Dear Admin,
I understand that sponsorship keeps this forum alive. I also understand that listing those sponsors is likely a condition of the sponsorhip. However, why do we have to have pop-ups and other things like that that are beginning to take up more of the page than the forum? Can't the needs of the sponsors be met without having this HUGE pop-up showing up at the bottom of the page, on EVERY PAGE that is opened?? Big ad along the left side? It's getting really annoying to open a page then have half of it covered by pop-ups and other misc bs......I have my pop-up blocker turned on and it still shows up....
I like coming to this forum, and have friends here, but come on.....this is getting ridiculous.....
Rant over.....

nomadThe ones on the side don't bother me much. But, that GD one on the bottom annoys the shyyt out of me. It's almost enough to quit coming to this site.

imakehpNever really notice excessive ads here. But, I also understand that you don't get something for nothing. So, ads come with using the forum. Scot doesn't owe me an ad-free site. Why should he work for free?
Hell, there's people here that have "look at me" photos bigger than any ads.

GoobI've never had any pop up in Bracket Talk, ever.??
4 little banners at the bottom and the rack of banners at the top, nothing in my way at all...I can click on them to open, but that's it.

Big SteveI agree, the ones that pop ups on the bottom of the page are irritating as hell and have nothing to do with any sponsors of this site..Almost as irritating as seeing blocked posts by the local retard on dam near every thread in the site

undacuva67The big azzed banner on the bottom runs me off pretty quick . Annoying as a double barrelled SOB .

adv ET 266I only view/post using a small iPhone. Nothing pops up. Seems like the amount is the same as it’s been for ages.

maliciousintentAre ya'll willing to pay an access fee for this site to avoid the adds? You can't expect to have access for free do you? Scott has a business that needs to cover expenses and maybe even a little profit. If you don't like the adds and are not willing to pay an access fee then don't use the dam site.
