COMPLAINT: Advertizing on this site...

Skyman · 12-24-2003, 06:45 PM

When some ads starting popping up on this site a while back people were bitching, I backed it up. Nothing wrong with ads on the site, of course it has to be supported. Recently pop-ups starting coming on the site, and I stopped visiting here as much. Today I come on I click on blue oval lounge, and I am sent to a full page ad that I have to click "no thanks" on to get past. Then a pop-up loads and I finally get to the page I want to.

Im back on dialup at home due to a recent move. This is ridiculous. This site is sadly going down hill, it used to be my #1 mustang stop online, but now due to the ads I am on others most of the time. Its sad maybe Dan is just trying to milk some money out of it as it goes down the drain. I hate to be a complaining *******, but Im sure most people would agree its too many ads, I feel like I'm on a porn site.

Hey sky, been a long time!

I agree about the adds, I just started coming back up here 2 days ago and I do not see a lot of people I used to know.

I was hopeing it would pick back up again.

Good seeing you up here again. See ya!

Skyman · 12-24-2003, 11:19 PM

Hey Man. Hows the car, looks like youve done a few changes huh? I was shocked w/ the adds.

StangFlyer · 12-25-2003, 01:23 AM

I have NEVER seen the ad you are talking about. What is the ad for? There should be no such thing here. Furthermore, I am not intentionally doing anything to "milk" this site at the expense of our members.

StangFlyer · 12-25-2003, 01:36 AM

I found the ad you were talking about by using a different browser to surf the site. I had never seen this before, and... the ad company I use had never informed or asked if that type of ad was acceptable to be delivered here. Therefore, I have removed ALL pop-ups PERIOD from being delivered.

WoW. that was painless. Hope my dentist vist goes that easy

Skyman · 12-25-2003, 01:54 AM

Dan,
Sorry to *****, but yea that was ridiculous. A full screen add that you have to click on , well you saw it, to get past to the regular part of the site. Its too bad they pulled that on you, I retract my comments, slightly embarassed. Anyways, you'd think they could get in trouble doing that w/ out informing you first.

I still get this one. It loads when I click on MW's bookmark. Mater of fact you can see MW's in the addy bar. Upper right is the direction for getting out of it

Say's loading or click to skip this add. THIS ONE BITES MY HINIE.

Although I don't think this type is considered a popup. Still bites.

As of this point in time, the above screen shot from mustangII460, the ad is still coming up on entering the board.

Five0 · 12-25-2003, 08:53 AM

Hey skyman, yes I have made a lot of changes, Almost everything.

We are hopeing for low 9 sec times on the bottle and mid 10's off the bottle.

I did not like the add but I am glad dan is takeing care of it, thanks dan.

I am glad that the post count is back.

I have some pics of the motor and heads in pics of the new motor

StangFlyer · 12-25-2003, 10:40 AM

I made another change that hopefully should keep it from happening...
