Ads by Google

Post by mk-soft »

Fat advertising windows in the forum all at once.
Everywhere between all the posts.
This doesn't have to be in a forum and is extremely nerdy.

One Ad-blocker helps ..

Sadly I don't think that'll work in Chrome forever, Google's apparently going to be blocking adblockers in Chrome quite soon. I use UBlockOrigin and Firefox ;)

The small advert below would also be ok and Fred can earn something from it. Every now and then there is also something interesting.
So if the problem with the big adverts is solved, you can switch off the adblock again.

Cool, I've learnt a new word, at first I thought you'd dropped your head on the keyboard, but "obnoxious" really does exist :shock:
