Title: Spammed by ads.
Post by: Ddaybc on January 26, 2025, 04:20:08 PM
There's too many ads on the forum site now. EVERYTIME I click the mouse I have to pass over two or more ads. If this doesn't change within a week I'm done! Far too much garbage.
This is a great forum but it's being ruined with Google Ads.

I agree and feel the same way. I wonder though if this is what Ryan had to do to keep funding this free site/service?

It's day three so far and nothing has changed. So disappointed. :-(

Hi all, thanks for the feedback. I removed all of the in-page ads and left some of the anchored ones. The honest answer is that less Rad's are selling and we don't have a site sponsor so to speak. If everyone made their purchase through our affiliate links we would likely be able to cover expenses. Surprisingly the hosting here isn't that cheap either so just trying to make everything sustainable in these tougher recent times (less people buying ebikes).

Thank you Ryan for the update. I (We) appreciate it. I especially thank you for keeping only the anchored ads. It makes the site more approachable. I follow the Ebike Escape channel so I know how busy you are. Your efforts at keeping the forum functioning well is appreciated.
Hopefully we will be able to survive the upheaval taking place in the cycling and e-biking industries. With luck we only have another year before it begins to settle down again.
