Redirecting Ads
Just want to start off that I understand the site needs to have ads to keep it free for users. However, the mobile page redirecting with no interaction makes the page utterly useless because I can't even read one page of a thread before I get redirected to a crappy app on Google Play. Which in turn forces me to use ******* to simply scroll the forums, the webpage and visitor both lose in that situation: no revenue for the site, slowed page loading for the user.
Please address your ads with auto-redirect.

I visit the site 2-3 times a day on my phone (Android) and I only get redirected to the Play store about once a week. Big deal.
RCT admins have said many times that this is not an RCtech issue. I can't honestly say if that's true or not but nothing is going to change or be done on our end.

Im happy for you, racer, that you only get a redirect once in a while. However, it does nothing for others that do have the issue of being redirected upon EVERY load of a page. That is a big deal and it appears that im not alone.
I find it very hard to believe that its not a site issue when the redirect occurs at the tail end of the page finishing loading. Speaking of, if you hit stop on the window load after the page comes up it wont get a chance to redirect you. Effective but annoying to do every time you load a new page.

The redirects are turning people away. At least turning me away and I'm sure I'm not the only one. They have been especially bad the past few days.

malware on your phone. I also don't get redirected. However, I also rarely use the mobile version, I always click the "view full site" at the bottom, because moderating on the mobile version is impossible. But the times I HAVE used the mobile version, I don't recall ever getting redirected.

I'm sympathetic to our members who use the site for which it was intended. You, not so much.
