toms comic site ticking anyone off but me??

#1 Post by Flora Legacy »

Ok...tom...dont get me wrong here...i love your comic and site.................but god dangit....you just screwed me and im sure other cell phone users over BIG TIME with the new ads...



Sooo...i opened up the site to read the comic i missed this week...and wouldnt ya know it....................i cant freaking read the comic...

Why??
Causw every time i load the page, i see it for all of 2 seconda before i get an UNAVOIDABLE ADVERTISEMENT WHEN USING A CELLPHONE...

"Congrats. Your the first cell phone user to visit this site (android) click ok to ......" and my phone has LITERALLY NO WAY TO GET AWAY FROM IT...clicking the phones back hardkey does nothing, and nothing else will run/do anything until i click ok...therefor rendering the comic site unuseable and therefor unreadable.
.

Now, i know you need ad revenue, much like im running google adsense on my own forum...but there comes a point when the ads become intruesive....and you have hit that point tom...i myself hit that point with my ads many a time before i settled on google adsense... so i know the problem... but i myself, as well as over half the members of the twokinds parody rp were running ouraelves use cellphonea to use the internet...


So making your site unuseable by phones is not a good issue to have...


Just my ranting and rambling for you all...

Sorry for the mistakes and spelling issues...using my cell right now ironically...

Sorry for this rant...but it felt appropriate...

Had that problem for about a week back in July, then it stopped completely.
It's not Tom's fault, it's Keenspot's.

Nope, Keenspot is a network that hosts many webcomics, and they're the ones that decide of the ads.

This would've fit much better in the Rant/Vent/sad thread, just so you know. It was unnecessary to create a new topic.
