That's because the site is about ad revenue and money, not about photography.

Hey...it'd be great if I could do photography without money but they ain't given me camera bodies and lenses for free. So I sell photos. It's still about the photography.

As could I, but this site is the most advertised and whored out of any I go to.

True. I'll admit I'm getting pretty sick of some of the ads that rotate around the forum...but it doesn't cost me anything to learn a helluva lot. A fair trade? For me...yep.

If you guys find a planet where hosting and development and peoples time etc is free - by all means, please get in touch.

If you have a specific issue with the site speed (Which I currently do, too) then please submit it to one of the Mods or directly to me...

If you don't like that advertising, try FF with ad blocker?... Or, of course I guess we could remove all the ads and have people pay for an annual subscription? no? didn't think so...

Works great for me. I didn't even know the site had ads until other people were complaining about speed and margin issues.
