Ads on website

Is it just me, or are the ads on this website ridiculous! I know the developer wants to make a buck but come on! Just saying!

considering what valuable info this site contains, not to even mention the friendships that develop from here, the "price of admission" being absolutely free and every other "positive" about it....that one might see some ads while lurking seems a small inconvenience, really.

The UHaul site doesn't have any ads - of course the lights are out and no body is posting there. Did I mention no ads?

Lurkers just get a taste of what's available. If you want the full meal deal, become a member, login and those ads disappear and the pictures and downloads become viewable and available to you.

Come join us molded towable lurkers, we'd love to meet you!

Theres an addon for firefox. Its called adblock. It will change your internet experience completely. It will only allow non intrusive advertising and its very strict.

There are no ads to be seen when members sign on. However, if you are NOT logged in and visit the website, there are scads of ads.

So I logged on and posted the message. Then I started looking at the day's posts and discovered all the annoying ads had disappeared In my case I then knew "it was me"

I used to run a couple of websites and know it costs money, let alone alot if time, so having a few ads doesnt bother me at all.

I have no ads at all when using AdBlock add-ons for either Chrome or Firefox. I would recommend them.
