What's with all the AD'S???

[Rick D]

Is everyone else seeing all these ad's? Very annoying!!! Also what's with all the posts disappearing?? I read a thread but I get lost because someone answers back to someone but you don't see the question or statement?? Just wondering if it's me or???

[makoshark]

Wow! I see that too. Slows my already aging computer down even further. If they don't fix this, then I'll just quit coming over here

[hotrodneb]

I am all for small business and profit. Please sell as much as you can here and earn all you can make.....I am good with it ALL up until it affects my user experience. You are getting close to that point

[alocker]

Yep, it just got pretty bad. Like a forum that I am not a member of or logged into. Fortunately I ignore them, I just hope it doesnt make browsing clunky.

[killer69]

yea there are guys who specifically pay to be advertisers on the site that don't get as much "in your face" as the drop in ads. too much for me. ad the site does seem really slow!

[MarkM66]

This site keeps going down hill. It's unfortunate.

[shane38]

the ads suck but its all about money i guess so prop another way for them to make money lol

[Larry Callahan]

We just need a little time to see what works, what doesn't and what is acceptable. I just now received the first 24 hour report and will go over it.

[Larry Callahan]

The site does slow down as the membership goes up. We already have a big move in the works. A new server with room to grow in a more central location is currently being looked into.

[howehot]

I agree. The ads and the long time sponsor are overshadowed by the ad campaign.

[bret]

Yeah, charge us more, lose the pop up ads.
Don't give your time and services away... No one else here does. This is a great site and your ad rates are quite reasonable. Keep the site great and the ad rates a smidge less than "quite reasonable"

[wiedemab]

I find myself not reading threads that I normally would because I hate seeing the ads inserted into them. I then find myself visiting the site less.

Please make them go away!

I see them too.. obviously they made some changes with our cookies.. so they can see what we search the most...I know they have to make money, but this is alot of adverts in a small space.. Lateral-g will become more and more popular if this keeps up

It's only been just over 24 hours. We need a little time to work this out. I am working on some changes and can't do anything until the guy that helps me with the server returns. He works nights and is probably still asleep.

[birdsandbowties]

i just was in my private messages box and ads popped up, makes me think someone is watching, thats the one thing i hate about the internet the most,,,,, are the ads trying to sell you stuff you have no interest in and you cant close them out ! like right now as i am typing this there is an ad above that says "view private message" its all about cookies and getting your ip address and sending your email with junk ads, the internet is a great thing without all of this !

man , just charge us a little more and dump these google ads, we will all be much better off !!

[AMSOILGUY]

I'll agree.

Heard that...I think everyone is just making sure you're hearing them

Always good to try new stuff...there's never any progress unless you do. And if every new thing you tried worked out...well, you'd be the first. Good luck with the updates.

[MrQuick]

sites don't pay for themselves and you gotta do what you gotta do but do we really need Toyota ads? Maybe seeing ads that appeal to the forum feel might make it easy for everyone to digest.

I see other sites that put ads at the last post as opposed to mid thread or in a members post. I'd hate to have people think im peddeling purple penis pills. Seems to go over much better. Keep up the hard work Larry.

I understand its a way too make money.
I have only recently found this site and am currently in the process of pissing my wife off on here daily looking at most of the pages while waiting on my doctors to get their crap together on what to do with me. I clicked on one ad , it said find your muscle car here and i thought it was an actual link too something cool, NOT! I won't do that again.

[TheJDMan]

I understand the need to generate revenue but I think these ads are intrusive and annoying. I won't click on them.
