Just like in the political world, it is easy to create an entitlement for a select group, but when you take it away...
I'm curious, how many posts did it take to get to the ad free ATS?

2000 if I'm not mistaken.
The other qualifications originally were 500 flags/500 stars..
It's not entitlement, it was a bit of a bonus for the ones who contributed a lot, I don't see it as a bad thing, although I won't really be upset if the privilege goes away either.
I don't cry over spilt milk.

before, I like it though.

I am sorry to sound like a Jackass, but we have been grateful enough to receive a completely new, smoother looking website, and all you care about is the ads?
Remember, the ads are the owners only income from this website.
I'm wondering if us members who have worked (contributed, obviously not the only reason for participating..) to get rid of the ads are going to have to deal with them from now on, or if this is just temporary until things get finalized?

Nopes, as stated in NUMEROUS posts I am loving the new ATS, most people actually think I'm a bit of brown noser the way I encourage ATS most days.
It was a legitimate question about a feature afforded to members who took the time and effort to dedicate quality content as per other members views/opinions of said content.
I don't see how you connected that question as being my ONLY concern...
As for ads being the only avenue of revenue, I am well aware of this.
Furthermore, the level of income generated by the visitors of the website is exponentially larger than the one generated by actual members, considering how many more visitors we have a day than actual members who spend quality time on the site.

Okay, well I take back the part when I said "all you care about".
But the way you said it sounded like no ads is a requirement and not a privilege. We are lucky we don't have to pay for such a great website.

So sue me for caring too much. I guess I shouldn't. Maybe it's time for another break. Might do me some good.reply posted on 6-9-2010 @ 10:06 PM by tothetenthpower

I actually just came back from a sort of break from ATS. A few months or so.
It's actually been quite different since I came back, I have a bit more perspective. I would recommend it to anybody whose having problems "dealing" with ATS as of late.
