Re: [tdf-discuss] Re: user forums ?

Hi,

maybe I put it the wrong way. Of course, there are always services that are inly available with 
ads, then we sometimes have no choice. However, when thinking about eithe modifying existing 
services that have ads, to fit our needs, like for a forum, or to setup our own without ads, I have 
a very strong preference for thelatter one.

Or, otherwise said, I would only accept ads when ther is no other choice, it ks always the last 
choice for me.

That,of course,is only my personal opinion and not binding. :-)
