Sure, I'm pissed at eBay. But, the site is still of community interest - we
still go there to buy LEGO up for auction.

What I'm really trying to say, is I don't want to see Brickshelf (or any
community site) fall into the commercial flavor of the rest of the internet.
I'd rather see membership fees (and gladly pay them) than see ads. If I have to
see ads, I'd rather only see ads that are direct community interest, and not the
annoying ads common to most of the internet.
Then again, I'll probably just tune my filtering software and go back to my
ad-free bliss. Yahoo's figured out a way around it though :-( If my filtering
out ads on Brickshelf's pages restricts the flow of money into Kevin's pocket
because the ads aren't loading when I view a page, I'll gladly donate money to
Brickshelf, more money than the missed ad exposure would have generated.
I think Kevin's standards rule out Casino On Net from being considered... phew.
