Hey advertisers and website peeps.
If the first thing that pops into a website members brain after seeing your ad is "oh fuck no", you're doing it wrong. Banners at the top and bottom of the pages with the non-active content button links, I have no problem with. I don't even try to block those. And in the past when I have been looking for a part, I have "clicked through" to the linked sites to look for stuff. Active content, video, in-your-face ads get an immediate "oh fuck no" response from me. I go out of my way to never click them or even go to that advertisers website anymore. And if I can find a way to block them, I will. |

WTF! I don't give two fucks if they are gun related ads or not. Fuck over paying members when one of the main selling point of a membership is NO FUCKING ADS! What's next? Ads in between every post but that's OK too because it's gun related? Fuck this nonsense.

Quote HistoryQuoted: If you're going to sell them, they belong at the top or bottom of the page. Not sure I agree with that. I normally scroll past anything up there, without looking at it, and I don't like when the list gets so big that I have to scroll just to see the first thread. |

Do whatever you want but one of the main perks to a paid membership here is to get rid of advertisements. I had my ad blocker set to allow ads on here but after this, I'm blocking every ad on here. |

uBlock Origin allows you to selectively block such elements of a page.
I've already added them to mine - along with wildcards. If they'd like to continue adding more and more - by all means. |

Quote History Quoted:It is internal only (non 3rd party stuff) and only for a couple companies. Fits between topics, so it shouldn't cause you nightmares. Oh, internal only...makes it so much better.  Arf is going downhill really fast due to the censorship, this just speeds the train up. Used to love coming here and wasting time. Now you have to think before posting, is someone going to get all butthurt and will I get a timeout for something stupid. This place used to pride itself on thick skin, hilarious shitposting, and purse-swinging....now all a think of Arfcom past. But hey, INTERNAL ONLY ADS! |

The time you spent coding this change would have been a lot better spent on the coding for the name change tool you promised everyone however long ago that was. You know, build up the good will that ARF used to have with the members and then ask for something from them.

The ads mid-thread are the worst.
Want to quote someone right above the banner ad? You can’t do it because the drop down is behind the ad. @goatboy |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I right clicked on the ad and selected Ad Block. At first, it removed the add but left a thick black border between threads. If you adjust the slider about 2/3rds of the way, it seems to remove the border too without impact anything else. Yep it worked for me. Thanks! I use Adblocker Ultimate by the way. |
