I would not. I would pay a nominal fee for a truly ad free Daniweb. That would mean no IntelliTXT corrupting my posts, no blank spaces where ads would be (so I'd have a real Quick Reply box back), etc.
That is totally unrealistic, however. Not enough people would pay enough money to equal or exceed ad revenue. Dani would have to maintain two sites, in essence. Not going to happen.
So we each have a choice. I like Dani, I like Davey's blogs. I'm curious how the site will develop, so give feedback. But I can't/won't moderate again, nor participate in any of the development forums, because clarity of expression and the nature of peer-to-peer community assistance is compromised by IntelliTXT. I won't have words put in my mouth when I'm trying to help someone. That's my choice, others feel differently.
My point is: I doubt things will change in regard to the types and amount of advertising here. Speak your piece, but then realize it won't change, and decide if you can live with that or not.
P.S. Your typing is improving, jbennet, but sentences end with periods. Also look into "apostrophes".

Keep trying! In any case, I'm sure many of us appreciate the effort.

Yes, I have that disabled also. I don't like intellitext but I can sort of grimace and bear it. But since dani gives the option to turn it off I don't have to grimace.

Why should you be "trying hard"? Don't they teach you how to write proper English where you're from? Don't you have to pass English courses to move on in school? Or is it only in the States they actually teach English?
