Default Ah Well

It was only a matter of time before Scoobynet was taken over by adverts. I guess that time has arrived.

What an eyesore.

Not really a problem though is it?

Only if those stupid pop-up start happening, like on every other site will it get annoying

hmm, I am using adblock plus as something I read said that adblock was discontinued. At any road, I cannot find the download but not show option in ABP.

It's not the end of the world ffs. The ads help pay the bills to keep SN up and running - it's been explained several times before. Flip it on its head - no ads, no board, no fun.

Besides, what happened to the "pay x amount and get no ads" membership that was being talked about 3 months ago or so when more ads were added.

Read the feckin thread that I posted the link to...it's all explained in nice easy words that even you will understand

Save you the bother

We are looking at introducing a feature for paying members to be able to switch these banners off, should they wish. Although I would strongly advise people to keep them in view.

Also....

lol

Yeah, so we've all been told.

However the suspect failure of Shaun and Simon to lodge Scoobynet accounts which would enable us all to see just what the real position is would suggest otherwise

But then, I'm a natural cynic
