Dang. This website now has more ads than the websites blocked on my work network.

I am doing a thing with Google this month - so far I am not a fan but going to see it out - not sure why they cant keep from covering up the reply box - Ive submitted a few hundred error reports, but google is the China of customer service (doesnt exist)

All that sweet sweet user data and IP information.

I dislike the full-page ads I get when using a phone. Were donations not enough to keep the site up and running?

 

[Orchid PE]

There's an ad almost every other post now.

You might consider installing AdBlocker.

You might consider installing AdBlocker.

I used to have two different ad blockers installed, but then sites I frequented starting detecting ad blockers and wouldn't allow you to the site if they were enabled.

The Tire Store Manager where I dropped my truck off was kind of hot (attractive blonde who can fix your car and is probably an MMA fighter on her time off).

I dont care if you install an adblocker - and I appreciate you all putting up with this for a short time - if they cant get the ads to reduce and stop covering content this will defin be short lived - I am trying to find a way to have the google ads only show to people viewing the forum who are not members - but my day job is getting in the way.. its not huge revenue so right now its not worth it but wanted to see how it plays out..

That thing that's weird is that I'm not getting any ads (except the usual PE-related ones that were always there) when I'm on my desktop/normal web browser on my computer, but the minute I switch to my mobile I'm getting all the ads.  Not sure if that might be causing some of the errors?  

AND HOW DARE YOU DON'T PUT EB FIRST BEFORE YOUR JOB.  GOD.  WAY TO NOT BE DEDICATED.  (jk, jk)

For me, the number & placement of ads vary. I mostly access on my computer right now (because I don't like having to tag all of the people in maf on my phone lol).

Sometimes, I have as many ads as @Chattaneer PE showed on mobile plus one covering the reply box. Sometimes, I have 3 ads and none covering the reply box. And then when I'm on my phone, I have the same number that Chatt showed - on mobile, it's only the banner ad at the top that's annoying.

have you tried using tapalk?  I never look at the web browser (but I guess I should so I can see how ugly it is) - but it is almost ad free -

It's like a radar detector detector.

sorry MS

I am going to go run a little before lunch and try and beat all the other millions of people out for a run at lunch!

Is someone going to be chasing you?

Is someone going to be chasing you?

This used to be the only way I could motivate myself to run.

I used to get prepared in my running clothes and then go out in public, to like a grocery store or shopping mall. I would hang around until I spotted a man that I knew I could outrun. I would approach him, slap him, then take off running. A chase would ensue, and it really kept me motivated. It worked for a while and I was getting my miles in regularly.

But I no longer do that. It only took one time to underestimate the speed of someone.
