If you are not a Charter member and a cheap jerkwad like me that has enjoyed the Sift for years, the least you can do is click those ad banners up there ^ ^ ^ ^.

Let's say we all click like 10 a day, hopefully from a few different pages and different companies.

If a couple hundred people do it, it does make a difference. I know that might mean turning off your adblock or crippled etc/hosts file, but should be easy enough to drop a portable opera directory somewhere to browse from.

You don't have to do anything with the pages, that's what tabs are for, just open them in the background and then when you are done with the sift, close the browser and all the tabs. I recommend a trial period or say a month and admins can report back if they saw any extra ad revenue from it.
