Amicus717 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

HIBI Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Some ads are overlapping to the posts. So I can't read them. Edited March 8, 2019 by HIBI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azslow3 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 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? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckebaby Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 lets be perfectly real though, if this is what it takes to keep Cakewalk going, than im not opposed to it. I don't particularly like it, but it beats paying 300 bucks for sonar every new version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was against forum rules to put ads in your posts. @Cactus Music should be admonished for this... Or paid. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James G Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Ads all over posts now. W10 desktop. That'll kill this place for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Loads of ads, but nothing intrusive using Google Chrome on Android. Nothing using Firefox on Windows 10. Ad free! Under browser privacy options in Firefox. I have been using the custom setting to block trackers in all windows. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/content-blocking Edited March 8, 2019 by abacab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited March 8, 2019 by Amicus717 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James G Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Getting them even in my user profile page. Bye.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline_UK Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) I'm still seeing no ads here. I'm using a laptop and desktop with both Firefox and MSEdge. Odd. Edited March 8, 2019 by Skyline_UK Typo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
