Adverts, adverts everywhere...

Hi! Welcome to the Feedback forum.
Before reading anything or asking anything; please check out the FAQs. Your question might be in there. However if you want a better understanding after reading the FAQs, like if it didn't explain it good enough, then by all means ask your question.

Please read the following before posting in this forum...

In this forum you will see an Announcement, and several "sticky" topics. The announcement is the Universal Board Rules. If you are new, read this before doing anything else! The sticky topics will stay above and separated from normal user-made topics in the forum. This is because they outline important information about the board. If you see a sticky topic concerning your issue, please reply with your question or concern in the correct topic. Moderators will see your reply within these topics. Before asking your question, be sure to read the topic and its first page especially. It contains information about your issue that is valuable and may even answer your questions. If the topic does not answer your question, ask your question within the topic, not the forum. If no sticky topic concerns your issue, then you are welcome to ask your own questions by creating a new topic within the forum.

Thank you for keeping the Board Help forum organized!

I'm not sure if this is just me who's been seeing these, but adverts seem to be appearing up all over the forum =P The home page, pop-ups, I've even seen links to adverts from random words in posts :curious: Just thought I'd mention this since its been going on for a little while, and I wasn't sure if Moka knew about it

The random words in posts are from advertisers who post to advertise as far as I know, best report them.
Other than that, well I don't see any adverts on here tbh with you but I know people HAVE seen them. Still, just because someone wants you to buy their used crotchitizer, doesn't mean you should.... Hmm an obscure Ratchet reference that no one will get, way to go, self!

What I am saying is... Ignore them lol

Refresh the page and the ad will position itself under the left navigation bar. But still, the ad is very annoying, and Moka did say that he will never run ads on MLK if he can help it.

I guess Moka's having trouble paying for MLK.

If only they were advertising cheaper website hosts and servers.

That's probably what it is.

I do wonder if this has any relation to the increased amount of spambots, though.

I got it. Ratchet and Clank ftw.

The ads are only on the mainsite for now. I'm not sure what pop ups you're talking about, I've only added the harmless Google text links. Yes, I mentioned I wouldn't run ads, but that was back on my previous host where they didn't charge for additional hard drive usage. I've been finding myself having to add additional space for a fee. And it adds up.. especially since I'm hardly working now due to more classwork.

When I get a full-time job, I will remove the ads.

Ah well, I'm sure we can all handle adverts for a while :P as for the pop-ups, these random questionnaire-thingies appear telling me to complete the quiz for a chance to win an iPhone or whatever xD
