Ad Blockers and your mission (clearly not user satisfaction)
I have been asked to disable my ad blocker and signed up exclusively son I could respond on the forum
This site is one of the ones I use the most for school and over the last year has become the slowest site I use on a daily basis. I delivers self starting videos, malware that has invaded my system to 'advise' me to upgrade Flash, and has generally degraded to the point that I may have to stop using it just to keep my anger in check.
I have seen no public reply to the many users complaining of the same issues, apparently to no avail. Just now, this message was superseded by an ad!
Your use of ads has become more aggressive, has slowed the site to a crawl to the point of significantly diminished utility and you are not addressing it or responding to your users
This is the way you ruin something good and drive away loyal followers.
No respond from you will equal lower clicks, lower revenues, and some bean counter trying to monetize your community will decide the ramp it up even further to make up. I'm assuming this site was started by people who love Spanish and wanted to spread the word. This is not what your mission currently looks like. Having been a principal in several startups I know the signs. This si the very first time I have been asked to disable an adblocker and to suggest that the site will be faster and more usable as a result is utterly unfounded. I always take extreme exception to folks who try to tell me that something that is solely relate to their revenue is actually 'good' for me.
Cut this bull out and remember why you started it. If it's for big payouts, just let me know and I'll find another site...
Try not to kill your great site as a result of bad advice.
ps. Interesting that the Flash Upgrade window only ever replaces SpanishDict and that I, somewhat experienced, cannot find out how to remove it.... A reason on it's own for being pretty irritated.
If you wish to respond, I'm here (for now)

I use Adblock Plus in my Google Chrome. The sight tells me to disable it but I don't. I am not real good on how to download it but you can go to this site:
