@Paul_Gadd

Why do you recommend getting rid of the donations bit. I know each to their own and all that, but i think thats just an insult, sorry.

@Nick

I do not recommend getting rid off the donations bit, only to remove it using ad blocking software (ie the users machine and not the website itself).

Lets see, you go around promoting ways to reduce the effectiveness of banner advertising on amiga.org; therefore, you want to reduce the value of our advertisement system.  

Let's take this a step further, our advertising clients lose intrest because you don't like a particular advertiser.  Advertisers pull away from Amiga.org.  Amiga.org doesn't have enough money to pay for servers, mail-services, etc.  Amiga.org becomes a nice blank white page that says, "This domain for sale," with some free-server pop-up advert to boot.

Don't say, "It's just one advertiser."  Because advertisers all meet with each other at shows, conferences, and other kinds of meetings.  Advertiser-A tells Advertiser-B and C that they were scammed by Amiga.org users, so the other advertisers pull away.  That's how business works.  Now would you please stop trying to kill this website?!!?
