I don't mind the ads. I welcome Rizzo. Really. I would just prefer not to have to reload the page because some ad service decided to take over the website to show me some ad.

i have a problem with the ads. They are way to intrusive. I dont like Firefox and refuse to use it. I use IE and google chrome. I have a plugin for chrome that blocks that stuff but it isnt 100% and randomly crashes the browser so i dont use it most of the time.
Sure it is on us as individuals to protect ourselves but those fucking ads are too much. I am starting to browse to quakeone less lately because of them. I like to open multiple windows for each thread im viewing and it isnt worth the hassle lately because i have 3 rizzos, an infinity ad and an att ad all talking at once and some you can mute or pause some you cant. If you accidentally scroll near or around those adds it unmute/unpauses them.
I would rather start donating to quakeone like $5 a month to keep these types of ads off the website.Comment

Whats wrong with FireFox? Other then it uses a lot of system resources when you have 20+ tabs open, which is expected...Originally posted by Disco Rockstar View Post
I didn't like FireFox at first either, I was a true-blue IE fanboy, but when IE kept crashing I had to find an alternative, so I tried FireFox, and I've been using it ever since and I really enjoy it now!
The ad block plus add-on for FireFox works awesome! Quakeone.com even loads pages faster now (also the other rest of the ad ridden sites I visit).Comment

Firefox is okay, but I prefer Chrome for the simple, minimalist layout.e|------------------------0---------------

Google chrome's ad block never crashes.Originally posted by Disco Rockstar View Post
What shitty addon are you using?
Besides Firefox does suck, unless you like a memory hog that takes leaks on your memory.
I don't like a browser that pisses on my memory, thank you very much.
Use Chrome. The one and only browser I choose to use. The rest are garbage compared to it.Comment

hmm you are right, i was using a diff add block then the one you are referring to. I switched to the "Google Ad Block" and update chrome as well. Now it seems to be stable. Should have done this months ago. No more RIZZO.
Thanks BFeared.Comment

Guys, the video ads are currently being addressed with the advertising company. The whole purpose of the ads is to offset the costs of hosting the site and nothing more. They were not inteded to be intrusive, hence why you only see one ad in the upper right and a small text block of ads in the left column, nothing more. I completely agree the video ads are annoying and intrusive. I apologize for not posting sooner about this but believe me, they are in the process of being addressed.
I'll keep you guys updated but hopefully those auto-play video ads will be ended next week.

I know the ads are there to pay for the site, so I don't make too much of a fuss about them. I just could do without my browser getting hijacked by them, heh.
For now, I've got some hacky stuff going on involving the restricted sites list for IE and the URLs the ads are coming from.e|------------------------0---------------

Glad to see you understand the point. I think the suggestion of a donation is a great idea if you want to eliminate an advertising experience when you log in. I dont think anyone who is visiting and NOT logged in is gonna complain about these kind of ads, so this might be a good experience for visitors to the site. The real dedicated followers are gonna use logins. There is also alot of other things you can do to generate income on a site like this with alot of content. Probably this has been discussed before, and no one wants to see this become a pay site, else the ads would not be up.

I don't mind the ads , we all know they are needed.
In fact it would be nice if you could get gaming ads for PC games only.
PSP just say NO.WARNING
May be too intense for some viewers.

Well, its got worse. I am seeing them after I post a reply, in FULL PAGE in my browser, and sometimes when I click on a thread, same thing. I will probably be told to use a different browser.Comment

It's still being worked on. Some of the video ads have been removed. I'm going to request the full screen ads be removed as well.Comment
