Curious what the ads bring in. Maybe a group of us could all donate whatever the equivalent ad revenue would be for the next couple of years so we can go ad-free for that time?

Doesn't he push that back to you, though? I recall that's what happened last time as he doesn't understand the IT side of things?

If it ends up being a technical issue then yeah, but the only thing I do is make sure the ad embed code is in the site. After that it's the ad provider that manages which ads come up so any specifics around ads I don't have any access to.

If he wanted to set up something where someone could pay a subscription to go ad free then yeah I would enable that feature on the site.

Fair enough. I just remember last time when everything went crazy with ads screwing up everyone's browsing ability on PC and phones Bingo had mentioned he doesn't know anything about that stuff and to talk to you if there were any issues or complaints.

The ads are really intrusive. Randomized sound engagement, pop ups you can't close because the icons too small.

Chrome on a cell phone is not this new adwares speciality.

Yup these ads are trash. Take up most of the screen while also forcing the page to jump around horizontally and vertically while zooming in on the ad so much you can't locate the small arrow on the left to minimize it. Great stuff

These ads are infuriating. Can barely see half the screen now. C'mon Bingo.

You also can’t listen to anything ad the ad blocks your music or whatever. It’s like a Russian malware takeover.

Yeah trying to browse on my phone or post is infuriating right now. In a way maybe it's good...it's enough to make me not want to come to the site they suck that much. I'll go out of my way to never support any of those advertisers.

I'm having the same issue on an android with Firefox and Chrome.

This is one of the only threads that I have been able to see the reply box in the last couple days.

It’s brutal. Pretty sure bingo would stop
It in a second if he saw how bad they are.

Just got blocked by community natural foods ad on this page so I just sent them an email how much a large group of Calgarians hate their guts and are boycotting them.

I mean everyone was talking about it in a thread in FOI and then he responded to the first post after that that was about hockey and not the ads. Does he know it's up to him and not you?

He knows. Maybe he just now turned off the full page covering popup ads that were ruining the experience here?
