I also don't want to over-reach without making sure the folks across the pond are in agreement, and have been waiting so I can give an all-inclusive answer, but this much I can say anyway. Grandfathered, Lifetime, and Recurring subscriptions will continue to carry the same benefit of absence of advertising on the message pages. I can't yet address other pages or the freebie experience.

BTW, Fact that you can't or won't categorically say, "As we always promised, no ads for Grandfathered, Lifetime and Premium members," is sad at best. Dave is wisely and correctly not speaking for the company and I'm trying to be similarly wise and correct in my communications. Public company and all that. There's a bit of a learning curve involved since we've been "fly by the seat of our pants and decide in 3 seconds what's the right direction" mavericks for so many years, and the ink on this deal is barely dry yet. Well, okay, we're nowhere near that loosey-goosey, but I think you get my point. We're no longer just 3 hard-core workaholics doing our thing and having only each other to account to (along with our communities). I now have bosses. Execs and shareholders.
