Well, isnt that funny, I was just going to post about the ads. I wasnt sure if I had a "worm/virus" as these ads started showing up on my Mac and it froze BITOG on me in the middle of a reply regarding downloading or hard copy of a disc in the computer section.
I was just finishing my reply and the darn page froze on my 1 year old Mac. Mouse still worked but page would not respond, so I had to "refresh the page" lose my response and type it over again.
Hopefully this doesn't happen often, I know the ads are annoying but also know BITOG needs to bring in revenue so I am ok with it, even if its a little annoying how quickly they "flash" on and off the page, like right now its covering up my text as I type unless I scroll the page up.
Its a less pleasurable experience for sure and might be a turn off to visit the site as much BUT unless you want to pay a subscription fee BITOG has to exist. Im sure in the future it maybe just that, have a ad free subscription plan. Im sure the reason for the move to the new "host"
