wait, you're seeing ads BETWEEN posts? Not just on top/bottom/side?

I see what you mean about bigger ad on bottom...they might be running another "experiment" that I can turn off.

The ones that I hate are the ones that pop up when I click to open a thread... they take up the entire screen to the point the X can't be seen... many time have to hit back button and click again an hope it doesn't show again 90% for the time it works. But yeah they are really pushing the envelope on size.

OK, I turned the experiment off

There should not be any ads between posts going forward (give it about 30 min to take effect)

The full page vignette ads should not be taking up the page to the point where the "X" can't be seen. That's odd.

I've never seen that happen on my end.

Those have always been there as part of the full screen ads that have been in place for many months now.

Sorry man...I'm still losing money

I could just shut everything down...I mean...is that what you want?

I'm starting not to mind the notion...It will be sad for a few seconds I guess...lol

25 years is a pretty good run

If you’re losing money….i find that a problem.

You really shouldn’t be subsidizing this thing.

Some of you guys need to hit the PayPal link more often

losing money on this website? yup

I'm sure it's my fault...although...ad revenue from Google was so much better before Trump came along...I can't help but think...nah...but wait...yeah...they would do that...

Whatever...I'm looking into downgrading servers at my host...now that I've gotten rid of a lot of those bots, I probably don't need so much server horsepower...

I am way overpaying for my hosting...tough not to lose money on a month-to-month basis.
