Noooo! The ads broke through my AdBlocker!


I just noticed it when I signed in today.

They broke through the lines of mine too! I'm about to flee. Which way do we go? To the bunker?

Is your bunker ad-proof?

reply

I … I'm pretty sure it is. We only tested it for nukes, floods, plagues, and pestilence, so I assume sneaky, ad-blocker-defying ads will only be left outside the door, pounding to get in.

reply

Need the anti-virus?

reply

Could it be a virus croft? I just saw the ads today.

reply

No,arvin...it was a joke...those ads are here i think for two months,at least.

reply

Really? Last week, I never saw them on here.

reply

Arvin...i don't joke this time...i use a smartphone to talk to you,so yes,i get them...i think for two months now.

reply

Okay, but they must have bypassed my ad blocker just recently. I did not see them at all last week or when this site began.

reply

That's odd...maybe they appeared on mobile version first🤔...the irony is that i got ads from romanian on-line store.

reply

Well, the ads I am currently getting are movie related. One is from Fandango and the other is from some video streaming site.

reply

Well,arvin now i get some ads for sunglasses...i see a irony in this.

reply

Today is solar eclipse day! Makes total sense!

reply

You're lucky,arvin...are you in range of the eclipse?

reply

I dunno, arvin. I read something recently about a particularly vicious virus using ads as a point of entry. It completely destroys hard drives, then jumps to smartphones and tablets. Might want to get your computer scrubbed by a professional. (innocent looking-up emoji)

reply

Yea my ad block is down for this site BUT the worse news is there is a mod5: https://moviechat.org/user/58f7b1a44fa18c0012072338

reply

What did you do this time,klownz?

reply

I just upset mods... they hate me but if I don't sort them out they will never learn ;)

reply

Learn what,klownz?

reply

How to be neutral. How to mod a site.

reply

Then how should they do it,klownz...do you want to end up like imdb?

reply

I used to mod a site about horror films & i took great care in how i did it.

I mod this group as well: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Worldcinemahorror/

And this is my Twitter shit: https://twitter.com/HMmonster

And this one I have used for a horror forum friend: https://twitter.com/TrashEpics

It really isn't important but I did offer the owner of this site I could help them out with promotion & clearly I can... I joined this site kinda early & when I noticed admin had shit all social media presence I offered help... open offer & I have charged people for promotion.

Do you believe me? I can prove i am honest. I can give you access to my accounts as well & I can outright disprove I am racist (getting a lot of that here)

The numbers talk... My FB group is the most popular on FB by a large margin & if you # on Twitter about Asian Cinema you will find me! Hash #AsianHorror

reply

I'm also on FB,klownz...but i'm posting on a...closed group,i rearly post to everyone to see...you can check it,if you want...i have the same username as here...but,you can check your language ( sorry for my english,it's a bit rusty),maybe then,they live you alone😉

reply

Your English is very good. Have you ever considered fan subbing?

reply

Why,thank you!klownz...and no,i'm a tomb raider fan😉

reply

Who's to say that Jim is going to do what Col Needham did with the message boards on imdb? After all Col and Amazon agreed that having the message boards was not a good idea anymore. Obviously Jim isn't like Col Needham and Amazon.

reply

Wow,Barclays...i did NOT compare jim with...Col,first of all closing the imdb boards right after the release of the final chapter was not a coincidence,second..i don't want that same hate to bring down this site or any other.

reply

That comment doesn't even make sense, "barclays."

Listen carefully, Dazed...can you hear my heart breaking for it? :-)

reply

I had the same experience a couple of days ago. Never used to see ads but now I do. So far, mine have all been for movie streaming sites or moviepass.

reply

same here

reply

Third that. It was not just me then. Good to know.

reply

Just a few days ago I made a post here about how this site is easy on my computer because it doesn't have too many ads, just the little clickbait things at the bottom of the page. But within a day or two after I said that, the big pain of an ad reappeared in the middle of the screen again, where I hadn't seen it for weeks at least. Very annoying. And as I said in my other post, I have an old computer and slow internet, so too many ads can be a real nuisance. I can't use adblock either for the same reason; it hogs up too much data.

reply

Yes,this ads are too much for pc's memory,that's why they run so slow,or ocassionaly froze...but you can ad more ram.

reply

Hey Croft, the day after we discussed adding RAM and my computer running so slow and getting locked up by the ads, something changed. I assume Jim tweaked something which optimized the loading of the ads. Now the site is loading normally for me, thank god.

reply

Good thing it's working now without adding more RAM,Catbookss.

reply

Yes, I'm VERY relieved! Who knows when I'd have gotten around to getting that done, and the site would have been unusable for me.

reply

Well,eventually you had to ad more RAM,Catbookss😉

reply

Not anymore :)

reply

Good to hear that😉

reply

Yep me too. Have AdBlock, never saw ads here before, suddenly seeing ads top and bottom of the page.

reply

[deleted]

Yep, I have two per page, one at the top, one at the bottom. I wouldn't mind except some of them are animated with flashing sections and stuff. Very distracting. I know Jim needs them to make some money for running costs, but eeueuegh.

reply

I think there's also another one in the center if the thread is long enough. Not very sure about this though.

reply

You were always an asshole, Arvin.

Amazon is stronger than ever today.

reply

And you're still one! What's the difference?
