Have you seen that AlphaF1 web site bans you if you use "Advert Blocking" software!

I think the site will soon close as most people seem to be leaving there to come here.......

Does anyone else use advert blocking or is it just me??.........

This was already discussed a few days ago in the OT forum.
For sure I won't disable my popup filter. I have even Ad-aware installed :)
He lost my few hits.



Be ready!

Such a shame.

Got banned for no reason, now this AD thingie. Personally I'm not going to bother anymore, it's too much hassle.

Shame, as Ajay's GP3 league was fun.

Oh, and NUNO IS A GOD!!

It happens because some firewall software use a pop-up blocker. It's is "Anti-Leech" because the pop-ups pay for the site. If nobody even views the pop-ups he doesn't get the money. I find it shelfish that most of you can't even be bothered to let a pop-up load then close it.

Well if 2 windows open in IE for me it freezes. Is that selfish?! Its not that good a site anyway, and the forum's nothing on this one.

Hey all, I'm new to this site and have been going to Alpha1 for a long time. I don't have any pop-up stoppers installed on my system and I even added his site to my safe list with full cookie use and it still comes up and says I'm blocking. Oh well I like this site a lot so I'll just come here.

Peace!

I'm also banned from the site

I have special software (from Norton) but it is switched OFF

I agree that you won't get acces to the site IF you use special software to block things. But like this... It's really stupid, I hope they will remove this security

If got a little trick, when the site (or a new page) opens, hit the STOP button of your explorer ;)

- ONLY JOKING, here is the statement

' The word filters have existed since these forums were made - nobody complained then. But I have now decided to remove them. Hope you all are now happy.'

Now maybe some of you will stop moaning about it.

Covfan, what is your problem? All you do is be negative "how many posts do we need about this" "I think your upset cos you werent chosen as moderators" "now you can all stop moaning" Lighten up un petit peut.

What French small thing did you call me? :)

I'm just annoyed with the amount of people who are opposed to not having any moderators. Also there are two threads about Alpha F1 in here and one in Off-Topic. It can't both be off-topic and grand prix 4 related?

No I have not resigned from the team. Although my performances are a little, shite.

Iwas banned thanks to my stupid ex work colleague. I've been emailing moderators to get back in and today I find I am no longer banned - Hooray!!.

However, I still have my posting permissions refused. Working on that.

Well, it loks like the people have finally got the message across. Lol

Matti finally learned the first rule of business: You have to keep your customers happy, otherwise they'll leave, won't return and eventually you'll be out of business.
