Yup. Sad, isn't it?
Maybe SWF could have a thing where it costs to post ads? If you want to do business on the site, you have to pay the host? lol There are several places that do that to generate extra income.
Pay per ad, pay for a premium membership to buy and sell... exclude vendors, but encourage hobbyists???? Buy at your own risk?
I don't know. I just think it's a little unfair, but whatever.
I'm not going to make a whole big fuss about it either. It's the owner's decision, but I just think that it essentially drove away a lot of people from the site and the forums.
Anyways, my 0.02.

We would really appreciate all the details you can offer. It is something that is very important that we get rid of. Screen Shots, Company names, date, how often. We would be very appreciative!!!

I see them all the time too. Every other time I log in, there is usually an ad for another fish place. I'd be happy to provide a screenshot once I see one and have time.

BENDER.....download a free program called simple adblock
works great
Sorry to say, this program is not so great anymore. The new version has a price tag to it or you can use the free version with only a few instances of blocking. So, unless you have the older version, then, you basically out of luck wo paying.

Sometimes it takes forever for my screen to load because the ads have to download. It is pretty annoying.

The ads always seem to go with the topic or subject of the thread i noticed... id do a thread about cameras or taking pics and ads up in the right hand corner would be for cameras!
Doesent make sense to me about having a competitors add on ur site but its non of my business.
Im sure theyre are non stop working against the pop ups !

LOL I do not use google or dating sites
I get alot of those too but also get new car sales and many many other ads. I posted in the shark tank a couple days ago on the ads as well.
At least the Video ads are gone now they were the worst I have not seen one of those in a few days now.
