    Can't go to the site on mobile safari for more than a few seconds before I get bumped to a "dear apple user" page. Have to close the tab and reopen just to have it happen again. Not a problem on desktop.

    edit: seems to have resolved itself, no problems now.

    I can’t scroll for more than a minute before the “dear iPhone user” ad gets forced and I have to close the tab out.

    How do I claim my Apple prize? It says I won multiple times. I don't even understand the point of it? Is there something more going on versus just being highly annoying? Basically, can't use a mobile browser to access the site now. It used to happen just on specific threads. Now, it seems to pop up everywhere. Talk about frustrating!

    I'd like to strangle whoever came up with that!

    Yeah mobile experience on this site is not viable anymore with ads taking over whole screen. But at least I won a prize, just have to click that button…

    The main page had a full screen ad you couldn't get through -- I don't recall seeing an ad on the front page before just the BBS forum.

    Now, in addition to everything else, there are ads between threads...even between posts. It's out of control.

    There was a weird/ sketchy pop up today asking for permission to use cookies -- full screen popped up a few times then stopped.

    Yes, that will take some getting used to. Of course, if we paid up, we could avoid it.

    I had paid a decent amount before, but am long overdue to ante up again. Besides, I'm going to have to pay off my Ben Simmons bet with YOLO. So, there ya go. :D

    Tucker Carlson ads... and the site has every right to run whatever ads it wants, no doubt, but is that a conscious decision on the part of the site? Matters to me before re-upping.
