Ok CiS... ads are getting a *bit* ridiculous at this point...

[HurricaneAce07]

Yes, site is free. Yes, we have the option to *pay* for ad-less content. But past few weeks has gotten unbearable with the amount of overlapping ads on each page... The below image is what I see when I open a thread. You see an eye-level ad (mid), a scroll ad (bottom) and NOW we have a video-imbedded ad on the far right that auto-plays when the page opens. There's a right way to do web ads and there's a wrong way; this is the wrong way unless your intent is to force us into paying for ad-less content.

They just need to adjust their settings in their ad network. 3 big ads in active view is overkill

Normally, I agree but on mobile sometimes it develops an ad so big that it takes up the entire page, and you have to reload the page entirely to get rid of it. I don't mind clicking on the occasional ad to bring revenue in, but when the page coding ***** up repeatedly because of it, it should be toned back slightly.

Personally, I considered the $25 a donation and not a fee. All of us get so much good information between this board and especially the recruiting board during the coarse of a year.

The problem isn't ads. It's the amount of ads and location of ads. There is a strong correlation with the addition of ad-less subscription fees and the significant increase in ads + location. Eventually, you lose viewership numbers due to the annoyance.

I wondered why I wasn't having this problem, and completely forgot I donated $25.

That happens rather frequently for me as well. You can reload or if you wait, the ad scrolls back up.

Mine bugs out and doesn't load back up. I can tell it's supposed to, but the scripting breaks in it most of the time and it's just a blank shell.

3 separate ads running when I opened this thread smh

Pay $25/yr for ad-free content. A bit over $2/month. Half a cup of coffee, or half a low-end beer. Less stress if the ads bother you that much.

Also helps support the site owners and admins.
