you can't see how people use their phones, the computer in their pocket, to access the internet????

I guess I should start from the top. People DO use their phones to access the internet and sites like this one. I browse on my laptop a few times a day, but the majority of posts are made from my phone.

Tapatalk is an app for browsing and posting (pics AND text!) on internet forums.

I gave up on posting pics from my computer, the pics are on my phone anyway. Tapatalk was REALLY convenient for 1 step picture posting. You should try the service you just disabled, actually made the forum MUCH easier to use. Now its gone. Keep an eye on the activity #s, I predict a drop in activity. Or just kill the damn thing already.

PS nobody clicks on ads, not on purpose anyway. all you've done is limit user access.
