    I use firefox and have ublock so no ads and things like that, but since today I've been dealing with the site, loading errors and such (MySQL Fatal Error).

    I get it every time I click a peeplink, a UL, RG, or any other FFS link on "The Big Zee" - literally.
    I agree with your comment 140%.
    Also, I think anally castrating would be that you chop off their genitals and shove it up their ass(es), this way they will be f***ing themselves - literally.

    Looks like the * EU COOKIE policy * isn't the only annoying crap we have to deal with. :( :unsure:

    Just to report that I haven't noticed any of this weird things happening, except for the "My SQL error" which is normal when the web server is under so much pressure.

    I'm using Debian 8.2 with Iceweasel [Firefox] 38.4.0 and AdBlockPlus. It might be that it's happening with particular browsers+OS combo?

    Cheers!

    This may could happened because ABP allow to show some advertisement. Check your filter settings

    What do You mean Cook ??? I have it on default settings, and have no problems at all ... or it is just sarcasm ?

    I feel a bit sorry for the owner of the site because I use ABP, but when "they" cross the line with too many ads, I have no other choice :dunno:

    I dont have problem with audioz, but i've noticed that when i clic on a peeplink's link,a window opens & closes (closes due to adblock).
    Could be annoying if you dont use adblockplus & adblockplus pop-up addon (I'm on PC)

    IT JUST HAPPENED!!!

    I didnt notice anything... I though, well, I guess kookaboo is an asshole... but nope!! totally got his shit now... all you others, that have NOT had a prob;em... you probably will... just like me.

    Attention SAINT: If this is true, and you REALLY DID sell-out in some way to make revenue, and NOW WE THE USERS, have to deal with these bullshit POP_UPS that adblock WILL NOT block, which means I have to close Safari (and all the fucking pages I had open), I have to close out, then reopen... if YOU really DID THIS!!?? then fuck you, I;m goin to af exclusively.... BUT, if you DID NOT, then disregard this, and thank you for all you have done all these years.

    I get this one too, except Firefox stops it. I just get a notification bar at the top telling me Firefox stopped that url from opening.
    I have Adblock + Ghostery + NoScript but it seems Firefox itself is stopping it anyway.

    Link takes me right here to: https://github.com/chrisaljoudi/uBlock#getting-started
    Sorry but to me that's complicated as hell! :unsure:
    It's unpleasant having those annoying things now on Audioz & Audiosex.
    Other sites have them since longer but it's clear that they earn cash with Ads.
    Well, there's no perfect site/forum existing yet. :cheers:

    Actually, the best right now is ublock origin. But I won't say "ublock is trash, ublock origin is what you need", because even if you're right talking like that many people won't believe you.

    Happening here aswell.

    Thanks for the tip on ublock. Trying it out now. Adblock has done a good job in the past, but I feel it slows browsing down.
     
  18. It has been a royal pain these last few days. It feels as if I have to duck behind sandbags to save myself from what feels to be bullets flying continuosly around this place. I will give ublock a look. It is much worse on my phone and tablet than on my old and beaten desktop web machine so I guess I need to have a loik at my settings. This kinda really sucks and my experience has been definately harshed these last dsys.

    No problems here. I think everyone got logged out yesterday after some cache glitch, just log back in and the ads are gone.
