The $2, or really $1.50 after the fees are taken from it, seems like a reasonable amount all around, and would be worth about 2,000 - 10,000 page views. Lots of users probably aren't going to view more than 2,000 pages on the site, but lots also do. So it's a middle-ground.It also works on the premise of "if every user bought Supporter, then we'd have no need for ads at all".

GG guys. keep up the good work on making nexus as awesome as ever.

elderlord Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Strange request I know. But even after having premium is it possible to enable ads on the site for myself? I understand strange request but I have premium for the servers, I am more than happy to view ads and support the site.
me3deager Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) Good post on a sensitive topic. The server and internet costs are huge for this service. I work in IT and I still forget how expensive it is to host this stuff. And thanks for the site in general. You basically have "saved" a ton of mods for a ton of games because people know about them through this site. EDIT: I just read elderlord's comment. I agree. Can we opt to turn them on?

gameboytj Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) I have to admit...The reason i use adblock is because the ads are making my browser's performance worse over time to the point where the browser stops responding altogether... :(I want to let the ads play to help the site though but not if it freezes up my firefox...If they are performance friendly i will turn my adblock off.
