Many forums I'm on offer a way to pay for a subscription to be able to view the forum without the ads... Is this a possibility? The ads, especially on the mobile site are annoying at least, and intrusive at worst. On the mobile site, ill be half way through a thread reading, then a new video loads and it takes me all the way back to the top. It is infuriating... There is a lot of valuable info here from the members, but the ads make it difficult to comfortably and easily browse.
Is there a paid option, or can their be a paid option to not see all the ads?

The site still gets the revenue to operate, upgrade, grow, etc and it offers a convenience option to the members who value the option.

This. I get less ads on here than any other website. Definitely not intrusive at all. I do use Duck, Duck Go which has a built in popup blocker.

Not looking to "bribe you" at all.... I have been the admin of other forums, and we have done similar things. I don't know the numbers behind the forum, but it shouldn't be too difficult to determine how much ad revenue each member is worth (on an average) and charge a similar amount for annual membership that essentially sterilizes the AdSense scripts etc.
