Ad density on FABO
I mean no disrespect when saying this, as I consider myself a mid grade hot rodder. I went gold maybe two hours of looking at site. I am surprised at the number of veteran members on here that aren't gold. I understand if you are a member of multiple sites, but if you are an Abody owner and I see you on here all the f'n time......why wouldn't you be gold? I have sponsored a few just because I believe they really add to the sites vibe and their membership expired or i was feeling the christmas love or whatever. Like I said, no harm meant....just not sure why anyone would put up with the ads and not just support their own habit.
Agree.
That's why I stated I'm not complaining, and the only reason I even mentioned my own experience is because it sounded like what I see isn't what's expected by Joey.
I'm using Chrome on desktop and mobile. Mobile is by far the worst.
I hate Firefox. I used them for a long time but gave up when they tried to stall implementing new web standards and I had more issues with sites being specifically not compatible with it than any other browser.
Edge is a nightmare. Chrome is a deal with the devil, but is the standard and so I use it to avoid all the same garbage I had with Firefox.
If a change of browser changes the site, it's not the browser making the difference but the ad blocker that comes with it or is part of a particular install. Those blockers also often mistake legit content as ads, which is why I gave up on them too. I'd rather the revenue make it to the site than have to toggle the blocker on and off every time I'm expecting a popup window that's part of some normal function, of having to deal with strange layout issues because certain frames are being blocked, or blocking photos because it thinks they're ads.
Overall, I think the site works well. I dislike the ads between posts the most, but they're not THAT bad that it would change my use of the site.
Go cruise some other sites that use keyword ads, have full ad bars on both the left and right margin, and have ads within EVERY signature line, and between every post, and windowed ones that pop up every 1-2 mins and also floating ads that you cannot close (closing one opens another). FABO is probably one of the least intrusive that isn't selling merchandise as their primary reason for existing.
