Punch up the site this morning and I have to agree to ads and cookies? Now the screen has 2" of blank space to the right [ I presume for ads which I had to agree to ]. |

Zitat von azqkr im Beitrag #1 I had the same experience, except now that I am typing a message I am seeing an ad (in German) for Xobor, whatever that is. If it keeps the forum going that is OK with me. I don't understand German anyway.

I have no problem with the site having ads or making those requests. They didn't try to sneak anything by the users. I am happy to accept ads for a site that costs me nothing in either money or work. |

Zitat von TriangleRider im Beitrag #4 No, they just changed the damned rules and forced you to accept them or get to frig off the site. That's fully a bunch of BS |

I have the same, a bar at the side that might have ads if I was not using ublocker

Zitat von azqkr im Beitrag #5Zitat von TriangleRider im Beitrag #4 LOL. You and I have different views of what BS is and what one should expect others to provide to them for free. |

Zitat von azqkr im Beitrag #1 Just had the same experience myself. Since I am looking at this on my managed work computer the ads were blocked by network policy, so I get so see a broken link instead of the ad ...

Zitat von TriangleRider im Beitrag #7Zitat von azqkr im Beitrag #5Zitat von TriangleRider im Beitrag #4 I am member of at least 10 gun forums, and at least 5 motor sites that don't demand I accept cookies or ads to continue to use their sites. Those are have always been free and continue to remain free for members to peruse and post. This is quite a bunch of BS to change the rules for any reason. |

Zitat von azqkr im Beitrag #9Zitat von TriangleRider im Beitrag #7Zitat von azqkr im Beitrag #5Zitat von TriangleRider im Beitrag #4 You are very welcome to contact Holger and offer to take over financial responsibilities for the forum and then pay the additional subscription needed to have an ad free experience. If not, you have 2 choices, leave the forum or accept the new T&Cs. If you choose the latter, please stop with the whining.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #3 Like others have mentioned I don't see ads when viewing posts. Just the space on the right side and a big gap between post #9 and #10. When I click on reply I see the one ad on the right side of the page.

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #10Zitat von azqkr im Beitrag #9Zitat von TriangleRider im Beitrag #7Zitat von azqkr im Beitrag #5Zitat von TriangleRider im Beitrag #4 Whining huh? How about the admin give members a heads up the rules changed to continue to use the site. As it was, I had to accept that BS just to post my disdain for the changes. Sounds like the mods didn't even get a heads up, what admin doesn't inform their moderators who could then post the upcoming changes. Have the administrator contact me at my listed email addy supplied when I joined. We should have been given a heads up by someone things were going to change here, not be forced to accept the BS changes just to post the disdain for the changes [ all without ANY notification from mods or the admin. And with Ublock, I won't see the ads anyway, just a reduced page width. So admin really didn't accomplish diddly squat forcing ads on members. I resent the fact you believe my protest of not being informed of changes, having to accept them to even post my thoughts on the changes is whining. Whining: the making of a long, high-pitched cry or sound. My post was neither long nor capable of being discerned if there was a high pitched cry or sound. As a moderator, you have access to the admin [ supposedly ]. Why don't you moderate my concerns to the admin and have THEM reach out to me. I'd be happy to take an email from them to discuss the BS changes without ANY notification. The mind is the limiting factor |

Zitat von azqkr im Beitrag #12 Nobody forced you to accept anything. You could have just walked away. Personally, I'm still getting at least as much as pay for.
