Okay, that's a different issue. Somehow the CNCone must be financed and the ads have been reduced recently.

its understood that there will be ads to fund the forums and the right ones can be handy for forum members . Paul had ads when he owned the forums but he didn't use the forum as a money making machine , the popup ads put it to another extreme , whats next pornhub popups ?
I highly doubt anyone is going to click on a forced popup ad and it's just an annoyance

the CNC zone is now also not used as a money machine. Obviously something went wrong here with automatically generated pop up ads, sorry. But it should be better now.

I am not a frequent visitor, but I did notice that they now require a verification and cookies agreement when I log in. The verification form includes name, address, e-mail and phone #, so clearly they are collection information. -
here is the text-

BTW- I found that if I login and when the cookies and information form pops up, I just close out and re-open and I am logged in without filling out any form or agreeing to cookies.
