This is something I strongly recommend.
The forum here runs ads, not as if they need to lol.
If it's something you don't want to see, then by all means use an AdBlock!
I use AdBlock on my Chrome Browser, you can use anything you like that works for you.
I have been on this platform for 13 years and have never had any problems, I don't see ads, and there are no wierd goings on here. So don't let the ads deter you, simply enable an ad block and everything will be great.
NOTE:
If you have trouble registering, disable your blocker temporarily, and look for the verification in your email, (and check spam in case), then after you have confirmed, you can then turn it back on!
You also see a lot less ads if you are a logged in member, only the banner ads in the ad spots should show up after login.
