4 stars saying no.

Your computer either has aids or spend $24 on a membership.

Yep.



Just started this morning. Maybe the hotel's network that I'm on?

Yes, seems like a lot of them redirect to brownells.  I wonder if it's something that only non-members see

During a software update for Java or something else, you missed a checkbox and got an add on you don't want.

Go to Tools->Manage Add Ons and look for something related to ads

I believe it is because you are a non paying member here. Where as if you were a paying member you would not see any of the advertising.

No, I don't think it's that.  It only tags certain firearms related words and the links go places like brownells

Well don't post in any of the tranny threads until you get this figured out.

LOL @ the high roller bronze members giving this guy shit.

OP, It's ARFCOM making up for the $24 you chose not to spend.

I'm sure your browser offers an add on to do away with such things.

Half of the people that post in GD are trannies, so it won't matter.


ETA: I'm in the non-tranny percentage of people that post

Bullshit.  Because I'm not a tranny statistically it has to be you.

When you find one, mash the Report button so site staff can deal with the poster.


Ads imbedded amongst posts are not the same as these hyperlinks.

Yes, they are. ARFCOM is embedding ads into people's posts.

I noticed ghostery pops up a block alert in the NK missile sub thread.

Not sure how that is.

Yea I've noticed this.  It's kind of random, but tends to be links to things like Brownells.  You can tell it's not a user-side issue,  because when you go to edit your own post with whatever word got turned into a link, there is no UBB code to do the link anywhere in your composition.  It's something being embedded behind the scenes server side.

Between that, and the issue with iPhone's automatically going to the APP store when you scroll to the bottom of some threads (to download some App of the day), you kind of have to roll your eyes.

There's a fine line between "a membership adding additional value" and "intentionally making the site suck if you don't pay up." Undecided as to which is the case.
