(I'm leaving in the context-sensitive google ads on the top of the forum for now only because they can be amusing and/or relevant to topics (for now), but other than that..)
Big announcement: the website pages have been scrubbed of google ads!
now we have something very new.. CodyQuotes!
Here's a screenshot:

The idea is to show a random little excerpt (teaser) from some of the fun (and some negative!) testimonials/quotes sent in by people. When you click on it you can read the whole thing and other quotes - and on that page we make a pitch to donate.
The idea of replacing the ads with these are that:
- we have more control and don't feel like suckers begging for advertising dollar pennies
- we might even do better financially if this encourages more donations
- they are just more fun and less obnoxious.
- it will encourage more people to send in comments
Note: currently while testing, many pages show 2 blocks of these, one at top and one at bottom left. I think we will make it alternate between these and not show both at same time.
Well, what do you think?
(if you are a member you might have ads turned off so you might never see them anyway).
