That stupid ford ad pops down any time my mouse gets within 20 sq miles of it. I used to use an ad blocker but since updated my firefox and it's gone. I guess I'll have to install a new version of it so IB will stop screwing up this forum

Yeah all the ads they're subjecting us to is pretty ridiculous.

Now there is a BMW ad up there and Tivo ad down at the bottom. Albeit these ads don't pop out like the Ford ad, why would anyone advertise BMW or Tivo on a truck enthusiast forum? What ever happened to the ads for Superchips (lol), or HPTuners? At least make them relevant if you're going to put them on here. I'd bet 99.999% of all the traffic on this website has zero interest in clicking these ads.

while I hate them as well...hate, they are google ads so when they can, they will fill with what you are "googling". Not all the time, but I searched some software/apps and my ads on here for like a month was Corel.

LOL yup Google Adds, so it shows what you have been searching the most.

So we have some GM owners secretly searching Fords?????


Maybe I have missed it but on some forums you can become a premium member if you pay a few bucks and it blocks a lot of the adds when you do that. Is that an option here?
