Ole3putt Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 7 hours ago, CoachT said: Update: we have turned off all ads from certain companies. To give you an idea how this works: we contracted with a well-known, longtime internet company to run their surplus ads. They in turn run ads for third parties. When you get a bad ad it then becomes very hard to track it down because it comes from a company you are not familiar with but served through a company you know. Why not turn them all off? Because then we would no longer be able to afford to run this site and everyone would suffer. Just know that iamoz is doing everything he can to track these down and inform everyone involved where these bad ads are coming from. Tks CoachT. It is what it is. 2nd day I’ve had no issues prior to logging on. Appreciate you all for keeping up the site. Tks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachT Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Now we are back to being told that "we think we have all of the bad actors eliminated so we are turning back on the mobile ads" but please let us know if you see any of them. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachT Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 If our next effort doesn't then we will have to turn off ads from two of our advertisers, after being assured that the problem was solved. Let us kno wif you get more invasive pop-ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachT Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 iamoz is spending the day showing these ad companies where all of their malicious ads are...including AOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us kno wif you get more invasive pop-ups. This is the first time I have been on today. Immediately I got a pop up. I shut it down and got back on. It happened again. Shut it down again and got back on and this time it allowed me to proceed. But I don't know that I would call these "pop up" ads. The are more like redirect. They redirect you to another site. But thanks for letting us know you are working on it coach. Many blessings!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachT Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I know. I wish at times that I could make the boards CoachT Plus only so we could generate enough revenue that we could turn off ALL of the ads. But, people would complain so much I don't think I could stand it...for $2 a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
