OT: Back On The Air

I didn’t get any notice and I’m a sponsor as well. Where did you see it?
In my notifications...

I see it. I'll wait to see what transpires in the next little while. I don't seem to have a problem with ads just like when I was a sponsor....
The site, since it has returned, has been working the best it ever has for me. And, even though I'm not a sponsor/subscriber and don't have an ad blocker, I'm not seeing any ads. (I imagine that will eventually change though.)
 
My understanding is that they upgraded the software for the web site and it did not take well, as you suggested. When they tried to fix it, things did not go well, and when they tried to reboot it, that's when the real problems started. As I have said, things were fine until they started tinkering with it, kind of like Windows. Should have waited until the summer when it would have been less impactful. But as they say, hindsight is 20/20...:dunno:

My guess, they were trying to implement more ads, and that's what broke it.

Yup it's the ads that slows the site down even with or without an ad blocker, for sure they will be back but for the time being enjoy a site that works really well.
 
Just wondering, for the ones that are sponsors do we all get a couple of extra days past our renewal date for free because of the shutdown? Yes i'm a Winnipeg'er and i like deals.:laugh:

I see you have your sponsor tag back. I haven't got mine but I'm not getting the ads. So have I got my sponsorship or don't I?

uBlock Origin Lite for Chrome/Edge now.

I bailed on Chromium browsers a long time ago, but most people should consider this with them removing uBlock imo. Unsure what the Lite version doesn't have, hopefully it's fairly comparable!

Firefox mobile w/ uBlock is great for mobile viewing if you're not on a laptop/pc. I find ads so intrusive these days... I can't stand the incessant advertising everywhere you look :(

I don't mind paying 17 bucks for no adds for a year of entertainment. But they better not do anymore upgrades unless it's August.

Agreed.
I have an adblocker but I think the annual fee is cheap considering what you get nowadays for under 20 bucks.
