Sayonara FT
Well, I've enjoyed sharing travel tips and stories with the FT community, but the increasingly intrusive and incessant overlay ads on the FT pages have become too much. Clicking on something now and again is ok but every singlel time I read a thread? No way. So, I'm out of here. Happy travels all, see you on the next DL conveyance or SC!

Flyertalk is a business not your friend.
Do you really think your loyalty means anything to Flyertalk?
Want ad-free forums buy ad-free forums.
Good riddance more threads for me to start.
Find another forum and don't let the door..... and all that
Just joking. Get an ad blocker.

Ha ha... OP admits enjoying and benefitting from this great FREE resource, then bemoans the revenue stream that funds it.
As others have already said there are SIMPLE and FREE methods to avoiding the advertisements if they really bother him that bad.

If the OP is trying to read "orginal version" FT on an Iphone, I can see where he's coming from. Many forums are completely unreadable because the ad moves the discussion text to the side, and stops the phone's display from re-sizing.

I'm perfectly willing to see the ads (and sometimes even click on them). But I don't see any reason ft is improved by allowing it to run scripts, so it isn't enabled in NoScript.

I see 4 on this page: 1 just under the top, 1 just (one header line) below that, one on the right of an article, and one near the bottom. They don't bother me.
Some pages with more articles (I see up to 40 per page) show more ads.
