Ads on the Dope . . . slippery slope?

It started out with one little google-blurb at the bottom of the page . . . and now there’s one above the masthead and another between the OP and the second post and a bunch more at the bottom . . . Next thing you know we’ll be living in the Minority Report world! :mad:

I think all Guests see that.

Dude, those have been there for a long time.

All that shit was what prompted me to download ABP.

:confused: It says “Guest” under my username. I just now noticed that. I’ve been a member for years! What’s up with that?! I didn’t get any e-mail telling me to renew.

Pay up, bro.

I don’t think they send the emails anymore. The ads really aren’t that bad.

I got one. But I think a lot of them end up getting blocked by peoples’ spam filters.

I was going to ask “where have you been?” or possibly question your powers of observation, but I see that you have recently been demoted. Welcome to the ad fueled slum-land of former paying members! My condolences if you lost your charter status.

What are these ads you speak of???
:confused::D:cool:

There’s ads on the Dope? Adblock Plus and Noscript on my Mozilla Firefox seem to think differently. :smiley:

What does NoScript do that Adblock doesn’t?

This belongs in About This Message Board. I’ll move it there for you.

You know this is a business, right, guys?

That the Dope’s parent company, like so many others in these parlous times, is struggling to stay alive and offer you this site?

You don’t have to be a subscriber to be here. But there’s limits to hospitality and this is bordering on outright rudeness.
