If I put an add on the root page, not on boards or threads anywhere that would be annoying, would people click on it and support the site?

If people were willing to show any appreciation that way it should easily be able to finance the cost of running the site.

What do people think?

-----

I spotted this in UP and wanted to bring it to the attention of people here. I realize we are all very anti-ad, but since this is a request from TC and not just being thrust upon us, and it would help with his financial burden of running the site, I figured the vast majority of us would sympathize.

I'm afraid it wouldn't work here as I run multiple layers of add-blocking systems...which is how I've managed to keep my navigation of the old Utopia site so clean & workable.
