Well, there's ads, and then, there's ADS.
Paying eliminates the ADS, but you should expect ads, from time to time.

ps. Oh! And, if you're not at the highest premium level you should also expect additional ads from time to time, urging you to upgrade to Diamond.
I fancy (probably the wrong word) that Eric - so pleased at his own prowess - merely wants to share his healthier living style with us all in the hope that we do not succumb to illness caused by our mainly sedentary existences.
That is what I fancied... Then I thought about it and realised that the ever resourceful Eric has found another way of generating income !
Good luck to him, I say !! (Sorry have to stop now as I break for exercise, which consists of walking to the back door for a pipe !!)
I thought I was on a chess site albeit run by an Eric autocracy but now I am being messaged with a get fit announcement telling me to exercise more - well we all know that!
However the before picture is of a happy Eric on the beach while the after pictures are of a skinny Eric who looks to me very stressed and not at all happy.
I have paid my premium membership so shouldn't that mean no ads?
