    Yeah I used to read this site two or three times a day. The ads taking over my screen have me only visiting once or twice a week

    This was happening to me on my cell for a while and now the ads are gone. Disappeared for no apparent reason. Keep that shit to yourself.

    OK, I just discovered this today! If you disable javascript support within your browser, it will get rid of the popup ads. I use a Mac, iPad and iPhone so your mileage may vary if using a Windows or Linux based device. Please note that this may affect the proper operation of other web pages so use this technique with caution.

    Go to Safari; Settings; Security and disable javascript.

    I hope this helps!!

    Websites cost money. I have no problem with the owners making money in the least bit. This is the same mentality that people are OWED all information by our coaching staff.

    Shut up. There's a difference in normal ads at the top of the page, and the ones that cover your whole viewing area and pop ups that basically trick you into clicking them. I don't block the ads, and I click them to help out.

    Wrong way at looking at it. This website is most likely a 15 year old vBulletin. Board could make a killing if they upgraded to modern code, you could have dynamic ad bidding up top that is less intrusive to readers but makes the owners more money. Google also penalizes slower websites which hurts the attraction for ad providers. You really want a Discourse upgrade here which I think would work great in comparison to six packs XenForo

    And this site doesn't make a ton of money at all. So thanks to those who do support it.
