I'm just saying that other sites can do it for free, so can this one. On top of that, I'm not so much complaining about the ads being there, I'm complaining about being FORCED to listen to them while I'm here!

Yes, the sound would be my biggest complaint with the ads. Oftentimes they play when I'm on a different browser tab, so it's a bit of a hassle to try to track down the culprit. What's worse is frequently there is no mute button on these ads, so if I don't want to listen to them, I have to shut off my speakers.

I do agree about the revenue help the ads give to help support the site, some things I have noticed though. The ads do not seem to effect the use of the site on a windows computer, at best they are just a little anoying when using my android phone. However accessing the site on my Apple iPad is so frustrating I dont even bother.

With the exception of the sound intrusion, the ads aren't much of a problem for me on my windows computer. On my android phone sometimes it can be an issue when these ads take up most of my screen, thereby blocking my video of BN until I can locate the close option.

Perhaps we could have a tiered level of accounts? For instance, a free account means having ads on BN, a standard paid account for x amount of money per year gets you an ad-free BN, while a deluxe account also gets some other perks such as a larger inbox for private messages, a larger avatar or something else?

Thanks for your idea. It's certainly something to think about.

Your welcome.

Depending on the pricing rates, I would be willing to be a paying or deluxe member.

I haven't been able to resolve yet what the harmful programs are supposed to be. It might be the Amazon links causing that message, according to some people anyway, but it's hard to know for sure. Be assured that I'm working on the problem as best I can and am trying to find a solution.

I think one thing that may be causing this site to be flagged is the network it's hosted on (AS20454 (SSASN2)) has been identified as hosting other sites that have distributed malware. I'm not sure how you can fix guilt by association.

Here are my two screen shots:
