Anyone know of these are here to stay? I've mistakenly clicked on these occasionally and it's annoying especially so much that I'm thinking of trashing the app.

I don't mind ads but inline which looks like thread is stupid and I won't be surprised if the number of users of the app goes down 50%.

At the bottom of the page sure.. But appearing as threads or posts = dumb

I also think that the sidebar ads that MyBB and News24 is a bit unethical as there is a high chance of users clicking on it by mistake, instead of the scrollbar. Advertisers don't want false click throughs if they're paying per click.

What app is this?

My app does not have this ( thank God for it.)

Inline advertisement.

End of thread bottom advert.


Again.. No problem with adverts but when it poses as something it is not to get click thru then it's gone too far. Yes I guess you can say it doesn't have the usual sub-forum/thread info but really it's there to get click thru payment.
