Traffic seems down.

Hi all,

I am curious does traffic seem down on moparts these days? I know it is the summer and all but it seems this place is not as active even compared to previous summers.

I'm getting the same feeling. I suspect Fakebook is behind some of it.

Yeah, I am guessing Facebook or twitter even is taking a bite.

People are leaving because of infolinks. It's pretty much impossible to view Moparts on a cell phone.

Example linky

Satty7.. all these negative waves

There is so much vAlvUaBle info in every LINK !

Cowabunga................

Just trying to share some of that valuable info...........

....and most of YOUR linkies have much COWABUNGA too !

Yeah the infolink stuff is BS.. Does Tom still run the site? You would think he would want it off of here.

Was reading a few comments on For B Bodies Only that people are going there because of the pop ups/

I thought I saw that slow decline lately increase a noticeable amount right after the "cage match" sub forum came back on line, but that maybe confirmation bias on my part.

Infolinks didn't magically install itself on Moparts.

Too many Doc Fiberglass posts

I’ve been avoiding it because of that too for a couple years.

But yesterday I just downloaded the Ad Block Plus app and no more pop ups.

So I’ll be here more.

But I come for the knowledge and experience people bring. If that’s weak, the less I’m here.

For those of you looking for a way to deal with the advertising overhead, here are a couple of solutions I've been using for some time now, this is PC based, using Firefox browser (but for the most part the add-ons are universally available for multiple browsers):

1) NoScript
- truth be told, you can run this with the default config, but the more advanced stuff is not for the faint of heart, I'm an IT guy, so I absolutely love the controls otherwise

2) uBlock Origin - Firefox, uBlock Origin - Chrome
- very simple interface, the visual 'dashboard' allows you to turn off anything annoying with a 'point-n-click' type of an interface, so you literally load the page, then use a pointer to tell the add-on which parts of the website should be disabled, in other words: point to the add and KILL it!

Feel free to PM me if you want any extra info on these. Again, PC based solution, haven't tried this on any of my mobile devices because I simply can't stand trying to do this type of stuff on a tiny screen!

That is what I think. Slowly killing the goose that lays at least some dollar bills.

I just loaded the Ad Block plus to my iPad and NO more info links

Now I need to find the a Doc Flapper blocker

Sweet !! Their is an add blocker for that?! 😀😂

So you WANT traffic to drop another 75%?, the 50% Doc contributes, and the 25% that are brave enough to respond?

For years I thought it was going to be a bigger deal.

Finally bit the bullet...

Ad Block Plus turned out to be really simple on my Iphone. Should’ve done it a long time ago.

I like the guy. He has personality unlike many others here that have the persona of Tom Bodett from Motel 6.

Ahhhh ... no so savvy ... my posts are living in yur head RENT FREE !

Yes ... THERE IS ! ... tattoo my name on your forehead !

Now jSEEsea.... I suggest you look at the pesky poster list .. I’m not even near the top 20 !

THX jJs .... good Tom Bodett examples? ... no so Savvy and that Micky that loves almost nOtHiNg !

He did those radio ads for the Motel 6 chain. He is as droll as Ben Stein.

Honestly, i am not going to have anything associated with you anyway near my body thank you very much!!😂😂😂

Roger DODGER... and you want to make an interesting call ? Call Motel 6 and ask the person answering the phone HOW that motel got its name ??!!

Ahhhhh Mikey ... I know you'd MISS MY POSTS !

GET that TAT .. and I’ll send you a free HOOD SCOOP !

There is a Pesky poster list? Who knew.
Maybe a case of not seeing the forest for the trees?
Besides DOc, I believe in quality over quantity any day, the traffic problem noted is not you, just keep on truckin.

HaY DoC........... you leave the LiTe on like motel 6, or is that ExTrA ?

I think his light has been out a loooooooong time................

mopX’s lites are aLwAyS on !

The blue Hobo Fright lites ... with rechargeable batteries

.... and Satty7... and all of those PORCH LITES on ... of all of his X’s !

WHERE all his spare junk is parked in THEIR garages !

That feisty CLEVER .....
