Another 100k in, thank you very much.
Please do keep them coming. TRE and I have got a recurring card payment each month to keep it ticking over but will be good to have plenty of views in the bank for when the games start again and views rocket.

I'm still umming and arring about donating towards an ad free board. The reasons are simple and hope Suede or TRE can answer. 1) how intrusive are the ads, and do they really make it difficult to read the forum? 2) if I donate and pay for views, then does that include all views, or just views from registered users? If it includes all views(lurkers), then why not make the forum visible for registered users only(if possible). I know it doesnt stop people registering and not posting,and it's only a little more hassle, but it stops any views building up if a particular thread/post gets interesting and a link is posted elsewhere. Cheers in advance, as I know at least one of you will reply

The answer is probably subjective but they get in the way for me. There’s typically two on the forum main page (where you see the ‘All things County’ text and info about who is online, and then they embed in the actual threads themselves, so in between replies. Good question, and I’m not 100% sure but guess it’ll be for all views. We could make the board visible for registered members only but my theory would be that would deter new people from signing up. We know that most people read and then sign up to contribute, I think locking away and putting a big barrier up straight away would put people off. It’d certainly put me off looking at and signing up for a board. So it’s not something we’re considering at the moment. Tbh, we’re doing ok for ad-free days at the moment (certainly the next month or so) but as always any contributions that ease the cost on me and are hugely appreciated 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

There’s typically two on the forum main page (where you see the ‘All things County’ text and info about who is online, and then they embed in the actual threads themselves, so in between replies. Fair enough, would it be possible to try it for a trial period with ads?... just wondering that's all. Good question, and I’m not 100% sure but guess it’ll be for all views.

It is only a simple process but you’d be surprised how the smallest of obstacles can cause a huge drop off. It is only a simple registration process, but I don’t really see what the benefit of making people register to view is? Have checked btw, and ad-free is only for registered customers. Non-logged in users/guests will see ads.

I'm still a bit undecided on how much to commit until I see where the majority of fans post once the season starts again, but I'm certainly up for contributing if this place takes off.
