While I have enjoyed the fact that classadrivers.com has been ad free for the entire 2 years I've been a member, that isn't even the basis for my issues.

I'm looking at it from the standpoint that I am accessing this website from a wireless aircard. Sometimes, my connection isn't all that good. The Google ads don't seem to care. They have been locking up the CAD pages on me all day.

Never mind the fact that I have to scroll down just to see the content. never mind the fact that I am finding links difficult to navigate through the forest of Google. After all - if us truckers on wireless aircards can't even access CAD, then all the Google ads in the world won't help.

DITTO on that. The pages are now taking twice as long to download. :roll: I wish I was rich enough to retire to that tropical island.

I know that it doesn't look as "clean" as it did before, but hey, all this extra revenue means a huge raise for all of us Mods (and site admins.), so, I'm all for it. :shock:

Sarcasm sold separately. :roll:

With all the ad revenue, I'm sure you'll get your pay tripled from what it is now.

NO, dont like it. I thought there was something wrong with my browser, closed it down and started again. Same.
Im with Rev....Im out here running an aircard, and CAD is "bogging" me down some, and where Im at Im getting full strength signal. Not 3G but full strength non the less. Should be running faster than it is.

Perhaps it's reverse psychology. Throw a ridiculous amount of ads on the page, and everyone complains. Then come in and pull half the ads off, and everyone thanks you. :wink:

This sucks. CAD is now like the rest of the money hungry adware sites out there. WAY too much overkill people. Whats' next? Pop-ups? :roll:
