Firefox browser has recently blocked a huge list of third party software, all ad blockers have been eliminated. Time to switch to Chrome.

It makes the site look cluttery and unprofessional.
Dude, this site has yet to raise itself to the level of being unprofessional. Novice, hack, beginner are better terms to describe this site. Perhaps, you need to get out more and visit well run forums to see what they're actually like.

I would enjoy advertisements on the sides as long as they are appropriate ads. I guess I am used to seeing them.

Maybe BSH1 can have a vote on site ads. You guys might be surprised how many members would support it, and the site can't exist without the members.

Good Gott no, I can just picture it now:

 "30 million people are playing this adult dating sim find out why"

 "They thought nobody was filming CLICK THE LINK NOW YOU SHAMELESS PERV!"

 "You won't BELIEVE what these child actors look like now"

 "50 keto diet tips for slimmer waistline"

 *Naruto videogame except with scantily clad women*

"Amazing Pikachu and Eevee fanart designed by furries"

 "Hillary Clinton plastic surgery find out more"

(Also, no ads please...unless they feature shirtless guys with washboard abs.)
Your gay?  I don't mean that in a rude way, so don't block me for saying anything against the CoC.

When Mike realises that to get Ad revenue, you need to reveal your true identity or true corporation on the website in order to maintain ownership of the revenue stream (if you own an LLC, you have to reveal your identity so this is not a false dichotomy), then I think he will opt out.

Since the owner whines about money all the time it's a good idea.

You made the claim.  I'm not sure if it's accurate.

So what if I did? If you want to research it do it yourself.

Ads don't bring in members, they bring in revenues at the cost of it's membership. Members join and stay if the forum is well run and doesn't have ads, but this forum is not well run, it's abysmal. This can easily be seen via the statistics and the fact they're talking about putting in ads. It's easy to see that this site is not flourishing or ever will until bsh is fired and they get someone in here who knows what they're doing. Putting in ads is just another slap in the face of the membership here.

i didn't even notice that you could donate to this site until someone asked why RM had the colors spin around his profile pic (we should name that spin thing something) much less have a patreon you should advertise it a bit more but not be to obnoxious about it like create a form with a link to it or something if there isn't one or something else

Yeah, you are probably right, but I really don't want to be intrusive about it.

talk to the mods about it to decide what to do.
but my recommendation is to just to a view only post and pin it like the rules just put it at the bottom of them and just word it well at not seem like you are asking for money

It might be possible to mention it in some of the pinned threads.
