Given I pay to utilise this service I object to having advertising banners and video wasting my bandwidth when using it.

I'm ok with Genesreunited generating advertising dollars from non members but when I'm logged in on a paid subscription I really do not see it nescessary to have flashing advertisements in my face.

If you think likewise email Genesreunited and tell them no advertising to subscribed members!

Ah but without the advertising would they use the excuse that the loss of revenue meant they needed to increase the subscription fees

If you are prepared to pay two or three times the subscription, then ok, go ahead and campaign.

Alternatively do something to stop the adverts I use Firefox and Adblock Plus, but there are other options too. I see Candyman has mentioned something.
