Re: What's with all the Pop-up ads?

We do not use true "pop-up" ads. If you see them, they are either something indirect from ThirdGen or they are misbehaving ads. Send me a screen capture to jt@thirdgen.org as well as a click-through link so that we can investigate.

The site is free to use by members, however, the site is nowhere near free to operate. The site cannot operate on a typical 9.99/month GoDaddy plan between the amount of bandwidth and hits this website sees. Paying for the operations of the website, and given the website is owned by a for-profit corporation, means the ads are necessary. Few things are free (or ad-free).
