Adblock Plus finally sorted it out. Thank goodness.

There’s a very real risk here that I’ll come across as that insufferable teacher's pet—the kind of person who treats every instructor's word like it’s the eleventh commandment—but I have to ask: why does this actually bother people so much? I mean, sure, it’s ugly, it’s totally unnecessary, and it’s just... bad design—but what specific problems is it actually causing?

I don't see how it slows down page loading, nor is it one of those annoying pop-ups that jumps in front of the text to block your reading, or some floating element that drifts across the screen while you're scrolling... It’s really not a big deal.

Honestly, that "Atlas" (?) anti-clockwise ad is way more irritating.

I feel the exact same way 🤷
It looks like it’s popping up as a second post on the page. Honestly, if they hadn't made it that bright orange, it might be less annoying, but then again, if it just matched the site's skin, nobody would even notice it. And if nobody notices it, there's no point in running an ad, right?

Looking back at all those previous attempts, what actually surprises me is how little this even bothers me 🤣

Most definitely🤷

Hey everyone,

We’re running a little experiment here. We want to make sure these ads aren't constantly getting on your nerves and, ideally, actually offer some value. Otherwise, what's the point?

I didn't quite grasp the rules of this thread, so they went ahead and locked my post.🙂

I’m using Mozilla, and I need to know how to get rid of this absolute nuisance immediately. Does anyone have a fix? 🙂

People are going to start jumping ship en masse because of these ads—just like they did with Blogger.

Maria Barnes, when are you finally going to replace ZgSash? ☕

They’re honestly such a vibe image

Everything you could ever want is right there image

but if I had to pick my top three favorites, it’d definitely be a hot boss, the block demolition craze, and card towers image

I'd suggest you change the site name from forum.com to ruralvillage.com.

Thanks.

Give me a break.
How do you guys even deal with real life if this kind of nonsense gets under your skin so much?

Honestly, this layout is awesome because the pages don't feel so repetitive anymore. Having one ad per page is totally hitting the sweet spot.

Could someone grab a screenshot of what just popped up 🤷?
Or did it disappear in the meantime 🤔?

I've honestly just gotten used to it at this point. 🤷

What does that even say about me? 🤔
I swear, I spend way too much time hanging out here. 😲
