There are other options out there. One has already been named in this thread. This used to be, far and away, the best option available, and for the time being may still be. However, the moderation around here has gone from one of being user friendly, and thanking individuals when they report SPAM, to being more pro-SPAM, allowing it to stay for days, and then banning members who report it for given periods of time. This is causing many of the old guard, myself included, to wonder about the customer service goals of officiating.com and its forum.

How much do you all pay to use this forum?

Our mere presence is payment.

You see, this site uses Google AdSense. Ever notice those funny little ads on the top of the page (especially the ones from bat doctors)? Google pays the site's owners a fixed fee for each time those ads are loaded and viewed on a page. Every time we click one of those ads, they get a little more.

So by simply being here, we are, in effect paying them.

And if people stop coming here...

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

Then one you're blocking via AdBlock or some firewall-based ad zapper.

Not that I know anything about firewall-based ad zappers...





(Okay, maybe I'm running one on my Linux firewall at home...)

I have some issues on my netbook, laptop and desk top. I think there is a lot of extraneous/garbage downloading, mostly graphics that causes a delay just long enough to be an annoyance.
