Before long, you will start to see some limited advertisements on nin.com in the forums area. This is an experiment to help sustain the development of nin.com technologies into the indefinite future. I know ads suck, but after much debate and thinking it through we're willing to see how it goes and how intrusive it is to the nin.com experience.
My mission is to continue developing nin.com and related mobile apps way past the point we are now and the reality of that is it costs money. Currently we're spending 10-20K / month on bandwidth / R&D outside of any specialized projects (mobile apps) and the possibility exists for the site to become self-sustaining through this process. Which means: more social / media integration and overall cool stuff for you for free moving into the future, for the price of seeing some ads. We'll play this one by ear and see how it goes and I appreciate your understanding of the situation.
