Site Forum

The site gets its revenue from members who pay a monthly fee and from those who don't who are served advertising. Please do not promote anything that is counter to those methods. Thank you.

I'm only asking cuz the pop-ups just started last week.   Never got one the whole last 6 months, why am I getting them now?

That's something that should be reported through the "Contact Us" link (message goes directly to Admin). Admin is the only person who can remedy the ad situation on the site, and he doesn't regularly read the forums.

I have used this site for years and love it. These pop up's every few seconds are making it useless.

I have spoken (well messaged) with ADMIN and he is working on it. One of the ad companies went rogue and he tried to fix it already

I am actively messaging with ADMIN and he said that he is meeting with the ad company later today. Fingers crossed that it fixes this issue. 

MY 2 cents is that it only pops up for me on mobile. I don't get them on computers- I do pay to have the ads removed

I used to have a premium membership for no ads, but home situation changes caused me to no longer be able to justify paying a monthly fee for my hobby.  I realize I can always decide to pay to be ad free again so I should really try to not be negative- but I do have to say the ads over the years have become a deterrent to me visiting this site as often as I might otherwise.  That in itself seems counterproductive.

Often the ads are not appropriate.  I don't believe it has anything to do with individual users as it is often suggested.  This is one of the only sites that has those types of ads.  The other sites that tend to have these types of ads are generally sites that seem to be unprofessional and is not something I would want associated with my site if I was running something like this.  If that was the case you would think it would change based on the devices/browsers/ISPs etc but it does not.  This has always been an issue and is the first and foremost issue I have had with this site.

It used to be only ad images but slowly the video ads began

Now there is the ad bar that pops up on the bottom of the screen every time a page is loaded

I realize the bills need to be paid, and I have no idea how much admin even has control of when it comes to these kinds of ad deals- but it has definitely gotten worse over the years.

I have a feeling I am eventually going to be forced to go premium again if I want to keep using this site as much as I have in the past.  

ADMIN thinks he has solved the problem. If you see any please message me if put it in the forum. He and I have a thread going about this.
