Google ads at top of forum page?

[dean_dmoo]

Am I the only one seeing ads on the forum pages? There is even one that is done as an overlay...

[dlparisi]

Yes, I'm getting them too. I thought it was virus until I started loading the forum on mobile/desktop/other devices and was still seeing them.

[glorybound]

Yeah, I was just going to start a thread. What the hell is going on! The forum looks like some early 90's spammy website. I am getting them above and below each comment, too.

I hope it is a mistake.. it is awkward to see those ads honestly

[suurland]

This has to be a mistake, are they seriously adding ads on a forum for a product that isn't exactly free or cheap. That is really low!

Same thoughts, I really hope it is a mistake or something,
Otherwise we would have the impression that Chaos is not making enough money out of Vray and their other products, so now they decide to milk every dollar out of what they have.. Doing Ads on their official support forums ?
I mean it is gonna be few bucks from these Ads every month, what is the point?

So next step is opening donations through their YT?

[suurland]

Also it is not just ads on the top of the page.. they are are EVERYWHERE!

The forum was, at one point, for the elite. It was for the people paying for V-Ray and not stealing it. Now, it looks like some freeware software. Poor taste!

[Muhammed_Hamed]

Only paying customers are able to post or comment on the forum Bobby as far as I know, new users have to send an Email to support for forum access
The ads has to be a mistake, lets wait for someone from Chaos

[seandunderdale]

Haha, I saw the ads at the top....didnt notice theyre after every comment! Glad we finally got a figure for the numbers for beautiful and compassionate female users....

[glorybound]

Much better! They are gone and I really hope it was a mistake and not a sign of the future.

[vlado]

Yes, it was a mistake. We have no intentions of bringing advertising to the forum.

Best regards,
Vlado

LOL...I'm glad I didn't happen to see these....there's a reason I have a big black snarling ad dog at my virtual door

[glorybound]

So, I'll never get to see these rare vintage photos? I guess I'll live.
