Noticed the ads a few days ago. Which are all video ads as well. It's like the video of the guy is an ad itself... Just not selling anything. Same with the piano player. It's defiantly a video from inside Dinney World but looks like something someone took on their phone and of course no ads or sales line...

I'm sure most will not agree with me but I would be willing to pay a small fee to JD for an ad free experience it that's what it takes. How much I don't know but it's really getting annoying. Yes, I have pop up blockers but they are not 100% effective against them on this site for some reason. The guy eating has to go and the fact that he's still there is mind boggling to me.

I think you are missing my point. I know ads pay for it. Like youtube, if you want to skip the ads you pay a monthly fee and you don't get the ads. I would be willing to consider that depending on what the cost would be. Doesn't have to be one way or another. Someone doesn't want to pay, so be it. deal with the ads and creapy guy eating all day. up to you. I'm suggesting give us a choice.
You are missing my point the advertisers pay for exposure why would they pay JD to be blocked by the site??? I understand the service you want to pay for but it’s counter productive to the reasons advertisers come here in the first place. Somethings aren’t for sale. Suggest you invest in ad blocker software. Sure the moron blocking entrance to the site is a pita but he would be gone if it was doable.
Yes. Close out come in cold the moron will be there. If you don’t close out he’s gone.

Well...advertisers don't run the site. Advertisers pay so the companies who run the site can do it profitably. All I'm suggesting is if other sites can give you ad free options...and there are many...maybe this site could do the same. That's all I'm suggesting. Not wanting to get into a debate about WHY there are ads and pop ups. I know why they are there.
I have every antivirus, ad blocker app I'm willing to have or need. Dont want more crap on my PC and by the way this is the ONLY site that I have these issues with. I can't be the only one either.

I have yet to see what yawl are talking about.
Small regional following no big bucks here soon will go to sleep until Fall budget is shoestring and why spam can penetrate. That’s my take

I belong to one site that gives the option of paying for no adds. It is $6 a year and well worth it. DOn't pay and you see adds. We pay via paypal which will probably set some people off but you can't please everyone.

even better. Wouldn't cost us a lot then.Small regional following no big bucks here soon will go to sleep until Fall budget is shoestring and why spam can penetrate. That’s my take
Probably expensive to administrate pay techs to install and maintain is my instinct. Can’t even keep spam out but this is what Is possible for something this size and cost

You're not. It is disturbing & quite frankly I don't understand why the creepshow continues. If it were an actual ad on the site, it certainly wouldn't be at the head of the discussion board claiming to be a "live discussion" of the site. It needs to go away, asap. This is clearly in a place it does not belong. I don't want to see this keeping members or visitors to this site away. It is obviously suspicious & it needs to go away, it's outright unsettling.
