Hi!
Is everybody over at the Pro forum? I feel like it’s extremely slow over here at the regular forum nowadays.

I didn't realize there was a "Pro" vs "Regular" forum....?
.. or rather VIP forum.
Which, to be fair, is more than enough. I actually think it would hurt the athmosphere of the forum in general if it's main appeals would be locked behind a pay wall. Especially now that the one time payment options are gone.You are missing just the Buy and Sell forum and not much else. And, you have the plus of all those ads so you have more.

Its very expensive to run a forum like this, the owner needs to make a living. That means lots of advertisements. The Pro membership shuts off advertisements. There is a additional forum area for discussions by pro members and a Buy-Sell area but the big benefit comes in keeping the site going.Ahh. The “Peasant Blockers” seem to be fully operational.

Oh...Im a pro member, but I didn't know or see any special pro member forum only areas...... or rather VIP forum.

If a person choses to stick with the ads, that's fine, they are paying their way through advertising revenue. The Pro membership is nice though.
I would note that the rise in ads across all the various sites I frequent is noticeable. I am not sure if it is a function of increased marketing to those WFH or a function of reduced rates to sites for carrying ads. My guess is the latter as the business model of the internet is to rope everyone in cheap and slowly boil the wallets.Its very expensive to run a forum like this, the owner needs to make a living.

FB is the exemplar for this as they offer less reach per dollar every time one turns around.
