    I for one am perfectly happy for Richmond to subsidize Demonland. :D Personally I find Richmond quite ignorable.

    The algorithm for which ads you get served isn't solely based on browser history. The advertiser might have certain search words that this site being an AFL footy related site match. Or perhaps the tigers are trying to convert non-believers. 

    The best way not to see any ads at all is to support Demonland by taking out a Subscription which removes the ads entirely.

    I agree that it’s wrong on environmental grounds to encourage any Tiger fan who wanders here to buy a membership. When those plastic cards go into the microwave after we give them a whopping on Anzac Eve, then we will surely be responsible for releasing all of those smouldering plastic fumes into the atmosphere?

    Aha! That explains why I only get ads for porn sites.

    I encourage everyone to click on it as many times as possible.  They can pollute our screens for free, but as soon as anyone clicks on it they pay money.  I’m sure we can ensure they make a loss in 2019

    I just subscribed, and I asked Admin how many Demonlanders there were and how many were subscribers. I was surprised by the response:

    "There are over 5,000 registered members of Demonland. About 280 are subscribers. These numbers don't take into account guests who visit the site but have never signed up. More guests are reading the site at any one time than members reading the site."

    It would be nice for the percentage of subscribers to increase to support the running of this site. I mean we all enjoy it, but only about 5% are financially supporting it. With a lifetime membership of only $60, that, for some of the younger ones on here will work out to be about $1 a year. Where else can you get such great entertainment for just $1 a year?

    I encourage everyone to sign up. I got horribly drunk a while back and attempted to buy a life membership, but the payment process glitched and it didn't go through. I couldn't change my mind when i sobered up as that would have made me feel, ..... dirty?

    Anyway, i feel slightly less  bannable with "Life Member" next to my name. Most likely a false sense of security, but i am happy to run with it :)

    If you can afford it, i think it makes sense to add it to your support of MFC. Life membership is a long time for most people. 

    *I expect Demonland to add an extra thousand or so likes to my total for this shameless plug

    Amazed there is so few members, more so sad. This is a great site for fans and regular readers and readers should show some support to Andy and subscribe.

     

    Surely the cost of servicing the Range Rover is not so much that we can’t have more members here...

    Happy to have signed up and to support Andy.   Also happy that when my wife looks over my shoulder at what I'm doing she doesn't see those annoying Dating site ads targeted at old people!

    I have subscribed before.. a couple of times.

    But then get hounded for some profanity which everyone does now...  but the site filter blanks them out. and they continue on without any land comments.

    I've been hounded by the likes of that whiny rhino, for daring to be different to his views...  I've been suspended/banned for daring to resist the ideas that treat women different to men, that they deserve more respect...

    I differ, after being abused and molested by that same gender.  And then get banned.

     

    I have already payed many times, including donating to resurrect Demonology...  when it was offline.

     

    I have subscribed, and without any income... no pension no dole nothing. no income of any sort with the interest rates.

    Living off the bank account, until I run out, of time.

    You were justifiably banned.

    Great site as we all know.

    Please support and every now and then send a donation to keep the wonderful work going.

    I find the match day threads particularly therapeutic.

    One only has to look at the podcast guests to understand the actual not to mention potential reach a site such as this can have.

    Thanks Andy and Nasher and all those who keep the site ticking over.

    PS: I found this site around 2001 or slightly after so it has become part of my MFC life. Most posters are courteous and it's great to get different views. Long may it prosper.

    I think when you consider the time and efforts that go into running a website like this one it makes sense to subscribe or donate. I've been on DL a long time and although I've had on-off periods on here it's always been there and I'm grateful for that.

    The site is run by great people and we are getting more and more brilliant content all the time with things like the podcast which has become a staple for me during the week. 

    Every bit counts, doesn't take much.

    Click on the ads and do your bit to waste their advertising budget.

    I initially read this as "the cost of servicing Range Rover" and thought that the post was something to do with the site's administrators dealing with one of Demonland's posters who seemed to require significant amounts of moderation.

    (People who have been on Demonland for a while will know what I'm talking about.)

    Haha I think $60 barely covers the cost of brake light bulb on a Jaguar

    Join the hunt ?? Who the hell wants to do that ??

    I wish Richmond supporters had aphrodisiac qualities, then they could stop shooting  the real tigers and just 'go', the Tiger supporting ferals.   Win/ Win

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
