you people who are complaining obviously have never been on a truley free forum.
There are add banners up the top, down the sides and inbetween ever few posts. How often are you looking at the very top and very bottom of the page anyway? its the content in the middle that keeps you coming back to this forum not the pretty pictures in the header and footer of a page.
before you continue to bitch and complain about Christians decisions to help him pay for his forum costs, think about how much this really impacts you? Does having these banners cause any direct impact to you and your day to day life? no, they dont.
Now do having these banners, or more importantly does not having these banners impact PranK's life? yes it does! He is recently married, has a kid and also has a interest in imported cars and on top of that he alone has to pay for these forums to run!
Yes, he takes donations, yes he has traders on the forum who pay to use these forums to do busines.. but these are very smally amounts compared to the monthly running of this place. Donations are even smaller % of funds used to run this place.. how far do you think your $10, $20, $50 is going to go when you only do it once... I have donated a few times over the years and I plan on donating more in the time to come and I still no it barely makes a difference, but with everyone doing that it would make everything a lot easier or Christian.
so back to my original point, how much do these banners seriously affect you?
