Ok, it has to be said

[Boatguy]

these ads are getting beyond stupid.

I tried to respond to a thread recently and the ad was so bad that I didn’t even have a way to X out of it.

The only option was to click through to some stupid mattress website.

Here is a screenshot.

Greed!

if you are going to restrict images and be really cheap about that, you really should not be having ads like this that are so terrible that they prevent the users from even posting a response.

Who is running this forum exactly?

have you ever been on a different forum on the Internet? To see what they are like?

I’m damn frustrated. I wanted to make a response to somebody’s post. In fact it was to the single track riding in Galloway New Jersey. It was a really cool video. But I couldn’t even respond because the ad had no X to close it!

If you are going to have ads that are this intrusive, that PREVENT PEOPLE FROM POSTING, you really ought to update the functionality of the forum so that it works like other forums. Who don’t even have ads this big and profitable, yet allow images to be posted.

Very frustrated

and here’s a picture of the ad. Linked out to another site because you don’t allow images that are larger than a postage stamp that are the size of images in the 1990s on computers.

And at the same time, you sure don’t seem to have any limit on the size of ads. Just on the pictures we can attach to posts. .

It's all Cheesy's fault. He's the new guy.

Yeah, I've noticed that it has gotten worse in the pass few weeks. I'll ask the Admin about it.

I use AdGuard to stop pop-ups. I never see Ads. Even on YouTube (occasional hiccups). They have a free trial to test it out. Worth every penny.

Ha ha ha.

OK. I have calmed down. But that was really frustrating.

The points are pretty valid however.

Thanks for checking with the admin. I feel like they should probably look at other forms online to see how things work typically. This one’s not quite working right

Agreed, the ads have gotten way out of hand lately... evry visit has a full page after your first click, and at least 4 more per page in the site...

[cheesy]

I gotta play dumb here because I don’t see the ads. Come to think of it, in all the years I’ve been on here, I’ve never seen any.

[Zapkin]

this is why god made adblock plus.

[Boatguy]

question. Doesn't ad block software take away the revenue from the site that you are visiting? Because they don’t get credit for the ad display?

I don’t mind that there are ads. But what I screenshotted it is garbage.

there are limits. Limits to where the user will just stop using the site.

This is the annoyance, come to the forum via saved new posts link, click on a thread, and instead of the thread you get this....

Agreed, the ads are very annoying!

[TominMO]

I never see ads either. I use the Brave web browser, which has ad blocking built in.

[Texas Pete]

What are ads?


https://pi-hole.net/


$5 Raspberry Pi, old laptop Ethernet USB adapter, old phone USB charger as power supply. Internet Router sends out Pi IP address as every device in the house's DNS server through DCHP. Solved.





And that's just a 24 hour window of time. That's how bad it's become on the internet.

I think the ads should at least be for relevant products, like Thread Locker
