Default Change name to Pop Up RC

Maybe this site should now be called -- Pop Up RC

More ad's here now then space to read -------- oh well lots of other sites that aren't filled with garbage advertising Seems powers to be are more interested in MONEY then what or how their site performs.

Have fun - pretty much kills this site for me. No sense visiting when you have sort through garbage ads to find the little spot now that is actually the FORUM ..

Also explains why sites like Jims are growing (no ads or pop up crap) and this site gets less and less every month.

Ok done ranting - back to real RC boat sites

Cannot say I have seen a pop up ad here Randy. I run a popup blocker which may be doing the trick (installed for other sites I have used over the years). Honestly never knew there was a problem with it. Might be worth checking out the popup blocker (even if just for use on other real RC boat sites!)

Most other sires don't have the "poop"'ups taking up the entire right half of the screen, relegating the actual forum content to a along, narrow column taking up what's left!!

Something has happened in here in the past few days where there are pop-up's everywhere! It looks like Internet Brands need mo money.

Admin has tech support looking into recent issues of ads. Believe it may not be planned activity.

Well maybe some of the guys playing RC need to reach out for sponsorship from these companies and put model boating on the map. Times change. these sites are replacing tv ect. do not expect it to not go through some things that we do not like. I hope all these ad's are in fact paying some kind of cut to the guys responsible for us to have a free forum to use. Any money nade as a result of our hobby helps are hobby.

It's Ad Choices, the same annoying outfit that's a PITA wherever you go.
