[OzzModz] Google Adsense tips and visual overview of ad positions

Guests vs. Members

Ask yourself: Do you really want to show ads to your precious members?
Your members are the people who keep your forum alive, they are your forum! Do you want to annoy them with ads or should you reward them with an ad free experience?

YES. Honestly, we are not annoying our members, even they say so (OK, may one to three, but they get annoyed if we do anything different). They understand that without advertising, the site would not exist. They do a very good job of supporting the advertisers who support the site. We have a good amount of advertisers who want to access our members and I could lose them if we did this, that could be tens of thousands of dollars.
