This is the official thread regarding keeping the forum add free which cost money but which i feel is a good thing.
But it seems that due to AH.com 2 day blackout we had more than 100,000 page views (that was for the entire month of March), normal the forum has not more than 50 to 60,000 page views, which is the maximum that is allowed for each month, if the number of page views is reach, then adds will appear until the beginning of the next month which is on April 1st 2018.

I am actually seeing adds already.

I already thought that something had happened. But to be honest, they're not that much of a problem to me.

Its a pain but not the end of the world. Adds are adds: something to ignore. It is the price of growing too. Yes, the ah.com outage jumped page views massively, but the site is still growing.

Thanks for saying that, but as this forum is my hobby, spending some money in order to keep it add free is nothing, i just did not take in account that a AH.com blackout for two days would bring the forum 100,000 free pages to a end, but i hope in April we will not have that problem as a i bought a additional free pages to compensate for it.

I am amused at the adverts I am seeing! There is one for lovehoney, which is a sex toy website, and a gambling site advertised as well. Hand-on-heart, I am interested in neither. I thought ads were targeted at people by browsing history.

They know I'm a woman, so I'm getting pregnancy tests. Which is quite interesting, because I have no interest whatsoever in even getting into situations that could potentially lead to needing one of those.

I am curious what kind of search algorithms this site is using.

The same thing when i search something on Google and i find it as a ad on Facebook. Also i seem to get War Thunder and a advertisement for starting a new forum on Proboards.

Obviously you're the core demographic for setting up a Proboarss World of Warships forum. And leave this forum to sink, no, not going to happen. I did some checking and in February i had a page view of 34,886 of the total 50,000 and in January i had a 19,603 of the total 50,000, remember that is before the extra 50,000 i bought which we seems to have already surpass.
