Came to this forum because of Merlin and the community support. Been reading all the different topics for 6-7 years now and the support and information is great. Decided to register about 5 years ago. I don’t post much but generally enjoy reading all the different discussions and topics, as well as updates on the firmware.

That comes to an end today.

This forum has become unusable recently because of all the ads. On mobile you can’t even get to the next page button. It’s absolutely disgusting.
I get that support and maintenance is not free. And I’m okay with some banners and ads, but how they started to populate the entire screen now makes it completely impossible to use.

All the best to the great people here. I’m signing out.
 
Much less dramatic than reporting the obtrusive ad to Tim.

Even if I didn’t actively use an adblocker on this site, iOS Safari and Firefox privacy protections still hide most, if not all, of the ads on this site. Just to say I find it hard to ever see the ads on this site with the browsers I use.

You don't post much but you decided to post that you're leaving?
 
Adds? What Adds? Ever hear of add blockers?

Lol for real this is not an airport announcement of your departure isn't needed. And next time just report the ad to tim.
 
I understand why we have ads. I used to allow ads to support the site, but they got too many. Currently the forum is really ugly with no ad-blocker. When the ads impact functionality the users just start blocking them. Not sure if more ads blocked is actually better than fewer allowed. Not complaining, I have my solution. Don't like it, but become necessary in last year or so.

This is what parts of this very same thread look like on an iPhone with no ad-blocking:

There is no single message visible. Ads only back to back... 🤷‍♂️
