You guy's need to stop crying over this. Over the ad's in the post's or in the topic's on here.  He said he is running an test...Give him the break.  I have to deal with this over at the SMF Helper Forum. All the member's don't cry over this...Really you need to stop crying over this....

Thanks Shadow, I was about to post something similar.  We understand you guys are upset and frustrated, but as SMF for free has explained, he is just testing something out.  He sees there are alot of not so happy ppl, so maybe this will help his decision in whether to keep it or not, however, in the meantime,  lets put our criticism to a halt UNTIL he decides.

Thanks guys!  ;)

I'm not guite sure if it is fair to say "crying" ....

I believe everyone realizes it is a test and we are expressing our opinion....how else can that opinion be known except by placing our like or in this case "dislike" if not in this forum...........

Rereading all the posts everyone seems to realize that ads are necessary .... so no one is complaining about ads ...just the specific/choice of  placement of the ads ....

I have many placement choices. You might have noticed I removed the textlinks in the bottom of the posts.
I have some other options including making fake new posts that appear after the first post and after the last post per page.

I can place ads on the bottom of each page of messages posted.

Lots of options to do. Which need to be done in order for me to have more resources to improve this service.

You really think that a Google ads looks good in the middle of a post?

I'm with the others.  While I understand the need for more ads, this placement is very invasive and will eventually drive people away from the service.  I really love SMFForFree, but something like this is a reason for me to go somewhere else for my needs.

Your Welcome Sassy! If you guy's still having problem's with the ad's on the forum and your's too. Please hang tight with him and his staff.  It's very hard to run's few forum's and deal with dump thing's "like this one about the ad's".  I'm not trying to be rude at all.  I'm on staff over at SMF Helper Forum.  And i know how thing's work's around forum's like this one.  Please bar with us little bit longer alright with the ad's.
Do you need help with your forum just ask!!! You can found me on here or on my forum!

I guess people don't understand me when I say, please only post comments if it adds to the discussion.

I've already said watch your mouths. I guess I was asking for too much
