An idea on hiding google ads

[Matt Timion]

I had a thought regarding Google Ads that I thought I would run past everyone.

Most of the people who click on Google Ads are not regular posters. Usually they are lurkers or occassional posters of the site.

As a result regular posters still see ads and can get rather annoyed by them.

I was thinking of disabling the ads based on one of two criteria:

1) A small donation is made to the site to help pay for operating costs.

OR

2) Any user with a certain number of posts will automatically have their ads disabled.

I would like feedback on this idea, mainly the second one. If you like the second idea, what should the "magic" number be? 200 posts? 300?
