Gold Canyon Kid #43974 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Must be some kind of single action for old farts. I am afraid of opening any ads I see on internet-too many viruses, STDs or worse. Also if my wife sees me with such a page open she might exit stage right after 45 years. I have now discovered something I like even worse than the color scheme of the new SASS Wire. EOT and the Convention must be a real financial drag on the Wild Bunch to entertain ads like this. I thought commercial ads were not allowed on the SASS Wire and now the Moderators are looking the other way?? Does that mean we can all make commercial ads on the SASS Wire?

Marshal Phil DeGrave SASS #55202 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Does that mean we can all make commercial ads on the SASS Wire? Yep, as long as you are "PAYING" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Dave Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 SASS owns the forum, only commercial ads allowed are ones that make SASS money. I sure don't like the amount if singles and dating ads scrolling by up there either, but it's not my call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Woodrow Cahill, SASS # 54363 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 The only ad that shows up on my screen is one for some solar energy charity. My idea of solar energy is sitting on the porch watching the sun set while enoying a cigar and a glass of sippin' whiskey. If the rest of y'all are getting ads for wiggle-and-giggle sites, well that's just shameful. Keep in mind, those Google ads tailor themselves to things they think you might be interested in. Maybe it's snooping around your search history and cookie folders and finding ... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJT Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I ain't whining about the adds. The Wire is better than ATT Uverse where they charge my for the service AND have adds on top of that. The Wire is still free! Very Best Regards, BJT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithy Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 My concentration is so much on the topics and then the posts that I rarely even notice the ads if at all. Only after reading a post like this one do I look up to notice anything in particular. Guess I'm lucky or have serious tunnel vision. Smithy.

Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 A lot of folks don't realize that IE 8 has a little known ad blocker. Just hit Control+Shift+F and select the block for me option. All of the ads on the forum disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klondike SASS Life #29713 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Thanks Okie, that is a neat trick. The ads were not really bothering me, but after seeing your "fix" I had to try it. That is something that most of us would not know. Now if I can just remember it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
