glastonred Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Just had a quick look at the Boro forum (they seem to be fearing a thrashing!). Anyway, I nearly always check out the forums before a game,and I must say I am so pleased ours doesn't have any adverts popping up every few seconds! Long may it be so....

Barkhamred Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Quite agree, didn’t like the Boro one, the ads were most annoying. Surprised no one else has commented before now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Unlimited likes etc too- £5 per year, no ads, a great platform form debate about the club but INDEPENDENT OF the club, absolute bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to have a read of others forums (Not the Prem teams ) and OTIB is the best I’ve encountered by a mile for the way it’s run , content , humour , interesting posters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Actually, it wouldn't bother me much if we did have the odd ad on this forum, so long as there were not too many of them and it helped to pay to run and perhaps improve the site/forum/bandwidth etc. I've rather got used to them on other forums, though some do seem to have too many.

Yes - you follow the link then it gives you an option to pay by credit card instead of using a paypal account. At least that was the case last year.

Yes but then it asks you to create a PayPal account & tick the boxes for agreeing to their terms, it won’t allow to not tick the box or to not register for a PayPal account.

I’d hate it, quite happy to lob in a fiver a year for it. Enough bloody ads everywhere, this seems to be the only place on the internet without them, just cough up a fiver if you can afford it. @TomF maybe add an option for an extra donation when you renew. I have just renewed as I had my reminder. Add an extra £5, £10, £20 option. I’ve renewed on payday at 11 o’clock on a Friday night, you might have done well! At least that way we can subsidise those that can’t/are too tight to keep this site ad free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blagdon red Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 You can buy an OTIB Supporter subscription via the 'Subscription' tab at the top of the page. If you don't want to use PayPal and/or would like to make an additional donation, you can use this link: Go Purple and/or Donate to OTIB Running Costs to Keep the Forum Ad-Free Note: paying for OTIB Supporter this way will mean a slight wait until you 'turn purple' and your subscription won't automatically renew / prompt you to renew, as with the PayPal option, which is directly integrated into the OTIB operating system.
