Seriously ..........
 

any chance we can get rid of the freakin "Z" advertisements???

i know that this site runs on advertisement $ and granted, we wouldnt have it
without the cash....

but to advertise our competition all over the place, it just ticks me off....
its like they are trying to bring us over to the nissan side...
:cussing:

Would you rather pay a monthly fee to be a member and have no ads on the site?

I'll bet the ads come from a service that the site owners have no control over.

Yep.

It's usually a script code that you put on your website and it spiders the content to figure out what niche the website is. Then it displays the car related ads that are paid by advertisers.

I disable ads so I don't see any. However if the ads are from google, you can blacklist advertisers to prevent their ads from showing.

I really don't mind if the Z ads are there. Why would it matter if they are there? Do you really get that upset over the car? It's pretty sophomoric to be make such a big deal about an advertisement of another car to support this website.

I say, if they are paying, keep it up!

the ads pop up based on what people type. If people here would GET OVER the damn Z (soooo many threads on it everywhere), then I think we'd see less of the ad; which I'm currently staring at. :banghead:


Too bad we didn't have these ads back when the Crossfire was our favorite little target. :FIREdevil

We could start typing about natural mal....... naaaa.:lol:

just use adblock

I think that only works with Firefox. Is there an IE add-on?

It only works with firefox AFAIK. Why? Is that somehow a problem?

I've taken to using Adblock plus, Flashblock and noscript.

Noscript goes a long way to stopping viral infections from bad advertisements.

Switch to Firefox :)

FINALLY! someone said something!

I HATE looking at that GOD DA&* MOTHER&*%Kng Z "its an icon" BS!


.....


im sorry.....i just hate that car.

idk about the 370.


but i know i hate the 350 with a passion.

The ads are for the 370.. :uhh:

no ads on mine :)

yeeeahhhh

as i stated in my first post, i know we need ads to make this work...its the z ad
i dont like...

and im not sophomoric...i think you missed the point...

i will definitely put an ad blocker on..

and btw...im sure there are a lot of people on this site that feel the same way...

and im sure they can control the ads on the site if they want to

actually. You cannot. The advertiser you work with controls what adverts come up on your page. If you work with Google, Google chooses all your adverts for you. It is in fact, a sophomoric argument to say "I'm sure the owners can change what adverts show up"

I hate those Shamwow commercials on TV, but you don't see me complaining to Comcast about them. I just put it on mute or change the channel.

What you have here, is a tempest in a teapot. Get firefox. Get Adblock plus, noscript, and flashblock, and empower yourself to never see another advertisement, not only on this website, but every other website on the net. You have the resources, and the desire to solve the problem yourself. Do it, don't wait for others to do it for you. We've been waiting 2008 years now for someone else to set shit straight for us and it never happens, so we need to do it ourselves.

I'm really not trying to trash you here, just stating my views on this.

One more thing. your avatar scares me.

all that diatribe and you get scared by my avatar??

:rollingla

I like how sure you are of yourself. However you're completely wrong about it. I've been using adsense since it's inception, and we've always been able to filter ads:

https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1228876772

There is a person that lists how to turn of the ads in their sig. It is a line added to the hosts file that is in the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc directory.
Since this thread was started, I've been looking for it and haven't seen it.

At a quick glance at the html, you'll want to add:

ads.rx7club.com
ad.doubleclick.net
static.internetbrands.com
pagead2.googlesyndication.com
pxl.ibpxl.com

Z? What's a Z? I don't see no stinkin Zs. :yesnod:

I'm guessing if you pay more than nissan did for that ad, you can have them use your ad instead... so it should be pretty easy.

does it really matter? now im seein friggin hyundai ads. at least nissan is respectable

God! It's so unacceptable for there to be car advertisements on a car website! How DARE internet brands try and maintain a free website for us all by advertising on it!

is that , that new thing everyone is calling sarcasm ?

I like to call it an allergic reaction to blinding stupidity. Sarcasm will do in a pinch though.

what do you call the ability to read correctly?

:doh:

cuz you seem to have lost that one...

if you read the OP, it doesnt say anything about NO AUTOMOBILE ADS....so i guess you didnt read it or comprehend it...:lol:

so perhaps 'blinding stupidity' is whats ailin you????

oh god this is facepalm

Open the file C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\hosts and add the line 0.0.0.0 rx8club.us.intellitxt.com (thanks rOtor)

Can't open \hosts ??

Do I just add the line in the \etc folder?

Me personally, don't care either way.Yes it is annoying to have another sports car ad on this site but I like the free nature of RX8club.

Paying would be a nessary evil but I do like free.

What are they supposed to advertise? It would honestly be pointless to advertise the 8 here. So either you advertise competitors or an alternative type of vehicle. Based on what they know about this forum, there is probably a significantly higher chance of people being interested in sports cars or cars that have a nice sporty look to them. So basically you're telling them to advertise cars that have a lower chance of being of our interest on a statistical basis.

Do you propose they advertise the Ford Flex? I'm sure that would really improve sales since that's the kind of car most of us would never want.

Like I said, as soon as you send IB more money than nissan did for your own advertisement, I have no doubt they'd be willing to show yours instead. It's a business. They're going to do what works best for the company.

just ignore it lol
