- @CG_GAWS why are you guys promoting a website that is plagued with ads when this site + the game dont have any ads at all?
there is no reason to have such ads on a basic website considering you can get a good server for less than £10 per month and easily code that site.
stick a donate here button on the main page with a link to paypal for anyone that visits, likes and finds the site useful to send you a few £'s per month im certain they will make more than they ever will with those stupid ads and to add to that how many people wont visit the site at all due to ads which normally would and possibly send a donation now and again if there was no ads at all @ljcool110 - ljcool1107 years agoSeasoned Veteran

Thanks for the tips. I have been in the industry for 15+ years and I know it well. The site is dynamic and the ads change user to user and day to day. I continue to monitor and adjust regularly as does the ad provider. I assure you that I will continue to balance the best user experience possible with having the best content for SWGoH anywhere in the world, and I will continue to work towards improving that each day.

This is not useable content. I now have to close out and start over. @CG_SBCrumb
And this is one of the reasons why i refuse to give that site any of my clicks. Last i knew this is the official forums, not that page. So i shouldn't need to go there to read official announcement or official chalendars.- Gaming fans and Skelturix ought to post their ultimate super guide to the so-called "offical" forums site. Here's a link to the appropriate Sith Triumvirate Raid subforum, in case you are not familiar with it.
https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/categories/sith-triumvirate-raid - Well they should also post the official chalender here too, and also address the node bug here instead of addressing it on reddit, but you've been here long enough to know this place is the last place to find anything out for some reason.
- Maybe it's a good site? No way to know.
I prefer the sites using your CPU for bitcoin farming over this.... at least they're slow, but usable..... as opposed to slow and also unusable. "ljcool110;c-1712076" wrote:

The best user experience is no ads at all. And the content on your 90s era design is easily findable elsewhere with no ads at all. I've been there a couple of times and I hate it even when viewing it with an adblocker."EventineElessedil;c-1712267" wrote:

This is a sidebar of the - somewhat sad imo - parnership between entities that benefit from one another. GC's / GamingFan type sites that look to profit off the game and "helping" others team up with CG/devs that want free content that advertises their game. I played mobile since 2014 and before YTers / GCs and this type of business mechanism sprouted up, it was just communities posting stuff to help each other and no one was looking to profit off of a game. I try not to think about it much cause it makes you feel a bit icky to play and be part of such blatant leveraging. I used to like feeling like I played a game, not that I was stuck in a commercial.- first off "ads" is short for "advertisements" which is what there are way too many of for this "guide." the word "adds" means 1+1=learn to spell. geezus
- ljcool1107 years agoSeasoned VeteranAfter reading through the comments one of the takeaways was the type of ads - that worried me. So I did a little digging and spoke to my rep at the ad company. It turns out that mobile pop-ups are an issue in the industry of late, also impacting the New York Times web properties, and that ads like this work their way into the system at times and that they look to keep them out. I chose this ad company for this exact reason - they try not to be as invasive while still satisfying their customers.
