I think most of the staff agree that the ads on VGChartz are trash, and I can't recall that ever being the response, our response has typically always been that we can't do anything about it which is true. We did send Ioi an email a couple or so weeks ago but have yet to get a reply, I'm using Adblock and try to avoid coming to the site on mobile now thanks to the auto-play/auto-sound adverts.

Luckily I'm a supporter, so am able to use the site in my phone. 

That's the thing though.... I sub to stuff like Netflix as it's €15 a month for great content.... do you really think this site is so good that it can afford to annoy mobile users into asking an entry fee?

@Ryuu96 I have on at least 2 separate occasions been given a reply about the ads on here as being from the same pool as used on X and Y other websites, not addressing the fact that on here the site is/ (was more at the time) held together so poorly that certain adverts just straight up break/broke the formatting of the site layout and rendered this site , not site X and Y unusable. It would be like having a strobe light set up in a ward for photo-sensitive epileptic patients and then saying that the lights are fine because the disco across the street uses the same brand of light bulb.

Again though, my main point is the fact that this site I would rate as fair from a desktop point of view, poor/very poor from a mobile point of view and it certainly isn't a site which will grow by pointing users towards the paywall if they want to be able to browser here in any reasonable way, I mean even without the ads, the text entry on mobile is really just counter-intuitive, doing text entry on a forum shouldn't require a tutorial to be able to navigate to a "submit" button.
