I'm still trying to figure out what "Anyad clips" are.

Google search came up with nothing for the word 'Anyad'

I understand the reason for the ads. My problem is that if I am listening to a podcast or other audio program, these stop the audio so I can't have an audio on an check the website on my iPhone.

I think there are more annoying threads than there are annoying ads. I don't see any of what you are talking about either. I think it is more user error than the forum.

So why do you think someone invest money buying this website? You are right, it is to make money. The targeted ads produce income.

On most forum sites, you get banned from displaying PM's. Just saying.

Can this thread be closed. There are ads, they pay for the site. Having ads is better than not having a site. The only other option is if they create an option where you pay for no ads.

Exactly. Another lifetime, contributing member here.

Side note, I don't see those annoying video pop-ups on any of my phones, iPad or PCs, so perhaps that's a perk of being a contributor? Don't know.

News flash: vendors pay many of the bills here and they get to advertise within the forums. Complaining about it is a non-starter.

Id also advise against complaining about moderation as well, particularly if you have had time off in the past for it. It’s a poor strategy.
