Would you like the paid or free version of the forum?
Re: To Pay Or Not To Pay - That Is The Question
It appears that presently we are at a 50/50 split on the vote. The domain name is set to renew ( or be lost ) on November 27th.

Re: To Pay Or Not To Pay - That Is The Question
I am not sure a one-person-one-vote poll is really the best fit for the situation. I think that a domain name with no ads is preferable for everyone. However, that comes at a price. If those who want it a lot come up with the money, others will gladly accept the benefits.
You could start a GoFundMe drive, or something similar. The amount of money donated would determine which way the forum goes.

Since I posted in the thread I can't vote anymore.. however getting rid of the ads can be done without any additional costs, so the question is whether we want to keep the domain name that was shared at MDA (blog and forum), since most didn't use the forumotion one, or not. It will likely make it harder for people to find us.. then again the MDA forum is bound to be closed sooner rather than later..
I returned to Firefox, since Edge showed a warning for this forum yesterday, due to certain Google ads (timing or what!) and installed both uBlock Origin and DuckDuckGo. The first one to remove all ads (regardless of being logged in or not) and the second to get rid of trackers etc as I don't want my info to be shared as it's none of anyone's business where I roam on the internet.. plus it makes it more secure as well. Some of you have got no idea of what Google and social media are capable of, least of all how the info they provide to you is filtered, due to what you share on the internet..

Easy enough to find the same info for other browsers.

I doubt that we'll have any more users come in by way of the info posted at MDA. To my experience, it would be quite difficult to find it now.
