When Pugski was started almost eight years ago the community supported us to build it both emotionally and financially and that was great in the beginning to get us going. We were talking about this to one of our most respected members and we said how great it was that we had all this support when we lauched and what every one did for us. He chuckled and said, they didn't do this for you, they did this to you, now it is your responsibility to keep it going.
So, there are new ads. Sorry, you might not like them, quite frankly, neither do we but if we want a site, we need revenue. Just as your cost of living has gone up and to do what you do has gotten higher, so has the cost of us running the site and creating the content that you have come to expect. We have to explore all opportunities to keep the site running.
