    Bye bye, Tapatalk

    I’m jettisoning it. Here’s the email I just sent them, for your amusement:

    Just wanted to say congratulations, you’ve finally made the free version so obnoxious that I’m giving up on Tapatalk. The forced five second ads were bad enough, but the last straw was the one that hijacks your browser to sell you something (I don’t even know what, I wouldn’t let it load, since it comes across as a possible virus).


    Also, given that only one of the forums I’m on is still on your platform, I can’t justify paying to get rid of the ads, even if I wanted to stay.


    Well done, and goodbye.


    So, back to posting through my phone’s browser, which sucks, but I can’t take it any more…
