The simple answer is no
Why? Because:
1. I was already hosting another Network54 forum. I became a Network54 premier member a year ago when I started that forum,so no ads would appear on it. As long as I am a Premier member our forum will be free and have no ads.
2. My Premier membership allows for:
"a maximum of 100,000 page views per month for a commitment period of 1 months."
We are not close yet to that limit. If we get over that limit I will re-evaluate the situation.
3.Bottom line: I'm doing fine with the expense of hosting this forum;and, I thank you all for the offers to help!
