Site News Pop up ads

[SD]

Okay bet I’ll be the test subject … nothing suspect yet I feel like you made it so a big weenie is going to pop up outta nowhere while I’m scrolling through lol

I honestly wish I had thought of that

 

[Tarheel1]

So these popups are Googles new inline ads you will see them more and more. I'm trying to figure out how to go back to banners but until then this is what we have. We are in trouble with Google for turning the ads off

------! Just now on phone, safari

I know you will. We are working to get rid of them but the struggle....it's real

I'll bring up the donation drive idea again. I don't have the upgraded server cost yet but we are likely to end up around $1500 per year in expense. If we were to reach that number through donations we could turn ads off, upgrade the server, potentially have live threads again, and we won't have to go to 3rd party image hosting

Maybe we should just start an onlyfans where we post hawt weather images

Folks, get a damn ad blocker and it'll be done. Or pay Shane lots and lots of money.

Thank you for getting on board. For just a few pennies a day you too can be ad free

Or just different pics of Brick

The pop up ads aren’t really a problem. Just one click and it’s off. No issues from me.

I use Adblock Plus and uBlock Origin in fire fox. I see no adds pop up or otherwise. Been using the 2 firefox extension for free for years. Even tells you how many adds each block. Never watch ads on Youtube Videos or websites. Both are easy to turn off in those rare occasion where a website detects ad blocker and just as easy to turn back on when I am done.

The pop ups are kind of annoying but it's only a serious problem for me if one sneaks through that is malware laden. That hasn't happened yet, I'm just stating something that would be a problem for me.

(I do have software that fights malware but I don't have software that blocks ads)

 

[gaikkeb]

I'm game to donate, may not be much but I'll help. This site is too important to me, my friends, and family. SD, message me on what I can do!

I’m getting them but I’m not too bothered tbh. I could care less if they were there or not .

 

[SD]

Increase ad frequency :

I had a little "trust" in Google considering they penalize websites that have pop-up ads in the search engine rankings. Seems to be especially on mobile, they have become just as invasive versus what they say they stand for.

They barely make any money anyways, we'll look into options on a replacement.

 

[PEA_RIDGE]

JUST GOT ONE ON CHROME ON A DESKTOP

 

[accu35]
