Will you also be presenting pop-ups on the home page for lifetime members? I hope not. This was something that the old SI only did a few months ago. I reacted by never going to the home page again.

Have you considered offering for a fair fee an "ad-free" SI for lifetime members. This would mean 1) no pop ups, 2) no ads on home page, 3) no ads in posts made by the member and appearing on non-member screens (perhaps with the caption next to their name - "an Ad-free poster")? How much would you need to charge to offset the revenue you get from these ads?

I never get a popup. AdSubtract is very effective in eliminating them.

On the other hand, I have to turn it off on certain sites - for example, it blocks my credit union's bill-paying service.
