They're trying to. In the meantime, take matters into your own hands.
screw the ads. that's easy to deal with via adblockers altho it's a bunch of crap that staff is suggesting it. FIX IT.

I use Ghostery for Chrome and Edge.

I was at the point of giving up on this site.
Is it better now? With Ghostery, I get zero pop-ups on any site.

Haven't been on the AK forums in a while. Upon returning recently, I am really disappointed to see the forum pages flooded with ads - very disappointing and distracting. I used to really enjoy spending time on the forums to learn more about audio equipment. Now, not so much...
if you become a paid subscriber, only 25$, you wont see the adds .

I just logged on and still getting these ads. I can't deal with this. Logging off!
If only there were free ad-blocking apps. Hmm.
Of course, they would know all of your secrets and bank account info and track your every move. Cyber-stalking you until replicating you thru AI.

Ad-block people!
It occurred to me that it could be revealing to try another xenforo site that uses advally, and see how the user experience is there. I found this one:
www.satelliteguys.us
A quick browse, as a guest, was painless. I was using the same browser I use for AK: Firefox on a Linux laptop with no ad blockers or any other customization. Actually, I didn't see any ads at all, which seems odd. It looks like they might celebrate February as an ad-free month, though, so if they are doing that in 2026, it's not a valid comparison.
Is there any chance that any other AKers are also members of SatelliteGuys? If so, can you comment on your experience compared to AK? If not, I think I will register there and browse it some more next month, when ads should be enabled.
Anybody know how to check which xenforo version is in use at SatelliteGuys?

I mean, just look at it (screenshot below). It's like the movie Anchorman 2 where Ron Burgundy says "more scrolling things" or something like that.
And "donations for AK"? What is this? It's like Netflix and Amazon Prime, you pay for their service, but now they are full of Ads you can't skip.
