Oh, I definitely blame them. Those adds probably caused a spike in ad-blocker use.

Which sort of raises the question, how much revenue do those ads generate? Does the $7.50 include the ads?
I'm going to speculate that site sloweness has been an issue lately, and if you can't get to ENWorld half the time, well, out of sight, out of mind. There is of course the economy.
As far as ENWorld PDF sales go... Some people have suggested that 4e's DDI and other features have changed the game, and some of the old publishing strategies may not be ideal for the current product. If it can't be added to the character builder, for instance, it's relatively less useful than WotC supplements. On the Pathfinder front, I think the lull between the Pathfinder rules and the Bestiary has caused a lull, and between Pathfinder and 3PP publishers hitting the ground is another. The lull could conceivably affect both sales and advertising.

Hey, Morrus? No rush--I realize this isn't your highest priority right now--but I was just wondering if there's an ETA on when supporters might be able to turn these off.

I'm trying! Basically, I'm looking at PHP web tutorials and trying to figure it out.
If I can't figure it out in a few days, I'll just switch it off.

I can understand, but seriously, having an Evony ad appear in the middle of a page is not awesome. It's like visiting Yuku. I plan on becoming a supporter real soon, but for the sake of mercy, can we make those go away? Think of the children.

It might not be awesome, but not having ENW here would be... even more not awesome.
I don't like them either, but I don't mind skipping over them in the fraction of a second that takes, knowing that it's one of those few things that can be done to keep things going.
Keep it up Morrus... if you have to add a "Powered by EVONY" to the logo and change the 'world' dice to cleavage in order to keep things going here, lemme know - I'll add it in - whatever it takes.

But must it be destroyed in order to be saved? Seriously, enworld.yuku.com would probably be cheaper to run.

Our definitions of destroyed vary I suppose... I think... "tainted" might be more accurate, hehe - I'll take a "tainted" ENW over a "no" ENW... there we go.
Here here. I'm pretty sure I'd lose it if Enworld went down. So much crap going on here at the moment, ENworld is my primary escape. If Evony being every other pixel will keep it around, I'd likely try to suffer through it.

I'd rather have EN World with more ads than no EN World at all, but I just want to be able to turn off the adds since they freeze or crash my web browser sometimes, and I can't afford a new computer+OS just to get around that. I was able to afford a Community Supporter account this year, and bought it half for the sake of just turning off the ads that mess up my web browser, but my other reason for buying the CS account was to support EN World.
