    I was always happy this was a place that didn't have them,
    I guess those days are over.
    Affiliate links in banner ads ?

    I guess it is what it is - It's just something expected at other forums, I never
    expected to see it here.

    We were working on an announcement just now after launching the ads in the past hour, but you beat us to the punch. We were happy about not having ads too as it certainly made the site look cleaner, but it's been 4+ years since launch and we must monetize the site and prefer not to charge for membership.

    Yes.

    We never made a promise not to advertise as we've been consistent from the start that our objective with this site was to eventually monetize it, and the best way to monetize a site is by listening to your users and giving them what they want so that they enjoy the site and return. We've always strived to do that here at GF.

    We have attempted to make the ads as unobtrusive as possible by simply having one at the top and another at the bottom (non-logged in users also see them embedded in the middle of threads).

    If you have any suggestions or ideas on how we can monetize the site without them, we are very open to hearing those. Likewise for any ideas on how to improve the advertising.

    To be absolutely clear, we are not beholden to the Casinos that appear as advertisements on the site nor do we owe them any form of loyalty. Our uncensored nature of course extends to any criticism of them, and those advertisements won't affect how we administer our site in any way, shape, or form. They are simply a means for us to monetize a site we have been subsidizing for more than 4 years. Nothing more, nothing less.

    As always, we look forward to hearing everyone's feedback on how to improve this and any aspect of the site.
