I didn't know Daily Kos had such a thing as 'subscriptions'. I was wandering through the site and spotted the subscription tab on my profile! Looking more closely I found that you can buy a subscription and not see them any more!
There are several subscription levels. $100 gets you a lifetime subscription. I figure I'll be around for a while longer so it's a good deal for me. They've got other much less expensive options though if that's a bit steep for your budget.
It's really nice to see the site without ads again. They annoy me. Particularly that series of ads that always has goofy faces that have nothing to do with the subject of the ad. It's just to grab your attention. I tried to ignore the blasted things but they really did detract from the site for me. Even still, I'm just amazed at the visual silence now that they're gone.
It's like suddenly all these neon signs that were trying to distract me from the site are now dark. I highly recommend spending the money if you can afford it. I'm wondering though, what other cool features I've been missing out on all this time?
