Try using the OS app or Tapatalk app on mobile/tablet.

Hey all. Was just wondering if there was any updates on these lower corner ads? Surely there's a better way to do the advertising to keep the lights on here? I've only recently started getting these on my laptop. There's a 5 second timer before the X appears so you can't even immediately close the things as soon as they pop up. It's every time you load a new page too.

I'm not a fan either, but they pay the bills to keep OS up and running. I realize many use blockers, etc. but if users want OS to stay alive, it's what needs to happen. Once we get the new forum software online, we might allow the supporters to disable ads. But we'll cross that path when the time comes.

Have MORE ads been.....well Added? I get one in 2 corners and than a banner on every page click. I understand you guys gotta get paid but its starting to be a bit much and slows down everything.

Ads pay the bills. Once ads don't pay the bills, OS won't be here any more. I get it, they suck. Once we get the new forums up, we'll be looking to have them removed for supporters.

These (relatively) new ads on mobile are complete garbage. Does anyone else get these ads that take up half the screen and do not go away even when you click the x button on them. Super scummy man, and I've been on this forum forever. Very unlike OS.

Alright so ads are getting worse and worse. Now I’m getting a giant final fantasy ad endwaler or whatever the hell it is banner at the top of my screen in every page I load here plus the ad I’ve posted earlier on the lower right corner.

I know, I know, ads pay the bills. But so do us supporters even though it pales in comparison. I hate to gripe but when it’s getting to the point that every click loads 2-3 ads where the screen jumps and we accidentally click ads, then we get to a point where the user experience suffers for us browsers just looking for OS content.
