Every time I click on a forum topic or go back to the board, I get a Ford Incentivies pop-up. Perhaps if you moderators were to reduce the advertising, guys like myself would pay some money per year to support the site. Every month it seems to get worse. Look at how many people we have lost from the 6.4L forum! It really sucks to click 10 times on a site and get a pop-up 10 times!

I never have heard the pop up "pop" on this site or got the notification bar. Dieselstop.com is in my "allowed" box too.

I emailed Jason one week-plus ago and no response to my concern about how long the ad servers are taking to load, so that I can then get to the information I want! The amount of advertising on this site appears to be ever increasing and to the point others have made, is resulting in significant page performance issues --- (yes, I broadband, yes, I have pop-up blocker, yes I have plenty of RAM --- the issue is the site/servers; not on my end)

I use Firefox. Adblock Plus, Flash Block, and **all** popups disallowed. I've never encountered any performance issues with this site as a result.

WOW, just switched from IE to Firefox. Huge help for slow loading issues. No more IE for me. & never had a popup with either.

Scrool to the bottom of this page and you will see the new owners plus all the other sites they own.
