jhulud Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 What gives? In the last two to three days I’ve been seeing & getting pop-up bottom ads. Why is this happening now? Is it just me? 🤦🏻♂️ N8TRU, kappa and backpackoat 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 It is horrendous. Covers half the goddamn screen on mobile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Han Solo Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I'm getting them too. Its annoying to have to close them every time I open a new page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can deal with ads, but they're popping up on EVERY page and it's pretty annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 They're at the top of the page AND popping up at the bottom of every single page you go to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danny Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 For the last few days i have been testing a new way to fund the VC server/maintenance costs. A second ad company who pays more than google. Google is horrible for paying what ads are actually worth so we had to look for another revenue stream to pay for the costs to run VC. As you may or may not know, VC is pay for out of pocket by Danny and Jenna. Costs keep rising and google keeps paying less. So we need a solution. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I was also just told we edit the frequency of the pop up ads so it can be seen 1 time per use and if X'd out it wont show again for another hour. Thoughts? Hate it or not. What other solutions are out there? I spoke to @jhulud and we both agree we want your input. Again sorry for testing it without letting everyone know. I should have explained my plan for testing for doing it. Sorry! Tommy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 NOW THERE ARE TWO AT ONCE ONE ON EITHER SIDE I mean, if we have to have it the either side thing is fine as it's not in the way on Desktop, not sure how it shows up in mobile. I don't give a shit about ads if they're not intrusive. Can the infolinks thing not just appear the same way Google did? Banner ad at top at bottom, not floating?

N8TRU Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I can barely see my screen with these ads on the side that pop up every time I open a new page. It's 2 ads total for the sides. Tommy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc32137 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 The side banners aren't too bad on my work monitor because it's wide enough that the ads don't cover any content. They're only in the dead/gray space. I'll check how it looks on my home monitor later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I'd rather not have these floating and cover the board controls, force the whole thing skinnier so that the banners always fit in the grey space on either side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 What the fuck is going on. Now I'm getting 2 ads on the sides, 1 ad at the top, 1 ad at the bottom, 1 ad IN THE MIDDLE OF POSTS..... We are 1 step away from having 8 different flashing neon >>>Open Thread<<< buttons and 7 of them are just malware installs and 1 opens the thread. This is stupid. daegor and Tommy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
