Running a world-famous Lego website has its perks. Fame… Girls… Riches… Probably. Still, running this shed in the corner of the internet also has its perks, and we do earn a little from all your eyeballs and the ads they linger on.
Except for the last few days the ads have gone berserk. Now it might be because our equipment and operating systems are older than some of our readers, but nevertheless ads started to appear over images, over post text, and – in delicious irony – even over other ads.
If you’ve been affected by this ad explosion, rest assured we changed nothing to prompt it. But we have summoned all our technical prowess to correct things. Which basically means we’ve turned off advertisers’ ability to place ads anywhere they like.
This might mean that TLCB treasure chest is a little emptier than usual, but seeing as we give its contents to those who need it more than we do, and there won’t be any contents if you all get annoyed and leave, it’s the right thing to do.
Anyway, we hope it’s all fixed now. Let us know if not. And do please linger on the ads that do appear – it makes it all worth it.

I noticed the wildly proliferating ads on my – relatively new – phone only. On my PC, seemingly as prehistoric as your equipment, everything was fine. Sometimes it’s good to be a fossil. 😉
Seriously: Did you consider to implement a “Donate”-button instead of the ads? I would definitely use it to support TLCB, and I think others would do the same.
Hello Sven
Thanks for your comment! Are the ads on your phone better now?
That’s a nice thought about a ‘Donate’ button. We have considered it in the past, so we’ll take another look.
We don’t want readers to feel pressured, but if there is a desire to support us we wouldn’t want to suppress that either!
Kind regards
TLCB Team
Yes, it’s ok now on my phone.
