Update. Here is some weirdness for you. I upgraded to fibre-optic service a few weeks ago. With my old DSL modem I shut it down or restarted it on a regular basis, thus I was never stuck with a constant IP address. The new modem does not do that as readily (or as easily)...but yesterday I "released" and "refreshed" my IP address...and... The graph is showing new test results, again! I do not know how the two things are connected...but changing my IP address *seems* to have resolved the issue. Maybe this can help you to figure out what happened...because, if it happened to me, it might well happen to more of your users. Weirdness, eh?

I might just make this an option for registered users. Most people aren't registered... if someone really wants to turn the ads off, they can anyway. I actually think it would be cool and totally unique if I just made it an option for my registered members. ... what do you guys think about that? Screw donations... I don't want your money. I'd rather be supported through my advertisers. I don't think offering that would hurt my revenue. Any small loss in revenue would be out weighted by making my users happy. Happy users tell people... most of those people that subsequently visit will see the ads and possibly see something they like. See how I just sold myself on the idea. Make sure you signup for the new beta program. This option will first be made available and announced to beta testers. I don't mind the ads, I tune them out most of the time. But the site does look much cleaner with them off. I'll make it an option to turn them off, as long as your logged in. Just do me a favor, if you like what I'm doing... spread the word. I have very expensive servers and TMN requires A LOT of bandwidth, support of my ads is what pays those bills. If your going to disable that, at least tell people about the site. If you're using the site enough to want to disable the ads... then you must like it. ... I also think that people that want to disable the ads probably wouldn't click them anyway. So let's just save everyone the bandwidth and make it an option. lol. Look for that soon
