I just paid the $15 for 6 months ad-free! This site has been so helpful to me already and I've only been here a few days. I hope my contribution helps. It is sure easier on my eyes and makes the pages load about 100x faster! If you didn't know you could remove the ads, I encourage you to do so!
Oh, geekchic, that's wonderful to hear!!
We mods get the ad-free version as a "perk" (actually, it's our salary ), and I love it, too!! It makes a HUGE difference!
Heh. I see no ads on any Web site, using FireFox and the AdBlock plug-in.
'course, that's no reason NOT to donate to the 3fatchicks. They run a great site here, and I know from experience running a site like this is not a trivial endeavor.
