OS Has Gotten Outta Control with the Ads

[tdogg097]

Look I understand you need revenue to keep the lights on but this website is outta control. Ads at the top and bottom plus a scrolling ad. There are so many ads that navigating the website can be a challenge. This website used to be a great resource for sports games, now it's more annoying than anything else.

I have to agree.

Imthinkmthe most annoying part of it is when the ad pops up while typing content, and it makes you stop entering content. I've had this happen on numerous occasions whyle posting on the forums.

Also, in the last couple days, the site has been extremely slow to load, if it loads at all.

If there are no ads, there is no OS. Unless you want them to charge us money.

I don’t have a problem with the ads per se, just the way they are optimized. But OS is the only website that crashes on my phone constantly (safari). It’s because of the flash ads. I can use the forums just fine, but I can’t read an article more than 30 seconds without my safari app crashing

At this point I would seriously consider paying a reasonable subscription price to get an ad-free or even simply reduced ad experience. There are enough that the performance of the main site and forums is hampered even on a laptop.

I don't like to admit it, because I love the site and enjoy the forums, but it really is overwhelming.

Scroll to bottom, look on the left. I believe it's set to OS 4.0, put it on OS 2.0... no ads.

Ads don't bother me, I'm used to the prevalence of them everywhere else that I subconsciously tune them out. The extra recent traffic is majorly slowing me waay down tho and absolutely grinding my gears.
