Obviously most of you have never been to other fishing forums, the site is the most ad free site around for the traffic we get, Id be willing to bet the hosting and maintenance is more than 30 a month, first light has over head and wants to make a profit just like any other business owner.
The changes dont bother me .. if you have your monitor display settings at 800X600 or less I could see it being a problem mine is set at 1280x1024 and It all fits on the screen just fine no scrolling etc .. 90% of all sites on the net are best viewed at 1024x768 or larger.
Adjust your display settings and you will be fine, this is the most add free forum a I go to check out bassholes, or ultimatebass they all have tons more adds than we do. And aint no one complaining over there.
Change is inevitable, its part of growth no growth no CFF .. and personally Id rather have more adds and keep CFF than to loose the best forum around.
