Shelby 427 1965 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 If it keeps the site running, they can advertise whatever the hell they like as far as I'm concerned

My bad, it got moved. A shark just got jumped. If it keeps the site running, they can advertise whatever the hell they like as far as I'm concerned Amen to that, brother!

Now, there are a few forums that I partake on that offer a paid membership, or premium membership's if you will, not sure if this forum software is able to do that.

I agree with you on that and you wasn't even talking to me.

If I'm not mistaken, the ad-hosting service itself is clean . . . the only problem you risk is IF you click on the ad to 'see more' . . . some of those (especially the ones with the biggest boobs) are viruses looking for a place to happen. No clickee, no trickee. But I could be mistaken. I thought I was mistaken once, but it turns out I was wrong about that.

I do believe that you are right about the ad hosting service it's self is clean, but I believe that virus's can still get attached to ads somehow, again, I could be wrong, but I do know that pop up ads are some of the biggest carrier's of viruses.

I think viruses are mostly a problem w/ IE and Windows. I try and stick w/ Firefox, Sea Monkey or Chrome on a Mac.. Edited July 31, 2013 by Rob Hall

Well for me its a problem as I am using Windows and I think most everyone else here, minus a few guys that are on a Mac, thank goodness for programs like Ad Block Plus
Harry P. Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Well for me its a problem as I am using Windows and I think most everyone else here, minus a few guys that are on a Mac... Once you go Mac, you can't go back...
Rob Hall Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Once you go Mac, you can't go back... So true... I couldn't imagine going back to Windoze...
martinfan5 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Once you go Mac, you can't go back... You buy one for me, and I will give it a try Both have their pro's and con's , and I will stick with Windows for the mean time . Price is a big factor Edited July 31, 2013 by martinfan5
Harry P. Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 You buy one for me, and I will give it a try Both have their pro's and con's , and I will stick with Windows for the mean time . Macs have no cons. All pros. Believe me. I've been using a Mac since the late '80s.
Danno Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Macs have no cons. All pros. Believe me. I've been using a Mac since the late '80s. They're much higher in fat and cholesterol than regular burgers.
Rob Hall Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Macs have no cons. All pros. Believe me. I've been using a Mac since the late '80s. A few cons are they tend to be heavy, get hot (aluminum body transfers heat), can't change the battery easily in the newer models, and the aluminium body will dent when dropped (but that's also a plus compared to a Windows laptop that will crack)....but I've used Mac Book Pros at home and for work for several years now, very happy with them overall..

martinfan5 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Macs have no cons. All pros. Believe me. I've been using a Mac since the late '80s. I would say the higher price tag over Windows computers is a con, for me it is

Well, you're talking laptop. I do the mag on a desktop.

Harry P. Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Yeah...I don't do desktops..haven't had a desktop anything in 7 years...as a consultant, I need portablity. Yep, I get that. But for me... I do what I do from the house, so a laptop isn't necessary. Ironically enough, the laptop I own is a PC!
martinfan5 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Desktops are slowly on their way out as well, I read that on the internet, so it must be true , I have no desire to own a desktop.
Danno Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 My desk much prefers to have a top. Ever seen a topless desk?
