After due consideration, I am happy to announce that I have eliminated advertisements on the Slope of Hope. There are a few reasons behind this:

  2. Since I am a Diamond member, I never saw the ads, but on the rare occasions I would log off and see what non-premium members saw, I found the ads running to be aesthetically displeasing. Simply stated, they made Slope look ugly, which I don’t want.
  3. When you’re on Slope, I want you focused on Slope, not an ointment.
