That's a hoot. It isn't going to happen. I am amused by those who believe photo.net is suffering because they get a lot of ads! It's ads that bring in the revenue. Membership fees are peanuts in comparison. Photo.net gets lots of play from Canon, Nikon and a range of non-photo advertisers as well. I'm not worried about having to change in a hurry. But if it suits my purposes, I will change. By the way, I create some of those internet ads you hate, although not for photo sites. I just produced a number of banner ads for an automotive equipment site. I like ads. No, I love ads.
