SHUT THE FUCK UP
You know what? I'm going to get karma drained and I don't even care. Every time there's a new ad on NS people complain. Noobs don't even realize what the mods do for this sight. We used to have a double pits to chesty ad come on every time a video played. We asked for it to stop. (With about 50 fucking threads) We wanted skiing related ads on a skiing sight right? LOOK AT THE FUCKING ADS! On this page there is an ad for an edit and for jaypeak. Can you really complain? NO! The oakley ad is related to skiing right? People were bitching about it too. The mods have done everything they can to cater to our needs but apparently thats not good enough. I'm sick and tired of this bullshit! It really needs to stop, I'm sorry for making another thread but hopefully it will make a difference. The mods and admins do a great job for this sight and it pisses me off when you guys rip on them.

steeze is good, +k. i see adds for whistler, rage films, faction,smith. not only does it help the industry, but ns has got to understand that advertising is a huge way for newschoolers to make money.

Haha I know guys, I posted it in a thread and I'm using it for all these threads, I obviously came off too aggressive but the kid in the other thread was a douche so I spazed.

I find it pretty easy to just ignore ads. I haven't had any popup ads on the new site though

I'm a website developer and turned my adblock off and forgot to turn it back on. This is what I came across as soon as I opened ns.

No need for protein shakes when you can replace your arms with machine guns.

There's another thread on this. It's not an ad, and it's being worked on.

I don't really care what it is. I don't want to see it.

This is a major error - I'm working on addressing. Been requesting a screen capture so we can hunt down the offending ad. Thanks for the screen cap! Best if you can also copy the link if you see something like this - helps me get rid of these.

Also, I'm going to have this type of ad disabled.

On another note, we're almost completely sold out of ads for November and December... so you will be living in blissful ski-only advertising very soon. :)

Does this mean you have a shrine of him?





Anyways, I don't have adblock or anything but I find some of these ads to be pretty humorous.
