Is it just me, or is there way more ads on BYC? They're even showing up between posts...? :/

There are. They are trying to con you into buying a PFM.
If you use the app "Brave" you won't have that problem.

Imperialism is what it is. Fought by an army of ads.

I used to have a better membership, and I used it to block all these ads. But apparently they've gotten rid of that.
Unfortunately, I don't have much space for apps. XD

I understand that they have to make money to support the site, but I wish the ads weren't so big and disruptive. :/

It's going to have a huge negative eggect. It makes the whole site look bad.

I dont like them either. Ive been trying to give them some input on it. The most nnoyong thing is it making stuff jump around as the ads load. Ive learned to tune out most ads from other sites that shove ads in your face. I actually saw the small ads and looked at them when i was on my phone. Now i dont even see them i just scroll past. (I did get adblock for my phone now, cause this site was hard enough to use on mobile without stuff jumping everywhere) but took it off for ths site on my computer. They actually arent bad on pc.

Same here. I actually looked at the ads when they were small, now I just avoid them. :/

It is MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY
Time for a prompt! I thought I'd try something a little less constrictive, so I'll give you a word prompt that you can interpret into your drawings. However you want to do it. The prompt is: Rainy Day
Rain is one of my favorite things, and comes in many guises. A monsterous thunderstorm, a calm mist, big drops that make lots of noise, or a torrential downpour that lasts only a few minutes. Animals make different calls when it rains. The air feels different, you feel different. Puddles, rainbows, raincoats and umbrellas. Use it as an escuse to stay inside and enjoy a hot drink and a book.
Remember that seasons and environments play a big role in the type of rain, so just keep that in mind.

So, this is rushed and pretty bad (blame the block), but woo; I finally did art. XD

It's supposed to be me, a few days ago, when we had rain after weeks of heat. (Great fashion sense, ammirite? )
