Report Problems with Bad Adverts (Popups, Redirects, Intrusive)

[winb83]

I had a check and the site was never this bad before.

Guess the new owners like the ad revenue.

There's new owners? Is that why these mobile ads that are videos show up?

I'm just assuming since cook and BKS are all but gone. They were also on the ball about the ads and removing the awful ones. I used to get some banner ads here, nothing intrusive. Over time I just put the adblock back on as it progressively got worse. Really, the maintenance (lack thereof) is the most telling part. I really don't think they are a part of the ownership anymore. Can't do avatars, no open registration, the STD level of ads, etc. Just seems like usability went south, the ads went up, and the OGs are not around anymore.

I'd love to be wrong, it's just all things point to different owners. If not different owners, someone else seems to be running things into the ground.

An important date in 2023 is when the domain expires. We will see if the name gets re-registered before it goes out.

I guess it's possible they quietly sold the site to some company or group that buys up internet message forums and sucks the life out of them.

Looks like something wish would make LoL. But Yes it's getting annoying especially if on phone

Not even worth keeping the site off the ad block. Think of yourselves first.

Now I'm getting redirected to "click if you are not a robot" with a full screen pic of a blue robot.
Is we finished or is we done?

These redirect ads out of control. My DNS Adblock isn’t working and I didn’t wanna have to resort to using an Adblock vpn..guess I might have to

Keep getting some Mcafee security pop up on desktop.

Today is bad for me. I have Adblock up but these adverts have been taking up a 3rd of my screen today.
