i dont experience it on my computers either because i have a sensible firewall sitting between my network and the internet that deals with untrusted domains.

My work laptop however runs over a vpn and that does not have such filters. So yea...these interstitial/modal type ads are common and frequent. And 100% ineffective at their job.

Mine are mostly always tire rack...



You would cut the number of people down so far what would be the point?
My answer is no

I use an Ad block so I don't get them. I can not browse the web or use my forum sites on my phone. The Ads are beyond horrible.

Yeah full screen pop up ads are BS. As already said every other forum I've been on only does these when you are not logged in. +1 on the ineffective ads. They are all based on stuff I've already been looking at (tire rack, garden sheds, wheels) so if I was going to buy them the ads aren't going to change my mind one way or the other.

They are flirting on the wrong end of a fine line and it's not like it's hard to switch to / create a new forum. I understand they have to pay the bills but the banner ads alone should accomplish that and honestly this site has a lot more vendors with paid sponsorships than a lot of forums.

This is ridiculous and is conditioning people to not want to use the site. Think about it, if every 4th time you click you get a nasty surprise, it's going to cause less clicks.

Please get rid of this BS!

Happened to me twice trying that avenue. The fact that it was almost immediately ripped down with zero commentary and no PM about it is what pissed me off. The admin is making a concerted effort to hide it.
