What will it take to remove the ads from DU?
Now there are banners at the top and bottom of my pages. I just saw one for FAUX
GIVE US A BREAK!

So... what will it take?

Does DU need money that much?

2. You're a donor, so you can turn them off.
Go into "Options" and "Edit your preferences." Turn them off. :hi:

4. You can go to Options, then Edit your preferences (left frame)
Once in preferences, scroll down to the ads part and click the box to turn them off.

6. It's great when there are Fox ads on DU
It means Fox is helping to support DU. What could be funnier?

But seriously, just turn them off.

7. Since you are a contributor
It's offered as an option in your profile to turn off the ads.

9. The ads are still there in the left column of the "Discuss" page
The paid ads.
I turned off images and that got rid of everyones avatars too
I suppose I won't be able to see it if someone posts a picture
Damn
