I don't remember spam pop-up ads being this bad here years ago when I was on here last. I don't give a damn about dating sites, Kaley Couco's unbelievable bikini photos, having my non-existing hybrid car battery replaced, buying a Jeep, building muscle mass, etc. WTF is going on here?! Half the time I have to reboot the page to see what I'm trying to read! :wtf2:

I use an AdBlocker so I'm not bothered by pesky popups.

I've been using Google Chrome, but might try opening in Brave and see if it's better.

Ad block plus works great for me on PC, but mobile is a no go at this point. I guess I need to look for an ad blocker for mobile chrome too.

Back in the day it was never that bad. Now the site is not navigable without an adblocker of some kind. Once installed everything seems fine.
