No Ad free FT option at this time

Paid Subscription Expiry Notice

Hello,

Your access to the "Ad Free w/ One Year InsideFlyer.com" is scheduled to expire soon.

Currently, we do not offer a premium service. We are working to put together an ad-free service for FlyerTalkers, and will announce a new package site-wide when this is available.

Yours,
FlyerTalk Forums team
and took effect today.

No sure where to direct this post, so will start here.

1) Disappointed the choice was to re-introduce (even if temporarily) ads for folks who had longtime supported the community with a subscription. Why could not the "ad free" option be continued until a true option was available?

2) This choice will drive more to the "free" option of ad blockers and foreclose future participation in any new program.

3) The announcement seems to be parallel of the customer unfriendly approach some airlines use -- with a lack of forward looking info. When will new info be available? Only a tease of what may come but in the meantime I get ads and someone gets revenue from those ads.

Believe this has been handled poorly.
