Owlstalk obviously continues to grow and grow but it has always been the biggest Wednesday forum anyway. Do you think the increase in intrusive adverts has put people off?

Absolutely, may even have been the final straw, I never use this site on a phone or similar, it's just about impossible, other footymad boards are thriving though so it's not just that, there are some big clubs whose forums on footymad have been dead for years or were never popular in the first place.
