| | | Donation pop-up | Joined: Oct 2016 Posts: 55 journeyman | OP journeyman Joined: Oct 2016 Posts: 55 | When I got the 1st pop-up, I saw the donate page & thought, "Yeah, I'll throw 'em a coupla' bucks for putting up with me, or buy a sticker, or something," but the damn thing is so pushy, I've decided to turn off AdBlockPlus just long enough to make this post. I donate to other sites that have the donation banner where the ads would be & I'll keep this one on my favs to try & surf if it'll let me, but I don't really ever see myself turning it off again, so... That may not be a big deal to some, but I had real intentions of contributing here. Teaser pic:

the ads on the site aren't that bad/pushy and don't interfere with posting. they are what keep this site funded and allow me to do things like the virtual nats, broadcast the CofC, and when there's enough, I buy beer and hot dogs for everyone at the nats. 90 Astro - "The Grey Ghost" - Haulin Ass, Not kids.E-Z Vanners and West Vanners Council of Councils Board Member National Truck-in Board Support Team "No matter where you go, there you are."

Thanks for making this one of the best FREE websites out there. If more people donatedon a regular basis (me included), Astro wouldn't need ad revenue to keep the lights on. However, until he or one of us wins the lottery, quitcherbitchin and put up with the ads.

This is a great site and resource. I don't post much but have learned a great deal from the knowledge that exists here. I am no longer able to use the site at work because admin has ad block locked in, but it's a small price to pay for a great resource. | | | Re: Donation pop-up | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 2,847 Likes: 42 veteran | veteran Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 2,847 Likes: 42 | I have no issues disabling adblocker on this site, but I seem to have to do so on each page/thread I open whether I click do not run on this page, or don't run on this domain.
I open the page and have to quickly pause adblock before the notification comes up. Otherwise it turns into a curse fest, and several times I just quit trying.
Turning off adblocker completely makes my laptop so slow on some other sites I want to throw it in a blind rage and search out a sledgehamer.

I have much to share in the near future, and I will certainly join back in just as soon as I get a little more time. Thanks, Cotton | | | Re: Donation pop-up | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,750 Likes: 13 | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,750 Likes: 13 | I didn't get rid of the pop-up? 90 Astro - "The Grey Ghost" - Haulin Ass, Not kids.E-Z Vanners and West Vanners Council of Councils Board Member National Truck-in Board Support Team "No matter where you go, there you are."
