Annoying as fuck. Full width banner ad which slides up from the bottom of the screen after the pages have loaded meaning I can't see the bottom 1/5th of the screen unless I click to hide it. In lite mode.

Also inexplicably advertising womens underwear which gives a lie to how smart targetted advertising algorithms are.

Thought I'd post it up here as sometimes ads get put on without Korn knowing when the database software updates. I've not known the site to have popover/popup ads before, only banners.

Yep, I've been getting those. I was going to switch to the ad-free lite skin but that seems to have disappeared too.

Doesn't look like you can any more, the lite mode seems to have disappeared.

After wearing them, they'll be sold for profit

That's fine when you want to fuck over big corporations but how would you like this particular forum to be funded?

Let me just get down from my high horse and tell you how I switch off ad-blocking for enthusiast forums Laughing

It's now reaching the point where these sliding adverts are just fucking annoying and intrusive.

I've always kept the site on the exemption list on my adblocker as the ads apparently help pay for things, and don't really mind the unintrusive and sometimes amusing ad banners at the top and bottom of the page but seriously?

Agree - no issue with 'normal' ads but this bottom slider is a proper little fucker.

You have to pay a monthly Sub to Korn and Stinkers to earn your Guilded Globes.
It's a similar Ponzi Scheme to what Catholics do.

Fuck the ads...

The forum runs faster and smoother than it ever did (even in the B&W days).

If you struggle with fast and smooth then you're welcome to find a spot in Visordown. Laughing

What's particularly annoying is it's the usually same advert as the top or bottom banner anyway.
