Bottom Banner Ad has got to GO! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Stephen W. · 06-05-2023, 02:30 PM

It's bad enough that my ad blocker doesn't work on this ad. Or that the ads it shows are of no interest to me. I can sort of live with that but... when the ads are not even in English,

IT'S TIME FOR IT TO GO!

Sadly, it's not going anywhere despite how fucking obnoxious it is.

Stephen W. · 06-05-2023, 02:43 PM

Oh, now I've angered the Ad gods. They are double ading me. The same ad twice on the same page.

You must really suck at making coffee.

seems like you need to update your adblocker.

mine blocks it at the IP level just fine.

Got my first banner across the bottom today on my fire tablet. Sucks

Anyone else magically clicking on invisible ads after they get on the website? Done it 3 times today in the 3 times I logged in. One for the the home button, another for the notification, and the third clicking on the off topic section.

I understand that ads pay for the site, but making them invisible ads that you are forced to click on. That's just ridiculous. One more time, and I'm laying off the site for a bit.

Kaotic Lazagna · 06-11-2023, 07:26 PM

Yup. 4 for 4 today. I'm out...

Yes. I think it's a pop-up ad when you go to a new page.

It's almost like the admin was thinking "What type of ad can I put on the site that would be even more obnoxious and annoying than the other one?"

Bold of you to assume they even log on anymore.

Clipdat · 06-12-2023, 03:36 PM

That ad revenue really improving the server performance tho, amirite?

Spuds · 06-12-2023, 03:44 PM

Saw it again on my way in. I'm peacing out for the day.
