Still, even if you have a job, iirc, you need to link a credit card to google to buy apps on the play store. So if u dont have one, ur screwed. And i dont see ppl applying for a credit card just to be able to buy apps on the play store. (Please correct me if i am wrong)

Banks are doing debit cards now. The practicality of a credit card without the hassles of them.

That's why you get a prepaid credit card like the American express prepaid card (completely free with no monthly or annual fees) or green dot card (has monthly fee). They Require no credit in the USA but a valid SSN due to legal reasons. If you are below 18 you just need a guardian to sign you up for it, rr buy a play store card if you live in a country where Google play store cards are sold and supported... Optionally you can always ask your parents to buy you the app as it is inexpensive for the price. If you got money to pay for a phone, phone service, or Internet service surely a one time payment for an app of the price of a pop wouldn't hurt. =)

While browsing xda-developers/forum on my android tab using chrome it often happens that the page which was loading (usually the thread about Franco kernel for nexus 7, since it's the one I visit more often) disappears and a porn ad occupies the page, while chrome warns me that the site is trying to let me download an app. Hoping that the problem was in my tab, I did data-wipe, but it still pops up, only here on xda. Do you want screenshots with nude women or the description is enough?

You could take the screenshot and just delete the NSFW parts while still leaving in enough for the admins to identify the source of the ad.

OK, now i'm hoping for it to re-happen just to take a screen ;)

Re-reading my previous post, it sounds just too polemic, specially the last sentence, so sorry, was not my intention, I was irritated because that thing had just popped up.
Also, English is not my main language ( I'm doing what I can to learn it) :p

    The internet is full of advertisments and let's face it, almost every site that has an ounce of traffic uses ad revenue. The intention of xda is not to burden its members with ads that distract from the user experience. With that being said, if you have a problematic ad, please take a screenshot of the ad and post here so admin can take care of it. right now, that is the solution in place.

    Thanks for your help in keeping XDA "intrusive ad free".

    +1 Im annoyed with these redirected fake sites and sites that auto start downloading mobogenie apk

    Its Going To Be LEGEND--Wait For it--DARY!-Barney Stinson(How I Met Your Mother)

    +2 Avast is now blocking the entire xda site whenever these adds pop up.

    Is this forum a ship with no captain, this has been going on for nearly a week, do the owners not care at all?

    time to do something

    So tonight I drop by and am confronted with an ad that obscures a large portion of the bottom screen. It is inescapable and makes the site unreadable so I click it in the hope that it goes away after the obligatory popup... no such luck. It remains on the page. I go to scroll the page and trigger another ad on the right hand side. Christ almighty, can xda please accept some responsibility for the general usability of the site? Right now it's not happening and the site is borderline stupid to use. Ive been around a long time here and have heard every argument about ads and their role in modern development... I get it, I support it and want every dev to wildly succeed. This isn't about that. This is about xda making a decision to commit to usability and striking a better balance between content and advertising than what we have today because its not working as it stands. Thanks for the rant

    For last couple of weeks, I've been experiencing an EXTREMELY ANNOYING pop-up ads problem on XDA Forums. It's so frustrating I cannot browse this forum from my phone anymore. And it's definately not about my device/software. I tried every possible software solution but still no luck and I have this problem on more than one device. All these spam/ads are coming from the same website: itt-edu.us and they these ads claim that I have virus on my device, my device is slow or outdated etc and they redirect me to some software called 360 Security on Play Store. These ads keeps poping up unless I close the tab in browser. Here are some screenshots from these ads I've been talking about, they are all in Turkish(my native language): http://imgur.com/a/Yam1D
    Here is a thread about the issue from another user: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/help/question-spam-t3278835
    And here is a thread from a local forum, these people also claim that issue is about XDA itself not our devices: http://forum.donanimhaber.com/m_112937991/tm.htm
