Default site ads

This site became pretty unbearable due to ads displaying in every picture in every thread.. just wanted to pass on what worked for me: adblocker addin for Google Chrome. If you're not using Chrome, you should be.. anyway, just wanted to share that info, it fixed my issues. Get it here.

I noticed that on my iPhone, and while it was annoying, it wasn't a deal breaker.. that scrolly *** ad on every image I saw on the pc tonight was just awful.

Ya I noticed that on my iPhone too. Every time I click on something a car ad with a VW pops up. I thought I was logged out (some forums have a lot of advertisements if your viewing as a non member)

Agreed. They're rather intrusive and obnoxious.
I understand I shouldn't expect much for free, but holy **** they're irritating.

I get that too, and if they're not making enough money from the advertisers to keep the site free.. cool, just say so. I'd pay a small subscription to live here; this is the best sportster community on the net.

If they drive us away they won't make a dime on ads... truth is, we're getting this site for free, but the site is also getting something for free: our traffic viewing their ads. Seems like a win-win.

Don't get too greedy mods. Adblocker works.. I'm happy. If it didn't I'd have likely relocated to XLF. They don't feel like home, but they're viewable.

Ironically, I just now got more ads from viewing this thread than I get from reading most other threads.
