    So...seems the ads only show up when using a mobile device (phone) or something? I don't get them on my laptop (which I guess is also mobile technically... :rolleyes:). Maybe I have a firewall that won't let them through there or something. :D

    Funny I get them on the laptop, and not the phone. But I've never updated my phone since I bought it new back in 2017.

    Not to really get into that, but any PDA in ads is just off putting. That's just the way things are, wouldnt leave a place like this over what google decides they want to display.

    Ryan,
    I think sponsoring a young rodder is a great idea. I am interested in sharing this stuff with the young-uns.

    I have not seen one ad on my phone. Maybe it’s my browser, DuckDuck go.

    I needed a new fan controller for the Olds and was on-line looking for one the other day. One of the pop-up ads on here yesterday was for a Derale controller, $30 cheaper than summit and free delivery. So I bought it, some*******, Cheetos and a year of Peacock for only $19.99

    Hey guys we have to remember the purpose of the ads, I’m not a fan of ads myself but if they generate $$$s for a good cause I’ll suffer through. Not sure if visiting some of the sites will help revenue or not? Anyone understand how the system works?
