Looks like CBN is blocking my access by telling me to turn off AdBlocker, which I will not do. At first I thought it was a scam but it's doing it on all my computers. Apparently it hasn't hit my phone yet so I can write this message.

So it's been a good run and I'll miss the morning ritual of messing around with you characters. I'll check in once in a while to see if the problem goes away.

Be well all!

Dang Duke will miss you on here. Always loved what you brought to the board.

An adblocker prevents unwanted links or advertisement links from coming up
on the computer. I was receiving dating websites and other unwanted sites,
but only on this forum. My computer operating system for this computer is
Windows 10.
I downloaded the adblocker several months ago. When I change to a different
section of the forum, in the top right hand corner will flag up for a few seconds
the number of adds blocked and the percentage of space saved.
Wishing you all the best.
Take care.

Perhaps it's time to start a campaign for members to contact CBN and share their concerns on website operations. :(

Good luck with that.

They are in Canada, strike 1, they are woke strike 2 and ad blockers take money away from them strike 3

Same. And I still see zero ads here on CBN. I usually have 2 or 3 adblockers running on both my phone and my PC at all times and I never see any ads ever.

Try ublock Origin Duke!

I don't guess i ever noticed them before now. I guess i do get adds kinda makes me feel good that there wasting there money. They never block the screen just kinda hang out on the side. Zero chance on selling me something using a add. But hey if they got her to spend i got a box plum full of ignore.

Hang around Duke letum wast there money!

I don’t own a computer at all. I use my phone and I don’t get any ads here but I do get them on some other websites??

Ads??? What ads? :)

I could spend an hour on crossbownation.com, & I wouldn't be able to recite a single ad put before me.

There is a lot of free information on the internet, & I'm pretty sure ads keep things free. Having said that, crossbownation.com should provide you the option of participating ad free for a monthly fee.

This would be no different than Netflix. You can purchase Netflix for less money/month with ads or pay the extra per month to keep it ad free. The choice is yours.

The Crossbow Nation deal is even better! I haven't paid a dime to be here!

Bottom line - Very little in life is free. If you choose to leave over the ads on crossbownation.com, that's on you.

I access here with my tablet & phone, both running add blockers. Ads can be very intrusive taking up enough space making some pages completely unreadable. If the company that now owns most of these forums (Fora) forces disabling of ad blockers, I'll be done here as well.
The ads are bad enough, I wouldn't buy anything from a pop up anyway.

The only adds I get are for items I've researched for, like Minn Kota trolling motors, r/c airplanes, Chevroler trucks, and Optic Land. If you're getting adds for porn or how big Chelsea is getting, you must have clicked on them before.

This is not CBN, but your browser.
Quasi-commercial internet browers like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge and the companies behind them hate adblockers.
Thus they came up with a new "standard", massively supported by the companies whose ads they push (and which often belong to the same conglomerate) - and it's called "Manifest V3", see e.g. here.

Long story short - with a browser that wants to force ads down your throat, you won't get out out if.
Change to a different browser that does not implement MV3, and which will continue to support adblockers.
These are e.g. Mozilla Firefox, Brave Browser, or Opera.
I mostly use Brave (which comes with same integrate adblockers) and additional adblockers installed (uBlock Origin), CBN still works fine, and I see no ads.
