Title: Ads on SF?
Post by: sweetsh on April 05, 2012, 08:08:57 pm: After I came back today I found out that ads on the forum are increasing. For me, this really annoying advert called "Ads By Clicksor" are popping out at the bottom of the page..

How can we minimize this?

Sorry, and thanks

Post by: NotAbod on April 05, 2012, 08:20:47 pm: Google has disabled our adsense account, and now we are using this new ads system (I assume it's a temporary change only)
Sorry for the inconvenience.

and as MU and Amelia said, you can download the Adblocker extension for chrome or firfox.

Title: Re: Ads on SF?
Post by: $tyli$h Executive on April 11, 2012, 03:05:15 pm: And the forum is insanely slow. At least remove the ads for some days? Maybe you can change domain name to reinstate google ads?

Post by: AminakaRo on June 25, 2022, 11:43:51 am: Yep. Its amusing to see what ads come up by typing a few key words in. That might have been an interesting forum idea in itself- try and type in words that bring up the most bizarre ads
