No problem yet on iPad.

Didn't' work. Cleared cookies and still got the banner after about 5 seconds.

Here's Mellinger responding to someone who was bitching about it on Twitter.

@Jwoody87 @KCStar there's a lot of money and effort put into the product. Should be OK to charge a small fee for that.

Use addblock or NoScript maybe? I didn't have any problems just a second ago.

Might be some info in this thread that will help you. :shrug:

In other news :

The KC Star website no longer has any traffic.

You gotta pay to play.

How much is it?

I did a Google search, came up with this post, followed the advice and it worked. I use Firefox as my browser, and when I switched it to private browsing I was able to access the articles without the banner blocking me.

BYPASS PAYWALL
Just use the private browsing function of your browser. It bypasses the paywall. LOL."

I think it makes sense. Why should they give it for free? Now, they would have to upgrade the product quite a bit to win my subscription, but if even a small portion of their readers sign up, it's almost certainly worth more than just click-through ads.

One of the biggest stories in KC sports, in at least a decade is developing in Philly the past few days with Andy Reid and the KC Star has no one on the ground there covering it.

Enough said.

ROFL. :clap:

Me too. At at rate of $0, I think I can swing that.

I was upset about the Star too. I look at papers from every place I have lived-all of them are requiring pay now. Who the heck can afford that?

True-papers are dying. But it will come to the point that we won't be able to get any info for free.

I think we said the same thing about TV 20 or more years ago. Now what do we pay for TV.

This world stinks.

The KC Star employs people who depend on the newspaper making money to pay them.

Nobody is entitled to free information.

I get if you think it's a bad business model. But people who bitch about them trying to make money need to just ****ing stop.

:spock:

click on a few NY Times articles.

Lemme know what happens the 15th or 20th time. And no, clicking through from google links don't count, just browse the web site.
