Why are Ads taking up so much space?

Is it me? I was under the impression our board was revamped to save space. Why then do we now have huge advertisements at the top, which I refuse to look at in protest, taking up a huge amount of space? I know, ads make money. Old ladies sharing their lives, friendships and supporting each other do not but I was under the impression that was what this board was for. I know the bottom line is what keeps us going but does it have to be done so blantly? What I am about to say may upset some people and I am truly sorry for that but I have to say it. Members complained about all the prayers offered up in the past. I can assure you I am not an overly religious person but I do believe in the power of prayer. We all come from different backgrounds and must respect these differences. In fact we must embrace these difference because it is what makes us all so special. What I am trying to get at here is prayer caused major dissention on the board but being pushed out by all these ads does not. Prayers have never caused anyone harm, never missled anyone, never caused anyone harm...can advertisements say the same thing? I guess what I am getting at here is people complain about prayer yet nothing is said about letting advertisers push us around and dictate board format. Maybe I am way off base here but for once we need to just sit back and say enough already...this is our space. If you want us to pay for it fine but don't jerk us around.
I will now get down off my soap box. Sorry if I have offeneded anyone It was not my intention to do so. This is just my opinion. Love you all, Bernie

Well I am afaid that Gabby is right no ads no board.iVillage is using the space on our board to stay online for free. Not much we can do about it.
No offense taken here.
