I think the pop up windows need to be trimmed down :O I was literary struggling for a few minutes trying to regain control over the browser because there were so many of them. If I were a newcomer I would have just left the site. Lets think whether the pop-ups are worth it.

Btw, the advertisements I get are for adult-oriented products, there probably should a way to tweak it. Since the forum imposes rules about good manners and all, I feel having inappropriate ads doesn't blend in too well.
 
I wouldn't do a popup, but I would say at least an image replacement saying to turn off adblock to support the website. That would actually help a lot instead of having popups every time you load a page, otherwise visitors will be turned away immediately.

I am not getting ads related to adult-oriented products, so I am not sure about that.

Those ads are powered by google adsense. Can we really control them?
We are going to remove this for now and we sorry for the inconvenience caused :(

You don't need to apologize =) I said all that not cause I was upset, just wanted to give you feedback.

I think there has to be at least a way to allow or forbid 18+ ads. There are not a lot of them, I just wasn't lucky getting a few in a row =)

Do you know of any such way?
After all, you are running a blog for a long time now :D

I never tried to earn money with my blog, so I don't have any experience with ads. Sorry =) Still, I think there have to be a way to configure your ads.

Hey Sindar.

It sounds like you are experiencing some sort of adware, because this doesn't happen to me/or ever happened.

Try and install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, it works really well and won't conflict with your anti-virus, I'm pretty sure you have adware, if not, that is weird.

Hello =) No, I don't have any adware problems. The pop-ups I mentioned are built in animemangaforum.

Well, since you said "Adult-content", I just thought it could be adware.

Does these ads consists of such inappropriate content?
We are not earning much. So, if you guys hate them, I will ask clara to disable them.

I'd rather not repeat what they say, but no, I don't hate them. And ads are regional, so it might be only me who gets this kind of ads. Since other users don't seem to be bothered so far, you don't need to worry about it.

Have you tried and disable adblocker on other sites and see if it's the same outcome? If so, must be adware! :)

Just to be sure xD.

Why do I not see these ads? I don't have adblocker installed on my computer at all.
Even now?May be clara disabled them after looking at all the feedback provided by the users.

I can see them now, but the forums seem to take longer to load since they were added.
