yeap.... as advertiseed, I am not a paying member (yet) but I've read the

ad-free
Sort:
Are you referring to the banner they have up for today for WholeSaleChess.com?
Yeah, I guess technically that is an ad but at least it's not a big flashy one/ a pop-up. The team's just spreading the word on this great deal (I actually just bought it 3 hours ago) to 1. help us out in being aware of the deal if we're so interested and 2. help out their chess-site brethren with some advertising. Win-win?
Either way, if it bothers you that you have one ad within your field of vision, while you pay your hard-earned money not to have it... then put a smile on and wait for it to be gone in another 21 hours. =D
Of course you're right, i'm a bit fussy about ads. 
Great Deal? Maybe. At least 39:90USD for shipping 
I've already taken care of your whining over on your thread, farbror.
I order on average 2-3 books per month from the US and I am aware of the fact that shipping is costly. A total of 39:90USD is about three times as much as I had expected.

if you hover over the NO ADS" on the membership page it says: Premium Members will not see any external ads on Chess.com (other than the main homepage) and will see very few internal ads (announcing new products and services).
Isn't the site supposed to be adfree for paying members?
