Mariner stuff not worthy of a whole thread

Somewhat off topic but does anyone else get adverts while browsing the forum for photographs of women from various different walks of life with phenomenonally enormous breasts in marginally compromising positions, all with implied promises of greater revelations if clicked upon?

Haha, I used to get that and complained to Adz. He fixed it

@adz please do not fix this.

Yeah sorry guys I've tried blocking that shit in google ads but for some reason it keeps coming back. Might just turn off ads.

No really, it's funny. Cheap thrills! As if I'll click on it but a bit of titillation (so to speak) with my football is acceptable! It's pretty inoccous, far from page 3!

Mind you some of the sex toy ads are somewhat eye opening!! And i thought i was a man of the world!

You got Adz to turn it off Mick?

 

[Corsair]

So that's why they call him Adz..... it's all about the kickbacks and the Benjamins!

If you’re using them to open your eyes, I’m not sure you read the instructions properly Dobbie….

Can change the browser you use. Brave blocks all the ads if you don’t want to see them.

ublock origin extension on most browsers will work too

Question - does blocking ads impact revenue to the site? I want to support the operating of this place so if it means seeing ads I'll turn them back on

People in this thread not thinking about how targeted ads work

It does. There isn't much coming through but the server costs are quite a bit so it goes towards it.
Hopefully I'll get some time to spend on the site again soon (ish), look at some different options to support development and running of the site. The plan is (and has been for a few years tbh) to try and make this a bit more than an old-school forum, try and build the online community up a bit more, and actually be able to offer something worth paying maybe a couple of dollars per month for, instead of just putting the hand out for donations, which I hate the thought of doing.

I was referring to the ads settings for the site. They give you pages and pages of ads to go through and approve or block - approved by default. I've knocked out as many dodgy categories as I could, but people must "accidentally" put their listings in the wrong category because we are getting shit that nobody wants to see. I scroll through the pages every now and then and try and get rid of as much as possible, but for some reason these ones are saying blocked in the settings but then they show on the site anyway.

Ummm yeah I don't look this stuff up. Well maybe have a quick squiz to see what it's about.
Also not sure what kind of camping you get up to if you need some of the gear I've seen.
Not judging.

I turned off blocking for ccmfans.net, happy to scroll past some ads if it helps

all good mate if it's shitting you block them - I'm gonna flick them off anyway because it's not worth seeing them when they are just garbage
