A couple of times recently when trying to log on on my phone I've had a message 'You have been banned from this forum', it appears I haven't, is there something odd going on or are the mods just trying to keep me on my toes? Can safely say you absolutely have not been banned. There’s a thread about a similar issue on the proboards support forum, could be something similar. I’ll have a look at your IPs tomorrow when on the laptop and see if we can sort something. You’ve probably got a similar IP on your mobile to an oddball who is banned which is causing the problem.

Must admit that I don't mind paying for ad free views, but one thing that has started to piss me off is that some people are viewing this forum and using up paid views, and then slagging the place off, either on other County forums or twitter(I guess the same on Facebook, but I don't go there) It’s only members who consume the paid views now, we changed it several months ago. All guests/non-logged in members will be served ads, otherwise lurkers get the benefit of an ad-free experience and we’d be having to top up virtually every day based on current traffic. I haven’t seen members slagging this place off anywhere but given we’ve got so many registered users, it is possible. Tbh, we’re probably due a bit of a cull of anyone who hasn’t logged in or posted for the past 12 months.

There are some who literally register and lurk but avoid ad's, cull any that haven't logged in for 12 months maybe.

Is it on a particular device or all? It might be your router or device has picked up a banned IP, if it happens again please check your IP and we can check.

Other than the odd name we recognise, or if we know you personally, expect to have your account deleted if you aren't an active member.

Only on my phone when on mobile data, will try to figure out my IP address

Just a gentle nudge towards the ad-free link if anybody is feeling generous. Views are ramping back up as we approach the start of the season so any contributions would be massively appreciated.

Begging bowl time.
We're really scraping the barrel for ad-free views now. We've had huge views since the season has started (50k+ on match days) so any contributions will be greatly received. Just go to the 'click here to remove banner ads from this forum' at the bottom of the page to contribute anything you can.
TRE and I, along with a couple of very generous posters, have a regular recurring payment that covers the majority of views but doesn't cover everything. There's no danger of the board disappearing or anything like that, it just means you might start seeing a few more ads.
Cheers

Any further donations will be very much appreciated. Can be as little as about £6.

You’ll have noticed the ads are back. Do us a favour and stick a few quid in the pot so we can sack them off please. Page views are through the roof atm as they always are when we’re bad so expect to see them a lot more regularly until we can build up a bit of a backlog of ad-free views again!
Muchos thank you.
