Reply to "Advertising Taking Over the Forum?"

The "event" occurred about a day ago. There were a fair amount of announcements consisting of 3-4 subject lines crowding out regular subjects it the recent posts sidebar. IMO, it began to feel like those multiple ambulance chaser commercials on TV.
I know the advertisers here pay the freight, but it was getting a little out of hand.

I find it to be the "usual suspects", it equates to click bait you find anywhere on the internet. There only a very few advertisers that do this.

I stopped reading the adds when I realized the "sales " really weren't sales at all. Usually just items discounted after being marked up.

I purchase from other vendors that don't play games or post panic adds and get better deals.

Whatever, as long as the OGR Forum continues to be "popup free" I can easily scroll past things I'm not interested in.
