    They need to have a membership. If you pay to join you don't see the ad's or links. Don't pay, still get on---and lag

    Okay, I thought my CPU had mini virus or something as to why IA was loading slower. Is there an option to turn off the AD's?? Oh to the poster who said we wouldn't pay...I've paid before to keep a site I moderated ad, & lag free.

    What we need is a paypal link on this site for donations( if there is one already, my bad, point me too it.lol). As much a benifit this site is to people who wanna learn about cars, sell cars,sell parts, sell anything we should donate something to keep it unlagged...Vegeta

    I would gladly pay to keep IA up and running. By far better than anything we had in Tucson.... but look at how many bitched because of losing RDS, and you think that they'll cough up money?

    Well, then I guess the next step is to find out how much IA needs to turn these ad's off. Echnova, I think people just missed the porn sites/pics of the RLD. I mean it was free anyway.lol

    So who's making the post? lol....Vegeta

    I'm sure there are contracts for the ads now. You can't just take them down without pissig the advertisers off.

    So this is why the porn is gone? lol As a site owner I understand completely.. I remember acurazine went through the same process, strangely that site didnt slow down half as much though.

    The words in blue are clickable links to corresponding websites and ads at the top of the pages. It's causing the site to run choppy. Later, QD.

    Very odd, I dont see any of the stuff showing in QD's screen shot, I guess I am not getting the advertisements. Maybe a perk of being an admin? It shows when Leisa is on her laptop under her name, so I guess since I am an admin I dont see these advertisements which is why im going fast on here and dont see them

    Could be. I'm on FF and I've seen the ads at the top for a while, but the clickable links just started showing up today. Later, QD.
