Does anyone find adverts on sites like this one annoying?

Post Reply New Topic

I know I certainly do

WP

uh no...I love it here
ads are a part of where I'm from so

there are some adverts on WP? if they are i didn't even notice...

and most of all, if you like WP support it by clicking on the adverts

ads on places like this are irritating

google ads fine but anything else is a bit OTT

I don't like the ones I occasionally see on here that spell Aspergers wrong...
But other than that I just put up with it.

I don't mind them unless they have blinking lights and/or colors

They're a necessary evil.

I don't care about adverts anymore.

They've been everywhere on the internet for so long that I'm so used to them.

let me tell you something son, b boards are expencive. i have three! and they costs probably more than your rent

I think I struck lucky, by blocking ads on other sites it seems to have inadvertantly taken out a lot of wrongplanet ones too, Adblock has it's uses, heh

I've "rolled my own" ad blocker by hacking the host file on my system -- only drawback to this, is that to go back one page, I have to click the "back" button several times; one for the actual WP page, and one for each "advert box" on that page.

I tend to like Google's well-mannered approach to ads. On the other side, I've completely stopped using a particular local, danish search engine since a time when they used ads that splashed themselves all over the web page so you had to actually wait a half dozen seconds before it disappeared, finally allowing me to click and type something in the search engine...!

I love them!

No, honestly, it means the site is paid for with honest (voluntary) money!


Yeaaaaa advertisers!

Now at least they are better than the toe fungus ones they had for awhile. The flashing moving ones can be difficult sometimes though I generally scroll down so they are out of view

I find them distracting. I like my cat site because it doesn't have those annoying ads.
