The director has decided to suspend the sponsored post campaign for a few days.
The campaign with the sponsored posts is part of a larger plan to streamline the ad experience on APC and to improve your time on the site. We would like to gather everyone's feedback about your current experiences and your thoughts about the future of APC, so we can better serve you.
Also, if you have any ideas how we can improve the sponsored posts - in regards to placement, content, etc, we will be glad for any feedback you might have there as well.
You can post them here or send me a direct message, and I will gather the information to pass along to our director.
We appreciate all the time you spend giving us your feedback and hope that moving forward we can do better.
Thanks!
Thanks,
The banner ads on top and bottom of the page aren't that big of a deal.
The sponsored ads imbedded in the forum are really terrible though. They are disguised as the 2nd and 3rd post down to look like new posts so people click them but they are really advertisements. The 1st post is real, then the 2nd and 3rd are fakes. This is a pretty underhanded tactic.
The Pop up ads when you log in that block the entire page are annoying, especially when you try to close them out and you miss the "x" and go to that webpage instead.
