So does that mean that i can still continue bugging the sales@xisto email for some support. LOL.

********
ads never bug me, just no popup in the forum will do. some text ads here from google wont hurt it much.
the thing i hate about the last version is the ads that are too heavy to load.

OH MY GOSH:

did anyone notice that the "your post is being blah blah, click here to go back etc." message after posting was gone
all i can see is a white page which have no contents and no loading screen and after a few second i was redirected.

Wow, I never thought that a Free Hosting Company could have a forum without ads, due to usually it is part of the income. I am glad to hear that other services are running smoothly, Congratulations Now, I really see Quality, due to usually, websites without Ads are Quality sites, so this step is very good in my opinion. Even though, I never mind to see an advertisement of somekind here!

Lol, There were ads on the forum? I really didn't notice. I don't care if you have ads on the forum or not. They don't stand out and I don't get popups from any website (Opera user). It probably looks better now that you don't have ads but that extra imcome must have been nice. Now that you have a new host I guess you really don't care about the 0.5 cent per ad clicked.
Thanks,

Well I personally didn't mind seeing the ads in the forums, and I wouldn't mind keeping them here if it meant that it would help Astahost out.

What about making an option to still display the ads, so that members who would like to help astahost out by having ads displayed, can. (Just an idea, that might end up helping astahost become yet a better host, as I have heard so much about how great astahost is, even though I am not hosted by astahost as of yet)

As for promoting the other service, i'll do that.

Come to think of it, it feels odd. I mean, if there are not ads, then why are we getting hosting. What is the point in all the content we create if that does not help AstaHost. I say, republish all this content elsewhere and earn more 'dough'

One or two ads is okay, like from google. But hey no ads, I can live with that too.

I am very new to these forums, as of last night I had just joined. The fact that the hosting provided did not require ads was a big part of why I decided to give Astahost a shot, and since the forums do not have any ads either, I am very satisfied. I have never been a fan of ads, even the funny or interesting ones. They just drive me crazy and prevent me from enjoying the website that I am on.

As many people have said here already though, small google ads that blend in with the page are not all that bad and if they help support ad-free free hosting, I wouldn't mind them. The large banner ads are what cause all of the problems and distract me and other people from the real content of a website.

Thanks for the removing of the ads though. I was not here to see them but now that I am, its a pleasure not having to deal with them.

I'm happy... that one single popup was starting to annoy me on the index page (even though Firefox blocked it)... it was really bugging me how it would ALWAYS be there... now it's gone!
