We’re moving to a new server that 3X the power compared we have now. Since nothing is free, that is doubling our hosting costs. So, we tried a deal with the ad server that does those ads.
I was hesitant and was only hoping that they’d show up on the left sidebar where we don’t put our content anyway. They’d get eyeballs, we’d get some extra coin to pay the difference without having to ask you all for money. I seem to be constitutionally unable and uncomfortable to make that ask.
It makes no sense for us to up the user experience in getting a server that serves up pages faster only to make you want to throw stuff at your screen. And yes, we’ve had complaints. Now, I’d like to quantify things from YOUR perspective – keep it or deep six’em? If it’s the latter, we’ll figure something else out because the LAST thing we want to do is torque you all off over them.
So, if you would please! Poll is open through Thursday at 11:59pm. Vote once, please.
We’ll announce the results on Friday.
