[QUOTE="shinysmooth, post: 28017, member: 1444"] I agree with you it was excessive and problematic. I spent a lot of time the last couple days fixing the ads. I found out over the years of not checking on it they slowly got more aggressive over time as I gave them permission to adjust advertising automatically. I tested the new ads will show in a sensible way on desktop and mobile and have tried to keep it limited to 3 ads per page max. I killed the annoying full page or scrolling ads. I am considering windpantsguy suggestion of taking donations to cover costs but I'm not looking to make that a priority right now. I never fault anyone for using an ad blocker but at this point I think ads are reasonable and won't be disruptive now so allowing ads on the site would be appreciated. Also added to OP but here are some other updates- [HEADING=2][COLOR=rgb(209, 72, 65)]Updates 11-13[/COLOR][/HEADING] Coming soon- [LIST] [*]Going through and sending notices for people to update their username if they are NSFW [*]Reviewing and removing NSFW profile pictures with a notice to users why it was removed and how to upload a new one [*]A bug caused deleted accounts not to clear their profile pictures so they will all be removed [*]disabling the privacy setting that makes it so staff cannot view member profiles or send private conversations [*]merging duplicate accounts where there is undeniable evidence they were created by the same person at the end of the month [*]Recompressing videos already on the site to free up member storage space [/LIST] Done- [LIST] [*]Ads have been completely redone from scratch. If you would disable your ad blocker on this site it helps support it. [*]videos are now processed about 5 times faster than before with better compression so they use less storage space on your account [*]about 5000 gallery posts have had their titles, descriptions, and tags updated so far [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
