Hurray! Finally, Advertising on Waypoint

It is a great day. I’ve been waiting some time now for unnecessary ads to get in my way while navigating around the waypoint web pages. I was so happy today to find some! I absolutely just love advertising. ok ok really, I had hopes for 343 but they’re slowly letting me down. The waypoint web site is already slow. It takes a while to load, there’s always delays around the custom challenge creation and turn-in. I noticed today that they’ve included subtle advertising on certain hyper linked words like CREDITS and SLOTS etc. that opens a pop up of some online university or casino respectively. If they’re going to start throwing ads all over waypoint, I would at least expect the website would start running faster from whatever money they may be getting from these ads. I think it’s safe to assume that the majority of online users dislike advertising to say the least. I really hope they turn this around or that it doesn’t get any worse. Throw us a bone 343 please!!!

If it’s not 343’s decision then i’m sorry for an ill informed post, I could be wrong, it happens.

Uh, use Adblock man…

Have you considered that your computer might be infected with malware if certain key words are automatically hyperlinked?

Wait, what? Waypoint has ads? o_0 Are you sure?

Ads on Waypoint?

WHAT ?

Thanks for the heads up with ad-block and the malware etc. I already am running some adblock software, maybe i need to update it. I’ll check it out. Though today when I signed back in they didn’t show up :slight_smile: they WERE inside my custom challenge slots where it said CREDITS for how much each challenge was worth. When I put the curser over top a drop down ad showed up. But hopefully it was just a fluke thing. Weird.

Never mind. I retract my statement about 343 allowing advertising. Turns out it was some sneaky malware that randomly hyperlinks certain words to advertising. No fault to 343 :slight_smile:

I just looked at my iPhone app, it doesn’t have adds.

I don’t see any ads.
