I am a little surprised that your comment is the first one about the change.

By nature, people do not like change.

So let me get this straight:

You are annoyed by ads that help the owner of this site keep this portion FREE.

I can be annoyed but silent on this issue.

If you want to speak of annoying we can talk about three specific people that post here.

Regards,

Ads? I don't see any ads. Adblock Plus on Firefox must be doing its job.

I only see small ads at the top between the title link and the actual threads. Not annoying at all. Most websites have adds now. Maybe if more people who use this forum actually were paid members......

To be honest, I see no benefit from being a member. The $25 you end up paying just to see articles is a bit much. Especially, when as an umpire, there are so many other dues, fees that you have to pay. JMO

I just added it to Firefox. I use a Mac and Safari seems to be a bit slower than before, so I've been using Firefox and had forgotten at add this add-on.
