Sure are ugly, but i can generally ignore em.

What does annoy me though are bloody audio/video ads where i have to search around to mute or pause some bullshit "how to cut a prickly pear fruit" video. That kind of thing tends to stop me using a certain site.

It stinks of desperation. However based on previous attempts at ad revenue, it doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Anyone remember when the admin tried to implement that thing saying that anyone who didn't sign up and agree to have their info sold to a datamining advertising company would have their account closed? :D Me thinks the site owner isn't entirely intelligent when it comes to trying to bring in revenue without pissing off it's, well, customers.

I wouldn't normally mind them ,after all we use this site free ,The point is they have placed them in the worst place , right in the line of fire.
Ad blocker plus seems to be only for google chrome ? I use just plain old google , any ideas ?

I have no desire to use adblocker thanks. I would personally like to support this site and keep it running.

And getting into the 21st century can be said to go for the site as well as the user.

Personally i think the problem should be raised so that the site owner runs his site in even a semi-professional manner, not just installing an adblocker and sweeping the issue under the rug.

Also worth bearing in mind that the more people who block the ads, the lower the revenue for the site, and the more desperate they will become in their choice of adverts. I find it rather amusing that as a moderator you are encouraging people to hurt this sites ad revenue.

Look both pop ups threads have been put into make your requests, by me (oh look being responsible, filing threads where they need to be)
secondly,I have made a thread in staff section alerting their attention to user complaints about this
thridly PR and ROLLIE will review both threads take into consideration of users complaints, and will fix accordingly or come up with a solution
and fourth: I give my own temp solution which is to install ad blocker, if you do not wish to do so you can patiently wait until PR or ROllie make an appearance in this thread.


so yes I am being nice and responsible youre being a pain in the butt and rude as usual. I get it you dont wanna install ad blocker point made no need to beat the dead horse about it
