Thank you Del'

[TheBad1]

Just a heads up that Del has paid for the board to be Ad free.

Above and beyond me thinks ... so thank you Del'

Ah shucks, I was going to keep that a minnie secret ... No worries. One ad gone crazy was too much for me this month. Glad to see them gone for a spell.

And thank you for popping in to apply the credit.

I am gobsmacked! Thanks Depart - that was such a wonderful thing to do.

[delpart]

Let's call it part of a fresh start from the New Year's fiasco too. I had been planning to see what people felt of the ads to see if it was worth it.

And cause I'm forgetting my manners: You're most welcome. It's the least I can do.

Thank you Delpart. That's awesome!

Nice move. More room for art in the forum.
Thank you very much.

[Helen]

Thank you, Del. That's so awesome of you to do that.

Apologies mate.
I should have discussed it with you first. It was such a nice gesture, plus I was flapping around trying to get organised for a day out ... that I didn't stop to think. Sorry

But you deserve credit where credit's due ... it's an awesome thing to do for the community. Maybe it should be me forking out for being one of the instigators of the 'fiasco'

Personally I prefer the board like this ... seems a bit quicker and more responsive.

Thank you very much Del. What a wonderful gesture. I know you wanted it kept quiet but I think Welshy does have a point - you deserve some recognition for such a generous act. I think everyone on this board will appreciate the ads disappearing. Nice one.

[delpart]

Again, you're all most welcome and to WB, no worries there. I appreciate the nod.

Especially after it appears I stuck both feet in my mouth with NN on the main forum to some degree ...

Perhaps somebody can point her to this gesture to show I'm not an evil bastard bent on destroying her ego. ;D Or in other words, I think I made a boo-boo and I'm even gonna fess up to it here.

As a side note, it should be more responsive. The problem with their ad service is it does look at your ip, etc (I did a basic capture on a load) and tries to tailor up the ads to some degree. Good service though in comparison to many that they could be running so I'll not be doing any bashing. I just had bad luck when I clicked on one by mistake with way too much going on.

Heck the fact I ended up clicking on the ad due to frame resize should be justification enough. And yes, I should be running ad-block etc to just ignore the critters but I have to turn the darn thing off for so many things I've been doing lately that I've pretty much just come to leave it off ...

Argh, blather blather blather ... techno-babble, techno-babble ...

;D

Thank you very much delpart, that is so nice from you generous man .

Thanks delpart! I have adblock on myself, but I remember how frustrating it was before I found the blocking program! Drove me nuts.
