Anyone else suddenly getting loads of ads on the Caf?

I just clicked to open a thread and got a pop up ad before opening, then another appeared at the top of the screen.

Aren’t ads meant to be removed for people over 20k posts?

Ads are removed for those between 20k and 99k posts. Try deleting 7k of your older posts.

It’s dreadful. I’ve got grotty boxers at the top and bottom of my screen and pop up ads when I click on something.

On my smartphone (mozilla browser), only. I m also on a Pawn stars marathon the last day, and I only see ads for places to sell gold. I dont even have gold, so they are not only irritating but useless too.

Yeah my browser just started getting hammered with them on each page. I got that pop up first as well and then it loaded the page. Looks like somethings just been activated. Already become annoying.

Whaaaaaaaat!?! That sounds like way too much hard work. Punishing the old-timers. Why I oughta…
Well it costs to have all the utter tripe that has been written on here stored.

With the rising energy costs I don't blame Niall.

I have lingeries being shown to me from this new ad on the top. Very annoying placement.

As someone who's run a forum before, it doesn't actually cost that much.

You're in the ad-free usergroup. Maybe Niall set some ads up that are outside of the ad free thingy.
