I dont think you'd be the only one, and ive seen other sites with a subscription ad-free version. Might be something worth looking into.
I'd chip in for this too. NOT for exclusive content just ad free/reduced. Keep sponsor ads obviously.

Thanks and I'm glad that you realize that. We have an awesome cast of characters who contribute to this site and they don't work for free. We're always trying to make CF better. Not take away from it.

Thanks for the input but I will NEVER get rid of our loyal, local advertisers. These people are the reason we got off the ground in the first place. We have some QUALITY supporters who I'm proud to say we've really helped over the last year too. When I say "we," I mean all of you Cyclone fanatics. Branding local businesses as "Cyclone businesses" is one of my favorite things about what this site does.
I would quit using the site if I had to pay a subscription fee. I don't give a flying **** about the ads at the bottom. Frankly, I don't even notice them anymore.
The reason you some of you guys are probably noticing slower load times is because you're still stuck in the stone ages and using internet explorer. A small breeze outside can throw that browser for a loop and you'll be locked up for hours. I have no problems using Chrome.
Oh you are totally right. The slow load time must be because I am still using my Apple II. Give me a break man, you shouldn't need a fancy new computer to operate a forum. That alone should be enough info to prove that the site is getting ad happy. I love this place, I don't fear change, by I fear this site being just like all the other forums out there that "sold out".
