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. :-)

Hi,

ads, independent to what they advertise for, are basically a no go
for me.

right, well I have no doubt of the sincerity behind that comment, but
it
does get a bit dicey in practice IMO.

For instance very few had a problem with pointing directly to the
official Document Foundation and LibreOffice pages on Facebook - ads.

Document Foundation and LibreOffice twitter accounts - ads.

TDF/Libo G+ pages - no ads, yet.

Alright, so a simple aversion to on-line ads is not the only
determining
factor, exceptions are made all the time.

This is not a way to argue in favor of treating LibreOfficeForum.org or
lo-portal.de/forum as 'official' sites, but I would like to again
suggest that it, alone, is not a reason to in effect shun them either.

IIRC Micheal Meeks, in one of his presentations, suggested a goal of
200
Million users for the LibreOffice suite - I think that is a laudable
goal, and also believe that it will not be attained without this wealth
of extended, external, activity. 

Which of course if not exactly on-topic and I will get directly back to
topic in reply to an earlier email but for this point - I hope we can
find some useful way to incorporate all the energy coming from these
auxiliary effots - it's not easy I know but I think it will be well
worth the effort.

Now - off to write the on-topic email,
