Quick site update

Post by fishingvic » Sat Apr 04, 2020 12:19 pm

Hi guys,

There has been an intermittent issue with the host over the last few days.

It has absolutely nothing to do with myself or the Mods deleting any posts.

The events have been Unscheduled and are usually resolved within a few hours.

You can see the status here: https://status.ventraip.com.au/event/1357

As for the Google ads, I am experimenting with this as the site wil not be running without a source of revenue..

Basically no ads = no site at this stage.

Thanks for your patience. :gj:

Is anyone else getting adverts when browsing now? Haven’t seen any threads about changes but I might have missed it
Yeah, and some full screen ones too.

PS, I have just removed the Mobile full-screen ads that appear between page loads.

They were annoying me too!

It's a work in progress...

I'm sure for the sake of the site we could all put up with a few ads, cheers davo
It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

Now the ones that took over my phone and iPad are gone, it’s a non issue and barely noticeable.

Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of an ad?

It's a work in progress until I work out the right balance...

Would rather have ads than no site. At least they are all fishing ads for me
