I’d be delighted to offer $100 to the insult Nick man fund

I’m going to hand these insult donations out instead of Christmas presents for my co-workers, George Costanza style.

Is there a GH account in which i can donate money in order to facilitate my insulting of Nickman?

I believe the username for that account is "Billy Walker"

Nah, me and Billy are tight now. We bros

I never did understand the reasoning, but I was mildly insulted

We didn’t want your millions corrupting the independent views of the site Gina Reinhardt style.

Next you’ll be asking Greeneyed to change your avatar picture.

Where do you think I got my name from?

I think we have worked out how to switch off the overlay, pop up ads. So hopefully, they are now less intrusive for users. Any further feedback welcomed.

Let's pass the bucket. I'd gladly chip in to not see ads.

I'd be concerned about any parents that name their son The.

Edit: think further I wish my parents did that.

No. I think it was very efficient.

I wish my parents named me Rasputin.

I’m happy with my name of reptar.

The ads need to go. Start a fund for donations to cover costs.

Part of me doubts that's your real name.

Mother of god, my sides.

“A donation has been made in your name to the ‘Insult Nickman Fund’. Money for insults”

No offence GE, but this whole advertising thing is a bit....... out there.....

I'd happily donate to get rid of them.

Just because I want to be honest about the whole thing - The ads were getting so annoying I had to remove the GH from the ad blocker whitelist I usually have it on.

I am more than happy to donate some cash, maybe via Patreon (so a few dollars a month so it's on an-going thing), etc. I just don't want to have to scroll twice as far per post to read. It's even worse on mobile where the ads move buttons around just before you go to press them, the page keeps shifting and resizing around, pressing the post button doesn't work 50% of the time. All those problems gone now I've put the ad blocker back on.

Sorry, about that. We have cut anchor ads (pop ups at the bottom and top) and vignettes (ads which block the screen entirely until you close or click). It probably costs the revenue by half, but we were hoping it was a reasonable balance. Thanks for the donation offer, but it’s probably something we’d prefer to avoid administering. The existing workload is getting pretty high.
