Is it acceptable for a forum which people have to pay to be a part of to have advertisements? They do pay to be a part of it, but for an extra revenue stream, would you do it?

Better be the best, most useful forum on the web.

I figured it would be redundant and users are probably gonna resent it, so I've decided not to. Thanks for the advice pgo

Show ads to the users that aren't logged in, (assuming you allow browsing of the forums without logging in and restrict only posting to paying members).

I would be annoyed if there were ads when I was paying to be there. It's gotta be one or the other (which you seem to have realized).
