Lord Ratner Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Did the advertising on these forms just get a whole lot worse for anybody else? It seems like I have to click through five pop ups and banners now just to navigate to the next topic. I'm not sure I can browse the forums much longer like this, but I wanted to make sure it's not just my phone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gearhog Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Same. I use Chrome for iPhone. Ads are blocking much of the screen as I type this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uhhello Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 If you're not running an adblock extension on your browser you are severely missing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 It's as bad as trying to watch anything on YouTube anymore. AdBlock, while a nice feature on its face, still shouldn't be necessary from a privacy standpoint. Who even is "AdBlock"? Because the permissions they need to is read everything you do, and what do they do with that information? Are they running their whole operation as a non-profit? Probably not lol.

DFRESH Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Okay, give it 24 hours. If it's still looking like a free pr0n site by then, try clearing cache.  1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbush Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Also running Adblock Plus, which currently claims it's blocked 646,628 ads on this PC since installation (probably 2013). Highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFRESH Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Bros, I just let google do its thing. I went in and tweaked the settings, so it should stop the "anchor" ads. The goal was to have just one ad in the same spot on every page (top right corner), but somehow the google monster went full auto. Should be fixed within an hour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ratner Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 Is the site making much money off of the ads? Because they've gotten pretty shitty again. Constantly covering up the top banner of the page or sometimes showing up without a clear way to close them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
