- Jack, They gotta pay to keep the lights on somehow. If it wasn't for adds, the would be no incentive to provide anything for the members who only maintain a basic membership. If GC.com thinks they can generate more add revenue, then that's the price you pay to have a free membership. I'm suprised that they haven't done it sooner. There is a price for a free membership and that's the adds that they "hope" you'll click on. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jack Anderson <pandyandy3@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [GeoStL] Ads on GC.com Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2007 10:47:22 -0700 (PDT) >If you don't log on the GC.com you are now subjected to >"Ads by Google" right in among the cache listing pages.
