dsn Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 How about sneaking in a small "disable ad" button. dsn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raf Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Adblock for Firefox blocks the content. The post is still there, albeit blank, and you cannot "ignore" the user Advert Bot. Cant say I like it. I think my time is done here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJQ Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Looks like were gonna rework things a bit... no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Also find that some of the advert content is beyond what we're allowed to post here. The "Spiel Filter" would get us for posting similar content... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJL Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Its just like having Clampett back on the site...insert random image here.... Or when Danbo went through that David Hasselhoff phase for a couple months The ads do get pretty annoying though...Some of them I can't even tell what they're for.LOL Adblock filters out the rest and leaves a blank post.

Cast-Away Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 I use Google Chrome and all of the ads are automatically blocked. Give it a try, it is a great browser with the favourite website window pain as the home page. OFC is one of the eight that I have pinned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinger Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) My adblocker blocks them anyways so i don't see them. They are just empty boxes. Edited March 23, 2010 by Kinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerritt Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) I have set Firefox to block all ads/images coming from googleads.g.doubleclick.net All I see now is a blank post.. and you are right Wayne... some of the content was questionable. All of the ads were not even remotely related to the outdoors.. mostly marketing and webhosting stuff...with the odd scantly clad women wanting me to visit a fitness dating site, as she shows off her cleavage. Does this site receive revenue every view? or every click? as I cannot see it generating very much income on a per click basis, given the content of the ads. if the ads were related to outdoor related products and services (ie lodges, suppliers, outfitters etc) I would be more inclined to click on something that catches my interest... Dating, marketing and web hosting are not something I am interested in. my 0.02 cents on it.. G. Edited March 23, 2010 by Gerritt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiel Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Also find that some of the advert content is beyond what we're allowed to post here. The "Spiel Filter" would get us for posting similar content... Spiel Filter? There's no Spiel filter just some occasional post reply editing for those that seem to have difficulty understanding the rules which seem to be pretty straight forward.

bigfish1965 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 The crawlers take awhile to index the content on the site. We then get assessed by keywords. Sponsors then bid on those keywords. Until the new crawl is done, you get ads from sponsors who will take anything. The fact that many people appear to be blocking ads here is exactly why it had to be done. Some ads are per click, some by impression. By blocking we lose impression counts. It is not a huge inconvenience to disable Ad Block for OFC in order to keep this thing afloat. The ad bot will continue in other forum areas for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerritt Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 hey! there was a fishing related ad! Ohhh JOY! so I clicked it.. Something about the "Secret Weapon" but they wont show you what it is LOL! it was an interesting video though... just seemed a little to far fetched for me, as they wont show you or tell you what it really is! Anyways just thought I would post this, as it seems that there are ads being placed that are related to us. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
