Dear Jan, can you relieve the adverts, there are too many, I do not want to see them, they are not interesting to me at all, maybe others like them I do not. There are enough ads on the TV which I find some of them really stupid, like a bogying spring what has that got to do with Halifax and now it has a bottle opener!! What next!!  Oh and I am getting a message every time I go into the games. It's for the website owner which is you and it relates to the adds. When I go into the games again I will try and write the message down before  it goes away and let you know. Sheila

Try an AdBlocker, Sheila! The site is quite bearable then, although there's still nothing happening. There's much more life on other sites (eg Scooploop).

Jan and Alex have worthy aims starting this site, but this kind of nation-wide enterprise is too large to run with just two people, and there isn't the local advertising revenue to support them.

Yes Alex I agree with Sheila and Peter. I signed up to your site because I believed it was a source of knowledge for Fairlight not to be pestered by even more adverts that I have no interest in. Followed Peters suggestion and bought AdBlocker not yet had the time to evaluate

I am worried about the possible scam of offering a free Iphone worth £800.   I have apparently "won" this on two successive days.   I think it could be dangerous as it asks for Visa Debit card number so it can take £1 for the cost of the phone.   Once it has that detail is there not a perceived danger that it can use the card for other purchases?   I go by the maxim in life "there is nothing for nothing".  Caveat Emptor I would say.

Totaly agree. There can be ads, it is fine, but there are too many of them. They occupy 40% of the screen at times, which makes it impossible to browse the pages. Reducing their amount a little won't hurt, because when new people come around, they see this mess and try to avoid this page. More ads won't bring you money, but more users will.

There are many experienced financial accountants that i've talked to, each and everyone of them were saying that good management and user-friendly attitude brings more money to their companies. Their superiors were always thinking about attracting new clients, not hot to sell more the the existing clients.
