I'm having trouble keeping my mind on fishing with all this advertising on the website now.  ;)

I don't see much, just the banner at the top of the thread. Running a forum costs money, advertising helps offset that.

I thought that this website actually has a refreshingly small amount of advertising.

And strange thing to comment about on a free forum/website.

i dont see any ads but i use Chrome web browser and have the AdBlock app that gets rid of any adds/banners. but when i didnt have it, ads were very few and usually the same old banner ones if i remember correctly. Could be a computer thing, once you get adware on your computer EVERY website if full of ads.

Nothing but the usual banner at the top here and it doesn't get in the way of the forum at all in my opinion.

I also have the chrome ad blocker, just not enabled on this site.

it doesn't hurt to click on those ads once in a while either. i get a lot from this site/Rod, i can give a little back.

Explanation ,I have some adds on mine on the forum main page and one of them is for some lingerie company and it shows 2 girls wearing skin coloured push up bras.Anyway any time I open the forum page I see this and it diverts my attention for a second when I determine that yes they have clothes on.I am sure that it is some cookie that has tracked my spending habits online but not sure where they think I was lingerie shopping??
 Anyway that's the gist of my comment, I guess no 2 people get the same ads.
 I am using Mozilla Firefox , the ads , of course they pay for the site.
 Appreciate all the info and advice and discussion, a great online community.
 Thanks
Tight lines

I don't SHOP for lingerie, but I have been known to cruise over to Agent Provocateur every once in a while....for research.
