In my opinion if you don't like the service/benefit ratio - then stop using the site completely. You can view ads anywhere. Visit the online retailers by going right to their site. So delete your BGG account and don't use any of it's resources anymore.
If you don't like this freely available, massive, community built with no financial compensation, platform for OoP game information and launch pad for new ventures, smart-phone/tablet/computer accessible, creative gaming resource - bow out. (By the way - take the challenge, I did it myself. I stayed off the site for quite awhile to see if I really made use of it. It didn't take long for me to run into the issue of not being able to find the rule answers and variant info Anywhere else. So I'm not talk from a point of ignorance here. I took a spoonful of my own medicine.) On Wednesday, January 9, 2013 10:53:40 AM UTC-6, Travis Sonsalla wrote: > > Agreed.
