The perks of a membership are nice and everything, but I feel like a lot of people (myself included) just sign up for one to support the folks here and encourage them to keep putting out great free stuff.  Having ads turned back on would allow people to support them even further, right?  RIGHT?  Seriously though, can this be done and I just can't figure it out, or is some one gonna have to start a revolution up in this mother?

You're a silver member. Only gold members have the ads taken away.

...then where do they hide them?  I only see stuff for other whiskey media sites.

That's how rare they are? Either that or you have some kind of ad blocking software installed.

Hmm.  Well then I'd like to amend my first suggestion and instead propose that there be an option for more advertising.  It wouldn't bother me and It'd be more dollars for durgers at Whiskey Media.

are you from outside the US? I don't think overseas users (maybe even canadian users, I dunno) get ads.

I just realised that I've never seen an ad on here, and I've had adblocker turned off :S 
Does it vary by the user's location?

@GS_Dan:  Unless they changed it, they only show ads to the yanks. The rest of us don't get them.

...first time someone wanted ads.  The main reason I paid for mine was for the mobile and no-more ads.  :\

I think the ad level is fine. It's enough that the site seems like they're making money, but not so much that it gets in the way.

I know they said silver members will still get ads, but I haven't seen one yet and I've been a silver member since day 1. I've seen them when I've logged out, but never when I've been logged in.

I log out I see ads. 
 
I log on I don't see ads. 
 
The same should be the case for you.

I have also never seen an ad even though I'm a silver member. I would also like to add that now that I have an Android OS phone, I will keep paying for my subscription. Assholes on this site make my money worth it. lol.

@crusader8463: Huh. Would be interesting to see the number of visits from different territories and see how much advertising potential is being wasted...
