Well an ad blocker makes this website much better on a PC.

But on a phone, this website sucks even with an ad blocker.

I'm having no issues on Mobile with Opera Mini browser. It has a built in adblocker that hasn't failed me yet! I highly recommend it. It's pretty lightweight too.

I believe it. I remember one guy got banned for "being annoying". Pretty sure that's literally what the ban note said

I once got banned for criticizing a low quality thread. And look at me now!

It's an interesting idea. I'm not opposed to donating if it makes sense.

Funny how things change, eh?

Oh and I gotta say I've noticed a lot more low quality threads since your complaint about them, so thanks for jinxing that!

All friends of mine proving my point to the mods. Just report them as I do :)

What do you mean?

There was talk awhile ago about changing the layout of the site and I thought the proposed changes were inferior to what we have now (thus a downgrade). The chances of something like that actually going ahead with ioi in charge appear minimal, the chances of that happening with new owners (whoever they may be) is significantly higher.

I thought my new layout was vastly superior to what we have now. Especially from a mobile point of view.

Still planning to do the changes by the way (someday)!

Signature goes here!

The idea is great but ioi will either choose not to sell it or price it in the millions. If it is in the millions, even if every member here have £100, it won't be enough. It will be cheaper to create a site from scratch and raise funds for that than to purchase it off ioi.
