What is with the new ads? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

blackhawke88 · 05-12-2008, 10:12 PM

I myself hate starting new threads but is it me or did TN step it up with the advertisements? My screen just got a lot crowded today with ad banners on the top and bottom of the page...

mjonags32 · 05-12-2008, 10:22 PM

yeah tons of ads. i think that means more $$ for TN

ilovetacos · 05-12-2008, 10:23 PM

yep

I guess they want us to pay for the supreme memberships.

Just get firefox and install the adblock add-on
No ads whatsoever

I was wondering why I'm not seeing them and that would be why.

Ad block plus gets ride of em all.
Just have to add the script for the fast reply as an exception and you are set to go.

Yeah I wondered that myself.

Personally I don't want to load something to block something. Having the ability to do it from my subscription was one of the reasons why I opted to pay the fee. Not the only reason but it played a part in my decision. If someone who is an admin or mod knows more of what is going on I am interested in their input. Yeah I could PM someone but who is best???

I didn't even know TN had ads until I checked the site with my friend's computer running IE. I can understand the need for some advertiser support, but the site looks like something from Geocities circa 1985 with all the crowded windows...

el_smurfo · 05-13-2008, 12:40 PM

P.S. I wonder how many new visitors click right through without bothering to join based solely on the volume of advertising?

blackhawke88 · 05-13-2008, 01:32 PM

the thing is I have firefox and everything was great until yesterday...i dont have any pop ups but the section between thread tools/buttons and the forum buttons has a bunch of new ads...

The site owners put the new ads in. Yeah they suck, I see them as well. But unfortunately they are a necessary evil, we need the ads to generate revenue to keep the site going and make it profitable.

Xedge-I'm going to email the site owner about making Supreme members exempt from the ads, I can't promise anything, but I'll try.

With ad block plus I have zero ads.

Thanks for explaining Dana & I do realize there is no free lunch.

I appreciate your efforts
