Annoying advertising + possible domain?

Could've been worse!

I know this isn't very helpful for Muss, but they seem to have got less frequent for me of late. It comes in waves.

Woah - Advert o'clock! Just got presented with another Cookies Consent thing, and now the ads I see before logging in are all over the shop at all times. These make things borderline unusable on most websites, a bit pissed off.

Aye, I'm getting the same thing & it just splits up big parts of the site making it harder to use.

It may be that our premium package subscription thing has expired - I'll need to double-check.

EDIT: Hopped onto the admin account and I think it was indeed that! Should be sorted now. I should add that if anyone ever wants to chip in towards the renewal of those features down the line, that'd be absolutely appreciated but by no means feel obligated to do so! We're good for another year now anyway.

Ahh I assume that was the case as I already don't see ads now.

How much is that shit, Jay? I don't have any GNamer-related outgoings at all, as my Patreon covers Mash and LLP and I think, insanely, Zero of all people is keeping Gintendo alive.

It's about £55 for 5000 Forumotion Credits (big Wii Shop Channel points vibes) and our renewal is 4500 credits per year. It'd be more than that as it's normally 1200 credits for a domain renewal as well, but we get that for free as our forum apparently has a high level of activity and Forumotion like that, seemingly!

I wouldn't be against a switch online style family membership set up as long as we get enough regulars willing to throw in some cash.

I genuinely thought this was a bit for a while there. Why does a service like this need a load of "credits" bollocks?!??!

I let all the web names expire, so I have no idea who now has likes of GNamer.co.uk etc

I should mention that there's zero obligation to throw in some cash with this - I'm more than happy to keep this place running and I'm sure Balla has said as much as well. Just throw us a few bucks if you want to chip in, but don't feel like you need to!

The only reason I can rationalise it is to avoid foreign currency transfer fees, but aye, no clue really!

We get gnamer.com as part of our forum package, but aye, the other domains might be lost to the ether now.

Nobody, apparently. Can't imagine why such prime online real estate hasn't been snapped up.

Oh blimey - I had no idea that there was money going into this forum. Yeah, I'll also chip in if we're doing a friends-o-pot for this.

Can count me in for contributions too, just let us know when and how.

Forumotion should be paying you an additional Expansion Pack fee to access The Cappuccino Kid Online.

I've never had problems with ads on here, but now they won't stop popping up at the bottom and all over the place.

That's because it's the yearly renewal for our Forumotion package, so ads aren't disabled at present for members. It's usually about 45 euros for a year's renewal or thereabouts.

We'll try and get it sorted soon, so apologies for the ads in the meantime.

That should do it, can somebody confirm?

Aye it looks better now.

Cheers Jas!

Yep looks good now
