Hi aero1974,

The ads you refer to can be removed but we leave them on the Public Forum for a number of reasons:

1. Feedback tells us that new Members like to browse them;
2. These ads/threads gives examples of the completed Giving and Taking process -- from the Giver's initial post to the final "Item now Collected!" post;
3. Key-words in the ads on the Public Forum automatically pull in the Google ads, which are the sole continuing source of revenue for JumbleTown -- they pay for the web-hosting (just about).

Admin endeavours to keep the top of each forum's listings free of Taken ads -- that's why we have thousands of Taken ads in our (hidden) Archive.

Members can choose the type of ads they wish to view first by clicking on the "Status" option, which is at the top of the "Available/Reserved/Taken" column.

Regards
Chris P
