Ad Free Education Sites

This program is no longer available as of August 11, 2009 Dear Educators, It’s with much regret that we’re announcing the end of the “Ad Free for Education Sites” program here at Wetpaint. While the program has been a tremendous success and has been used by educators around the world, it comes at a high cost to Wetpaint. With the company’s resources stretched thin, we can no longer effectively support the program going forward. Anyone that already has a Wetpaint site in the “Ad Free for Education Sites” program or requested entry into the program prior to August 10, 2009 will remain in the ad-free program and their sites will remain ad-free. Wetpaint does offer ad-free options for a monthly subscription; details of that program can be found here. Wetpaint thanks the education community for their use of Wetpaint over the past two years and we look forward to supporting the community again in the near future. Sincerely, The Wetpaint Crew Note: Wetpaint cannot currently permit students under the age of 13 to register on Wetpaint.com, per COPPA	Q & A Q: I already registered my education site to have ads removed, when will the ads be turned off? A: If you have already (prior to August 11th) visited the "Settings" area of your site, clicked on "Upgrades", and clicked the Select button under the "Register as an education site", filled out, and submitted the form, then you don't need to do anything else. Q: Why did you get rid of the program? A: It was rather expensive to administer. Every week Wetpaint would get over 1000 requests from educators for ad free sites. To administer the project, we would have to review every single one of them to make sure they qualified for the program. Q: So now what do we do? A: Wetpaint does offer premium subscriptions which remove advertising from the site. That is an option. Additionally, there are several other collaborative web services that offer educators ad free websites if the premium option is too expensive. Q: If I’m in it but want to start a new one, can I do that? A: No. Sites that are already in the program will remain ad free going forward but new sites will not be admitted. We recommend educators turn over the site from session to session. You can add new users and delete old ones.

Keep the ads - lose the educators

Goodbye Wetpaint! You are absolutely no use to me or anyone else I know in the field of education. Nice try though - lure us in and then try to force our hand to cough up the dough to get rid of these distracting, annoying and irrelevant ads!!
Very, very poor show guys.
Still, it was fun while it lasted. I'm just glad I didn't waste my time developing lots of material for your site.
Bye bye - I will now delete every page of every site I have created and will participate no more.
