the ads.


Apart from being completely irrelevant, they are huge, almost impossible to scroll past without clicking, really annoying, really spoils the site user experience (imo). I don't want to use an adblocker, but will have to eventually as it is really getting on my tits now.

User experience is always subjective, and of course, I disagree otherwise they'd have been pulled by now.

We need adverts. Most of our traffic is now on a device, and unfortunately, I'm bent over a barrel with regards to mobile, because the old style we had have been fazed out - as I explained in the supporter lounge.

I've explored a few options, opting for the current - as most others have. Rationale - it's one ad per page, no bigger than a typical post so easy to bypass. Others include going for a smaller advert that is permanently on the screen (Example, click on mobile)

If we secure a sponsor who seek awareness/exposure via other means, we will adjust. I'm also awaiting a response on whether or not we can exclude adverts from certain uaergroups (forum supporters) that don't violate terms of ads.

If you use adblocker on mobile, functionality will be effected which we won't be able to support as the script also impacts other functionality.

If you're really interested, Google how they work pal.

Ultimately, if I have a business that sells pens - I can setup an advert and specifically target.outbid everyone to advertise on GrandOldTeam (or, football forums), should I think they're a good audience to buy, pens.

That's what Twitter will have done. When possible, they match a publisher dependent on your browsing history, but when not possible (or outbid), you get something random.

On my desktop everything is fine. On my mobile, for some reason, its telling me to go to a site called Filipino Cupid. Now, no offense to the Filipino's on this board and ladyboi's everywhere(and i know its bit of an oxymoron being here and all), but its not exactly an area Ive been searching there. I mean, its constant. At least 50% of my day says that.

The ads are massive on my phone like, but I mostly use my desktop so it aint no ting really for me, suppose if I only used my phone it would pee me off like.

It is what it is tho, money makes the site go round.
