This is so bad it doesn’t seem like just the usual type of ad. More like some malware on the server. On my ipad, it covers a third of the screen just reading, but when posting, it almost completely covers the text box. Might want to address this before people start getting really freaked out and start thinking there are privacy issues at stake somehow.

It's really a royal pain in the ass!

As much as I love coming here and would try to support SimHQ,it's an ad-blocker all the way for me on every site I visit.
Maybe consider a donation link although I'm sure this has been discussed before.

On my ipad I had to switch to firefox. It seems to take care of it since the ads on chrome were taking up the bulk of the screen, making reading much less posting impossible.

In the last couple of days infolinks seem to have stepped up the annoyance level 10 fold.
As well as the oversized add bar at the bottom of every post now sometimes when I click on a post I get a full page add instead of the post and have to click back and try again.
I would be fine with a donation system here if it would help to get rid of this BS. I already donate at The Sim-Outhouse so throwing SimHQ a few quid every year too is cool with me.

Just chiming in here as well to complain about how obnoxious the ads are here in the forums. I don't bother anymore with trying to browse the site on my phone. Hell, I barely browse here at all any more due to them. Even on my 43" monitor they are annoying.

Is anyone actually actively running the site anymore?
. It doesn't seem like it. I haven't seen a post from the owner in over 2 years.

The site is registered until November 4, 2021. Presumably somebody just renewed it last week. These ads are annoying AF. Since there is no content on the front page to get click throughs, I guess he's forced to put all the advertising on the forums. If you feel motivated to look up the internet registry at the following site, you can find out a PO Box number, if you want to send him snail mail. https://lookup.icann.org/lookupHe does pay for the Teamspeak server and the ARMA server, so anybody that's used the Teamspeak should appreciate that, while wading through the ads. Ironically, in the "About Us" page, there is no mention of the site owner. Still lists guod as the owner.
