More ads or is it just me?

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure about anyone else but I'm seeing a ton of new non-NJGF related ads now on this site and I have to close them out in order to see the actual forum.  

Is this some setting that's from my phone or is this something that NJGF subscribed to for revenue?

I mostly use my iPad to view these forums. I have been meaning to post the same question. In recent few months I have experienced the same.  Often when i click on a thread topic, after a delay either a popup or, more annoyingly, a full screen ad appears, and I have to either close it or hit the Safari back arrow.  I have been meaning to troubleshoot this further but have been tied up with work.

On my home LAN I'm using a pihole, blocks like 99% of web page ads and trackers on every device that connects to my LAN/WiFi.  Makes a HUUUUUUGE difference for browsing speed and being able to read articles

So its now 2023 and the ads are getting so annoying now and from what I recall its so blatant. Does it matter if you are a free member versus a premiere member? The crap pops up everywhere. jumping from forum topic to another or even while posting. I don't mind the side bar of ads but when it pops up before i can get to the forum topics and i have to cancel it i find it very disruptive. 

Any ideas to keep that stuff suppressed or any settings to address it on our side? Is anyone using some 3rd party app like the youtube popup ad blockers? Any suggestions?

I only see them on mobile....on my laptop, my ad blocker stops them.

I can only speak for myself but as a premier member, I never saw a popup ad on this site!

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
