Ads Suck: We're Experimenting With an Alternative

Hey folks, ads suck for everyone. Right now, between them and supporting memberships they’re barely covering site expenses anyway so we’re going to play with a few options to see if that’s better for everyone.

You might have noticed a pop-up when visiting the site. If you’re okay with this, we’ll leave it running for a bit to see how much this offsets the ads. In which case, we might switch over and completely remove the ads.

Thoughts?

It is the weekend. Our regulars won’t complain until their work computers start freaking out, probably Tuesday since Monday is “happy birthday to thee.”

It’s nice to see they’re covering expenses.

I can’t see ads or popups. Ads are dangerous. I only allow select content, so I’m a poor test subject.

Yeah, I don’t see ads or popups, but my work firewall blocks all that stuff. And I don’t get on here on my ipad or phone because I hate tapatalk. Still waiting on the bullshido ap. :smiley:

Redirects and popups on mobile are reduckulous. Just about kills usability.

It’s better today but I couldn’t use the site. I thought one of the mods found out I took their mother out for a nice seafood dinner and never called her again.
