Annoying new advertising

[OTABILL]

Can you explain what is different now than before that is causing problems?

Ads are appearing in Forum posts. I even saw one for "estate Planning" in a previous post of mine

I realize the very thought is abhorrent to some of you, but, to me, $25 a year for an ad-free Silver Membership, is well worth the cost. And, I don't really miss that $25.

The ads cover your entire screen and you have to click on them to get rid of them. Before, at the bottom of the page several small ads would appear that didn’t really hurt anything you were doing. Once in awhile, I would even check them out. Now I am like Quick Draw McGraw in x ing out the ads that cover your entire page. I also don’t appreciate the off color ads that never used to appear. I hate to say this, but the site is starting to look like a spam website off and on when you are in it. Ads also appear within the threads themselves. Because of this type of web advertising, I couldn’t tell you even one product they are advertising. That’s how fast I close them out. Even as I am typing this, a big banner ad appeared when I went to proof read my response here. I cannot disagree with OMT’s response, I just choose on principal not to pay for a VP website. No different than clicking on a Wall St Journal story and you read three lines and then the story is blocked unless you subscribe. If it ever gets to that point, I will have to say bye bye. After all, the meat of the site for many people is what other posters are saying or reporting. Lots of other good free stuff, yes I agree, but I don’t see what is wrong with just leaving things as they were a few months ago.

I made some changes in my browser and seems to be much better still some but it was crazy for awhile there.

can you get rid of both the nintendo and the zyn ads they are very annoying and sometimes crash the game

If possible can you take a photo or screenshot and email it to forum@videopoker.com

We want to get these removed asap and that would help.

It's the content of the 3 video ads that are the worst. Some of them are disgusting. I feel the purpose is to make the content as bad as possible to force a pay subscription. Time will tell whether that works or just chases some off the site.

And they come up when you click on something you want to read in a post. I just auto delete them in one second.

Has anyone noticed how difficult (maybe impossible) it is to earn achievements after the first 14-15?

I play on here evey day and have been sitting at 14 achievements for several years. It seems that whenever a new game or contest is introduced, the first person playing Triple Double Bonus who gets dealt 4 aces with a "kicker" is the winner. There should be other ways to garner achiements.

Sadly I am going to relinquisah my Gold membership. To those of you who win these contests over and over, continued good luck to you.

I really doubt that people are winning contests "over and over". I've been playing the monthly, weekly, and daily contests here for years, and have managed just one win on each of the monthly and weekly ones, and two on the daily.
