To all members and fellow Gerry lovers:
You may notice there are now advertisements on the forum. I have done my best to make it so that your experience in this space is as pleasant as possible. You know how it's been here... very few rules, just a great place for everyone to laugh and exchange Gerry stories, pictures, and ideas.
However, as the forum has become increasingly active, I have made the tough decision to let the board pay for itself without ever having to ask my friends and members to contribute or pay a fee to participate here.
The best method I have come up with is to allow advertising on the site. Daisy, Canadia, and I have absorbed the expense on our own since the site began, but we are concerned about rising prices and fear that bandwidth may become an issue.
As this is all new to me I still have a lot to learn, but my main goal is to only have adds that will interest all our members and fellow Gerry fans. In the mean time please feel free to visit one of our sponsors if you see an add that you find interesting.
Sincerely yours,
Dianne
PS, I hate the singles adds and I will do my best to try to get rid of them.
Remember the adds have nothing to do with proboards.

A very large thanks to you all, Dianne, Daisy and Canadia for bringing this wonderful site to us for all this time and all you Mods who keep things going even during the quietness of closed sets and secret gf's. Whatever needs to be done to keep things going, I wholeheartedly support including donations if the ads don't cover enough.

Well I got rid of the ads that are offensive or irritating and picked some that will appeal to our members tastes. If you see something that interests you feel free to take a closer look.

If you see something that interests you feel free to take a closer look. i have to laugh....two ads currently are for crohns disease and then plastic surgery in my hometown of saratoga springs. Eeks although i did take a gander at the music industry song writers ad (just poking around don't ya know....)
