I see what you are talking about[:'(]

I better not see an AD for Depends or "feminine hygiene products" in my post. [:@]

Very disappointing.....perhaps the beginning of the end for a lot of us...

RE: Why are there commercials within peoples post?
 

Seems funny they have the smarts to attach advertizing all over the place, but can't fix it so the forums open instead of locking up or being slower than mollassis.

RE: Why are there commercials within peoples post?
 

The first time I see one show up in one of my posts, I'll be my last post. I will guarentee you that. There's plenty of other sites out there!

RE: Why are there commercials within peoples post?
 

Never saw that in any forum before!

I don't know what you are talking about. Everything looks normal here.

This is very common on alot of other forums (non archery) I visit.

On occasion if you buy a " site supporter membership" (nominal fee per year) on those other forums you can turn off the ads. I don't like it either but I'm sure in order to keep costs low and the boards a viable service (especially in THIS economy) this will be more common. This software & the servers ain't cheap.

These kinds of posts crack me up- People complaining about a TOTALLY FREE SITE for you to use.

How much benefit have you got from this site?

How much equipment advice?

How much hunting advice?

Ever bought or sold any equipment here?

what about all the great people you may have met? or invited you to hunt?


Yeah..what a bunch of jerks...putting up some ads to keep this place free for us

RE: Why are there commercials within peoples post?
 

Why, what hunting sites do you know of that charge for membership?:eek:You can stay by yourself since you're such a happy camper.;)

RE: Why are there commercials within peoples post?
 

I plan on staying because of the people here and the knowledge.


Most other sites don't charge you are correct, they ALSO run ads- like AT.

RE: Why are there commercials within peoples post?
 

Hey Jeff, I don't mind advertisement. I do understand that it's how some of these sites stay in existance. I wasn't born yesterday.:DHowever, this site was getting by just fine with the advertising it was doing before (bottom of the page, ect) this in your facein your post advertising isa bit much!Do you not agree? People WILL get tired of it and move on, I can promise you that.[&o] And all of the folks on here are a bunch of great people, that's the tragedy of all of this.:(:( I've been on here forquite some time!

RE: Why are there commercials within peoples post?
 

I gotta Agree with you Jeff! Sure there are other options in forums, but I have No intention of leaving.

I for one appreciate this forum as well as theothers I visit. I've met a lot of fine guys through the forums and some I am sure will be friends for life.:D

How do you KNOW they were getting along just fine? Business-wise? Alot of businesses are in serious trouble these days- even previously wildly succesful ones.

Is it annoying? A bit, but not enoough for me to care. I rarely ever find such ads annoying unless it's stuff that blatantly unrelated to the subject at hand (the ads here are related to hunting). I vist other sites with similar advertisement and take little or no notice. a few sites I vist are full of "personal ads" "lose 20 pounds in 3 days" type of stuff and yup that's really annoying. But thats not the case here.

At any rate- people have to pay bills, and that bowhunter.com site is doing it with an online store- and plugging the bejeesus out of products they sell and ads at the top of the page. One way or another you are gonna get bombarded.

While I took a few years off, I was here long before my "join date" shows. I don't find this tragic at all. It's an internet site about hunting-mountains and molehills.

RE: Why are there commercials within peoples post?
 

Not sure how it works here but a lot of websites make their money by collecting each time someone clicks on an ad.....I am assuming the same here.

By the way.............I don't like it either.

RE: Why are there commercials within peoples post?
 

Apparently the site hasn't been slow and clunky enough so they need to make it worse. I'm out'ta here.

Apparently the site hasn't been slow and clunky enough so they need to make it worse. I'm out'ta here. Think I'll go over to Ralph and Vicki's place (Archer's Choice).

RE: Why are there commercials within peoples post?
 

Sure it is a free site, they can do as they please.

I can say that there are 100s of these free sites online though, and I will likely spend more and more time on those that are less annoying to surf. The ads are one thing, but the nonstop problem with loading pages is beyond annoying.

Alot of cool guys here, I don't plan on leaving forever....but if it keeps up at the rate it is going, my time can easily be spent elsewhere.

RE: Why are there commercials within peoples post?
 

I don't care for it, that's for sure.

RE: Why are there commercials within peoples post?
 

I dont have a problem with all of the adds, but it really pisses me off when I have to hit refresh everytime I want to open a page.

RE: Why are there commercials within peoples post?
 

It's a damn shame that the new ownership is resulting in a sight that looks more like a SPAMBOARDthan the nice hunting forum it used to be. Traffic is WAY down, lots of the regulars are rarely here, and this ain't just the seasonal lull, they ARE elsewhere.

RE: Why are there commercials within peoples post?
 

Simply stop posting. Log Off. Become a lurker and don't log in or post anything until it stops.
