Shaun - How much do you make on adsense from the average member? I bet you would make 10 fold if you gave members an option to subscribe as premium members for say $10 a year in exchange for our $10 we would have a larger inbox and not have to see ads in threads. if 1000 members opt in then your 10k better off if you want to hook me up 2% for the idea then i wont be opposed
there are alot of members who donot have 1$ and what will be the payment processor alot of people here not supported by paypal
you can also use NoScript and Forbid Google Syndication. i haven't seen any ads here from Google and you don't have to either.
anyone calling themselves a webmaster who does not have a paypal account simply does not deserve to have $1 IMO ok 1 or 2 country restrictions, but 99% of members have a paypal account. i for 1 would be happy to pay 10 bucks even if it gives me a bigger inbox, i must go through 500 pm's in a week easily as for blocking ads - i dont like to do that, block one and i block them all, sometimes i want to see ads on relevant sites.
to be fare id pay $10 for an unlimited inbox, i get fed up with saving my PM's to CSV files , ive got archives and archives of just DP pm's alone.
Adblock can be site specific i.e. only blocks ads on certain sites, or blocks ads on all sites except for the ones you don't want. It can also only block adsense ads and show the rest, etc.
