Exclamation Great, APC is one BIG BANNER now

I am sure this will get deleted but It its worth nothing that the Flashy Banners on every page is very distracting when I am trying to educate myself on whats going on in the Airline world

I honestly didn't really notice until you said something. Thanks for making my day!

I was thinking the same thing. Right now as I type I am reading about a great program in Europe where I can pay to fly a real life A320....how cool!

I can be a pilot!!!!

Fight the power!

If it is between seeing a few ads (which you can ignore if you don't want to click them) or paying a fee to access a forum, I'll opt for the ads.

Id rather pay, just wait you will be typing an earth-shattering thought, only to realize a Pop-Up got in your way and you were typing nothing

I didnt see many banners before they Sold-out to whatever company bought them.....

Sorry guys I wish I had more to contribute I am all out of things to complain about, other then

Government Bailouts to The GREEDY Folks on Wall street, and Oil jumping $20.00 a barrel, but lets not talk politics on here, otherwise this thread will get closed

All the ads i'm seeing are relevant to pilots, at least. I visit a lot of forums and this is the only one that was ad free. I guess all good things must come to an end.

I'm sure their bandwidth costs are huge, they've got to cover that cost somehow........
