I hear you. The migration to Xenforo is in the works and it will have the ad free subscription option and a new ad agency that will screen out the click bait/malware ads. In the meantime I have disabled all the ads except the bottom and top anchor ads.

That was before posters using ad blockers. It's an option that I am putting out there. No more freeloading by those dishonest enough to circumvent the funding to keep this site going. It's like taking your bacon and eggs to the restaurant and ask them to cook it for free. A larger portion of the regulars on this board are doing exactly that and I am exploring options to keep this site going.

Here's another thought. What if I made the entire site ad free and subscription only at $2 a month after the migration?

I am going to migrate the site from Invision to Xenforo in the coming days. The Xenforo CMS software is the better BBS version and one where we can implement the ad free option that the programmers have not been able to do with Invision. I don't have a specific timeline but it will happen over the offseason, hopefully sooner than later. All of your profiles, post counts, posts, avatars, etc. will be transferred. Think of it as going from a Chevy to a Cadillac.

Need a click through URL to get it blocked.

I am going to convert this forum to Xenforo next month. I'm done with Invision.

Sharing this with our ad ops.

I had it happen to me on a different site yesterday so you are not alone.

Not true. If we do migrate to Xenforo all post counts and profiles will be transferred over.

I have submitted the URL to be blocked. Give it a day and clear out your history. As far as I know you are the only one getting this one.

It's a coding issue that prevents us from offering the ads free option. If it doesn't get fixed soon I will consider the switch to Xenforo.

Guy, Can you post a full page screenshot and a click through URL so I can get them blocked?

Been working on it for awhile. Invision is the issue. Has some old code hidden somewhere and it can't be found so far. Seriously considering migrating to Xenforo.

That should not be happening. I have reported it to the new agency I am trying out.

If the programmers aren't able to implement the ad free option I will migrate the site to Xenforo where I know I can add that option. Don't want the community to go away but it is not sustainable in it's current form. Did I mention that I hate the Invision BBS platform.

Do you want your eggs over easy? Like I said, if ads are blocked breakfast is not going to be free.

If posters continue to use ad blockers this site is going to go away. The programmers are having trouble replacing old code to implement the no ads option. If they are not successful I am going to get rid of this Invision software and migrate to Xenforo. Also going to consider banning posters that use ad blockers on the site. It's like asking a restaurant to cook your bacon and eggs for free. Not a sustainable model.

Will check with them today.

We are changing ad agencies. I have made them aware of this issue.

I got a notice from the company that it will be another week to get it set up. Will ping them again to remind them. Also, going to go with a new agency this month to see if they make it more user friendly.

I have requested it. Waiting on the company to get back to me. Should be done this week.

I have requested that those ads be paused.

That just started yesterday for me. Also getting a lot of malware on my iPhone on other sites. Will share with ad ops.

Where on thee page was that ad located? Top, bottom, middle?

Do you have a screenshot and/or a URL?
