billyhoyle Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Is there a reason you can't just go back? The site is currently unusable without an ad blocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 While you're at it, can we get rid of the stupid bob dole face as the default reaction? It was funny for about 5 seconds but time to move back to the standard thumbs-up. 5 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a similar graphic but rendered in a stone like texture that we can bestow upon posters that give a "rock hard" take 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they're hilarious for some, but a simple Facebook-like thumbs-up as the default is best.

juniorvarsity Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I saw someone mention the ad blocker and it reminded me how I used to the the Brave Browser on my old phone. Zero ads when using this browser. I recommend it period. Not just for this site. They do not track you and as blocker is built into the browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

de4856 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 There are too many ads, and once you delete them they should stay deleted. But unfortunately they pop right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This comment is so fire. Porn sites have less of their canvas taken by ads. Not that I visit frequently. Maybe add gambling and food / recipe sites to the list of “less ads”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingcement Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Bob Dole = "Like" Brain = "Smart post" Laughing face = "LOL" Wrestling = "Wrestling" Cigarette = "That was a heavy post, I may need a cigarette to help me digest the implications" Death skull = "I'm laughing so hard I am actually dead" Confused face = "Me, the person that is using this emoji, is a Karen" Stalling = "Jombo" Potato = "Idaho" Shit = "Shitpost" Clown = "Clownpost" Duck = "Patrick Glory ducked Jesse Ybarra" Banana = "Ionel" etc 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex1fly Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 (edited) Maybe they changed something because on the phone this morning I have two pop ups going simultaneously on every page instead of one! That’s progress right? If I leave those open and scroll a bit I can get a third ad too for ads on 60% of my screen.

ionel Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I get two pop-ups regardless of devive, phone, tablet or computer prob cause Google Chrome on all three which generally makes life easier. Rarely use computer for the forum, its slightly less annoying on computer as doesn't block as much space. If I had a nickel for everytime I've hit the tiny x I'd have a semi load of nickels by now. Hitting the x really doesn't do any good as the pop-ups come right back within ~20 sec. If no change by Fri I will be officially annoyed, just say'n. .

Camel Wrestling Fan Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I just want say how much I love the ads. I have a lot of free time so I enjoy watching all the ads dancing all over the forum. The best part? Clicking those bastards by accident and getting redirected. I know personally I am encouraged to buy the product. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling knowing I am contributing to more of thses ads popping up all over everything I view on the internet. Rock on!

I mean it will but it might not be in the way you desire. People may stop using the site or start using adblock. Made the mistake of visiting from chrome on a mobile device without adblock and got the tapatalk/browser question cover by an ad that WKN mentioned last week. Prevented the selection of either option and the site was greyed out and unusable until a selection was made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
