Is there any chance we could have the option of paying to make the site ad-free? I've paid for a lot of Android apps just to get them ad-free and I use this site a lot more than them.

No.

The owners of this site are committed to making CF 100 percent free.

I am member of a different forum that has used that model. The forum is still free for anyone to join, read, discuss, etc. However, there is an option for people to donate a very small sum of money, and that donation gives them access to an ad-free site. Still a free site, but the option to get rid of ads.

Weatherunderground.com works that way. It has been a very effective model for them.
