Also, if the ads start slowing down page loadings and whatnot, I'm out. I avoid several websites because of how choppy the ads make them, and I'm sure I'm not alone with that. Also, I see this changed quickly. I thought the site didn't get enough eyeballs to make ads worth it? "Will NA get monetized like crazy? Nope. Seriously everyone - the site doesn't get enough eyeballs to make enough money to counteract the outpour of disgust from the community that would likely result. If ads do ever get added, it will be minimal and pertain to collecting."

So basically he did exactly what he said he was going to do? Looks like you caught him red handed.
That update was on may 28th. His statement started with the site doesn't get enough traffic to make it worth it, then he said if ads ever do get implemented, implying that that is very very unlikely and would be far down the road if it ever happened, yet within less than a month we're getting ads.
How should the site make money then, since the patreon was cancelled and all the users are using it for free? I would love to hear your ideas, maybe we can make the ads go away.
that's not "yukfou"'s job. I mean, the dude can't even spell fuck you correctly and you want him to step into revenue strategy?
also, that's not any of our jobs. that's the job of the new guy who ostensibly purchased a site for information that's openly available to any user, but really saw 33k users (which is also wrong- we're really a couple of hundred active) as an easy base to boost hits on a memorabilia auction site.
But this change is going to happen and users are going to have a hard time rectifying what they think/want NA to be versus what it is. hell, it's changed from what it was 2014, or what it was in 2008, and we reserve the right to shake our fist at the cloud and then really dig into the Cobra Triangle discussion. I'm going to play Cobra Triangle.
