Yep it’s happening to me.
As I use my iPad most of the time for surfing, lots of ads

Install StopAd from the store. I just did on my iPhone X and no ads.
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

Hi Mark,
Rest assured that, as Grant has said, we weren't selling anything, least of all any personal data. Before the recent changes in GDPR took place, Skimlinks would simply process the 'credit' for purchases made as a result of links (such as to ebay and Amazon) hosted on the forum.
What's happening now, if the end-user has made such a purchase, is that a prompt/pop-up will appear first asking for consent for affiliate and advertising purposes. If the end-user accepts, Skimlinks stores a record of that consent, and we get credit for the purchase. If the user does not, they still continue onto the merchant (such as ebay or Amazon), as usual, but AoS doesn't get any credit.
Obviously what's been happening, and why revenue from Skimlinks has rapidly declined since the recent changes to GDPR, is that folks have been declining consent, because of being cautious about sites 'tracking' where they click, which is understandable. However, providing consent does mean that the site costs are covered, and ensures that AoS is able to support itself.
We would of course leave it up to the individuals concerned whether to give such consent or not, but it's worth considering, especially for those mindful of the site continuing being able to generate the income necessary to pay for itself.
As a point of note, in that respect, a donations tab will be set up in due course for any members who would like to make a voluntary donation at their discretion. Thanks again to all for their understanding in this matter
Marco.

Marco put a post up explaining why more adverts, might be an idea to read why
Edit: I didn't read the whole thread and see Marco has replied anyway
Still ads all over posts... Some point in will look into ad blocker stuff.
I still think forum users should have been informed in advance , rather than after. A sticky or a post would have made a big difference to the frustration and to a computer numpty like myself the fear that my computer has been infected by a virus type of thing...

One possible solution is the standard notice that surfers get when accessing most sites these days, such as on the TAS forum, or the Guardian news paper website. That way you have the option to go and join a different audio forum where there are no adds. I haven't found any myself yet, so some people might well have to give up visiting audio forums and stick to xhamster etc instead.
