And most of all I liked that there are no advertisements =)
I hate to break it to you but if you look under my post you'll see a signature campaign banner for a casino, which is an advertisement. now if you're talking about the forum's ad banner, then yes, the forum itself does not advertise anymore, Theymos discontinued it a while back.
theymos disabled forum's ad banner more than 2 years ago, in September 2022, at the round 353 of forum ads auction.
His announcement on the forum's ad banner suspension. This post is long and I quote a part that says there will be chance for forum ad banner in future.
However, my standards for the type of service I will accept will be stricter than previously, and I will also not accept advertising if I don't think that the proposed price is high enough to make it worth the trouble. Due to these changes, I will probably accept few or no offers to advertise, and the majority of the time there will be no ads.
