Erik,
Thanks for the reply. A couple things:
1) I've got a birthday coming up and I'm asking for a membership for a gift. Yea me! As well, congrats to you for having good customer service and replying to me. The "imagine you had a site" analogy made good sense.
2) You do have a great site and I appreciate the services you offer. For those, playing for free, enjoy it for what you're paying.
3) I'll, non-whiningly add, that it would help your cause to not put the ads over the entire game board after the game is finished. Several have taken the time to voice that frustration. It would go a long way to move them slightly. That shouldn't be too large an expense or inconvenience. Who knows? It could possibly convert a few more.
Again, thanks for your time.
Kevin
OK, I agree -- would be kinda nice not to have the ad plunked onto the middle of the board but beside the board. Let's be thankful these are not (yet) audio ads, too.
