literally noticed it today, the ads are unbearable, like they're popping up everywhere on PC even with adblock on haha.

definitely an issue if navigating around here remains like "ad pops up", "add pops up", "add pops up". and they're like all videos which is worse, it kills browser speed.  not cool

it varies by devie, your security and if you have viruses. On my old ophone i couldn't even load the site due to well over a dozen ads. New pone, 1 pop up maybe two banners and the odd video.

I've used this site from a few different sources in the last day (mobile phone, desktop, laptop) and I can ensure you that the ads are pretty potent regardless of circumstance

And you'll get a sneak peek at the new design... (Soon!)

Do you have an ETA on this? 

The preview is about a week or two away. The full new site is still a long way off.



Signature goes here!

How will the ads be affected?  And does it support mobile devices?

I never browse on mobile, it just doesn't function at all, the ads take up most of the screen space and are really ruining the experience.

Why is the supporter program so overpriced? It seems more like a money making scheme than anything.

£1 is overpriced? do you live in a third world country?

 

@op, i have to agree, before i was using the supporter program there was times when this site was unusable. i was banned for a few hrs ealier this month and the experience of not having my supporter perks was vomit inducing.

Just because its cheap doen't mean it is overpriced.

The gold supporter is even worst.  Double it a year and I can get an all access pass to watch every NFL game live as well as the last 4 seasons.  

Here all you get is some increased displays woopie doo. 

The site owner doesn't even make an appareance anymore and hasnt for a good time. The community i what makes this site, so I don't see why we should pay him for it when he makes no effort.

You think because I can afford to pay for something that it can't be overpriced?  Seriously?  

There are places where less than $18 will give your account a lifetime exception from ads.

It was sarcasm.

I'm sure it was mr Gold supporter.

Sorry to say, but its gotten to the point that I'm adblocking this website. I love this site, and I'm more than willing to turn it off if this improves. But the amount of ads on-screen are just too much for me to handle.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
