Alert: WILLIAMS: CF launches Patreon page, please read

Was I the only one hoping CW had inked a big time sponsor and he just needed to work on his spelling?

I really, really hate doing this but feel like I have explained things pretty well. Check it out and as always, your feedback is welcome. Also note that an ad-free aspect for the site will be available for purchase later this summer.

I hate giving away my credit card info and also don't have Facebook, but would be all over one-time PayPal donations. Would you consider setting up a PayPal option?

Hopefully you guys can find a way to better monetize the mobile site as well without it being too intrusive. I wouldn't mind seeing ads that are put in between posts like you see with other sites.

I think you also may get too hung up on the vocal minority when it comes to annoyances with ads. People are always going to hate seeing ads, but are they so bad that it stops your viewing habits, probably not. Hate to see revenue go down the drain if it doesn't effect viewing habits.

I absolutely don't mind ads but this past year it has become intrusive into the experience across all sites but especially here. When I have to put in effort to use a site it does hurt my habits.

I don't like ads. I really like the content here. If I install an adblocker, it's a one time thing that solves the frustration and doesn't change my viewing habits. I suspect that's how most people avoid ads rather than finding another source or sources.

Agreed. Everything has ads now. A 30 second ad at the beginning/end of a 15-30 minute podcast hardly seems like a big deal.

I can't see that pushing that many listeners away.

A very nice write up CW. I think you will find that most fanatics will be more than willing to help out to keep this site as awesome as it is. Love being able to come share thoughts with my fellow cyclones!
