Yeah I noticed that this morning. I thought it was only on
my machine for some reason.
Actually I see 2 different Google Ads... one at the top and
one at the bottom of every page.:confused:

The invasion has begun...>:)
Happened last night, around midnight or a little after. A New years resolution I made in hopes to stop the bleeding. Subscription model dropped the point where it wasn't neutral a couple months ago.Quote:

I'm sorry if this upsets anyone. Hopefully it will be a temporary thing.
Also, The ads and the method of placement were chosen to be completely blockable on all platforms.
Want the "Vanilla" PL experience? Install uBlock Origin for your browser of choice. The original "uBlock" was hijacked and is seriously dated. Origin by gorhill is the good one.
Also: http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/zero/ will take care of 99% of the ads elsewhere online and lessen the computational burden of uBlock Origin.
Android: unrooted, DNS66 will do it. rooted: AdAway. Rooted is preferable.
iPhone: No idea.
Just do it. The web is a better place without ads.
As to a course of action here?
More subs would help. While I am restricted by the terms of ad sense to discuss the program specifics, including revenue, I don't see any clause limiting me from making comparisons. A single commercial benefactor would likely offset the entire program.
Shit's a changing gents. I've got work to do. So I'm off to do it. I have to get PL off this shitshow of a host as a start, and this seems like a way to go about it.
I have no problem for you to offset some of the costs to run
the Forum.
Hell there are other forums that seem to have more adds than
posts. Good luck with your New Years resolution. :coffee:
BTW... Happy New Year Spec.

An ad or two is no problem at all. As long as it doesn't get as bad as LPF where you have to literally scroll down the entire height of the screen to get to the forums because the top is just ads and ads and more ads
Take care of yourself first...Quote:

But thanks for the Link for perhaps other sites.

That said there is an option to disable adblock on certain pages, like PL.
That one little video ad on the bottom keeps starting and dragging me down to it every time I click on a new message. Terribly annoying and intrusive spam. I can look past visual advertising garbage, but I won't tolerate them when they force my screen to change against my will.
I support the idea of ads. I just disabled my ad blocker for here. Just please don't make it horrible like on lpf ;)
