[NSC] Become an NSC Supporter. If you want. It's entirely optional. No-one has to.

[Bozza]

is there an option to not have the “NSC licker” bit?

I'm looking at options.

 

[LamieRobertson]

I'm looking at options.

Thank you

 

[Bob!]

Any movement on the 'buy me a coffee ' option?

NSC has become practically unusable tonight if I sign out - I’ve never seen so many ads or pop ups - have I downloaded some malware on to my ipad (which I thought was practically impossible) or is this normal?

 

[nickjhs]

Would a subscriber receive a refund if they were banned ?

Yes, but then that refund would be offset by the fine they incurred for being a dickhead.

 

[nickjhs]

Will travel be included…?

Was thinking about that, mind you could be worth it I haven't had a decent beer in years.

@Bozza how are the subs going, hopefully, you are at least covering costs now?

Thanks for asking.

Errm, slowly - I'll make sure I take a look this week.

edit: I just went to a look before I submitted this post and it looks like I set up a page some time back, but never used it, which is quite embarrassing on several levels!

It's this, apparently...

Darren from North Stand Chat is looking after the internet's most funnest online community thingummy.

If you enjoy NSC and would like to buy me a refreshing adult beverage (or tea, as I can't drink right now) I'd be very grateful...

Yeah, that's really shit.

Firstly, guests will always have more ads, and I make no apology for that. There should even be a banner at the top of the page that says if you register most of them go away, which they do.

But I'd been trialling some sort of Google "auto ads" thing, but hadn't turned off the existing ads and it looks like it's gone loopy. I'll look at it today!

The take-up has been amazing and very humbling, and is a great help.

Thanks so much for being part of that.

Done Sir.

Thank you

 

[Bozza]

Done Sir.

It seems to have worked at my end - an email has just arrived

Thank you!

I didn’t think it was the site @Bozza - there was never this many ads even as a guest (ssh I thought I may have downloaded something from a dodgy stream when I was watching AEK) that was why I was asking if anyone thought I downloaded any malware. I had cleared cookies, history etc and it was still awful. However, when I turned off my ipad and then restarted it, it cleared and went back to normal so maybe was a some sort of malware or it just coincided with something you did to resolve it. It is fine now, so thank you.

I'm just bringing this back from Community Announcements for a short time, as someone has just contacted me to say they had no idea this was a thing.

Yes, this is a thing.

As per the opening post, no-one has to do this, and people have a lot of important things to spend their hard-earned money on. You may also think I'm a scrounging chancer, looking to part people with their money to keep me well-stocked in cider and running shoes. All of these things are OK.

But if you love NSC being here, if it brings you value and if you want to help directly support it you can do so by GOING HERE.

And to those who already have or are - thank you very much - ad rates are terrible at the beginning of the year and your support has made a real difference.

Can I have a proportionate refund for the number of threads I have on ignore ?

Sorry Bozza I missed this before and happy to pay something as come on here everyday

Can I just check - im not bothered by ads or changing posts etc, if I go for the £5 a month option (before I clicked the link I thought £5 would be fair!) I assume this £5 comes to you and doesn’t have anything to do with ads etc?

Yes. Ish.

Paypal take 45p from that £5 for processing the payment, and some VAT then goes off to HMRC, But other than those unavoidable deductions, the money goes straight to NSC.

Are we talking somewhere north of 90%?

 

[dazzer6666]

Don’t have a percentage……

 

[jcdenton08]

Going ad-free is well worth the cost of a pint (or Starbucks coffee!!) per month, and helps NSC which I’ve had more than my money’s worth from over the years in support, advice and entertainment.

It’s a no-brainer to me if funds allow.

 

[FatSuperman]

I did not know about this, so when I get home tonight I, will be subscribing so I can support the site and our glorious leader.

Love you all*

*except that individual I have on ignore
