Honestly, I can't see it generating a ton of revenue. Forums are traditionally not a great place to run ads -- too many views from too few unique users, and very few people actually click on the ads.  

Indeed - and some of these ads behave badly. You hear reports of some ads doing bit-coin mining in the background on your machine.

You can always install an ad blocker extension I guess.

Tons of adds periodically appear on top of posts, Firefox/Linux. Not consistent, re-opening the thread removed them.

PS. what people expect from "free" forum for "free" product?  Have you never played in F2P games? 😎

Windows Phone (yes I still use one)

 

You too!!! I still have my Lumia 950XL. But I went ahead and ordered a Galaxy S10 for me and the wife. Her's has shipped and will be here in few days. Mine may take a day or two longer.

 

Back to topic: I am on my Surface that uses a cell phone hotspot and I see ads. I see them everywhere. And they scare me.

 

(I hate ** ads)

Ads all over posts now. W10 desktop.  That'll kill this place for me.

I'm getting the same thing, James. I suspect it's a configuration problem with the site and the ad tags. For me, the obscuring ads are related to folks' signature. If you close their signature, it clears the banner away. At least, it did for me.
