I realize removing the ads would have a monthly cost. Maybe something could be set up so users can donate money to make the forum ad-free?

I have adblocker, but proboards keeps putting banners at the bottom to try and convince me to remove that.

I'd honestly just disable the adblocker. I use my adblocker everywhere but the ads on proboards really aren't that noticeable or invasive. So enabling them is far less annoying than getting the "can we talk" banner every 5 seconds, lol.

(The ads also just don't load most of the time, so it's not much issue)

Unfortunately, we're not sure of the financial feasibility of removing the ads from the site; instead of a baseline monthly fee, ProBoards offers to remove ads for a set amount of pageviews over a one-month span, and I'm not currently sure what our pageviews currently look like (and are projected to progress into). I'll be looking into it and see how much it would approximately cost if we did, and see how much could be done to mitigate the costs/in what way. I'll keep this thread updated if anything changes.
