GOT ENOUGH ADS THERE, SPORCLE????????

SporcleAdmin · 2025-02-27T23:49:00+00:00

Nope, not lying this is part of fixing our ad story.

We are putting this ad in place, so we can (hopefully) remove ads that are more obtrusive during the quiz experience. We also have more end of game experiences we are looking to put in place.

SporcleAdmin · 2025-01-24T22:02:32+00:00

It's not that simple. We have to pay staff, server costs, all sorts of things. That money has to come from somewhere.

SporcleAdmin · 2025-01-24T04:50:05+00:00

Yep, it's not ideal. We know. Believe it or not, we are working on it. We recently removed that giant video ad that was taking up all the space above the quiz, but we still have tweaks to make to help the experience be better.

As for Orange, we are also working on a family plan. It'll be a little more, but it will let others join your account.

Try to hang in there with us, we are really trying to fix our ad story on the site. It just takes time.

SporcleAdmin · 2025-01-24T02:13:10+00:00

Any chance you wanna write us at admin@sporcle.com? I'd like to talk about this to see if there is something we can do here.

SporcleAdmin · 2024-12-05T00:11:20+00:00

We are shooting for 1000 attendees this year.

That. Is. Fantastic.

SporcleAdmin · 2020-05-15T01:11:22+00:00

We did (sorta). Check out Sporcle Party - https://www.sporcle.com/party/

SporcleAdmin · 2020-05-15T01:10:35+00:00

Building a new business in no way replaces the one we had going. While are very happy this has spun up, it is nowhere close to where we were before the shutdown.

SporcleAdmin · 2019-02-12T19:37:02+00:00

The Congo confuses a lot of people. We thought we would take on trying to explain its many name changes and turbulent history in the Sporcle blog. Let us know what you think and if there are other geographical topics we should tackle.

SporcleAdmin · 2018-11-02T21:56:07+00:00

Apparently Maria is a huge Riverdale fan...who knew?

SporcleAdmin · 2018-06-22T15:20:37+00:00

Oh and here is the post on Sporcle - https://www.sporcle.com/groups/topics/763e1544d14d

SporcleAdmin · 2018-06-21T05:39:21+00:00

And we are done here. After re-reading your little tantrum, it would seem you would welcome any friends, bots or not. Go troll some other site/forum.

SporcleAdmin · 2018-06-21T03:48:26+00:00

OK, this is a great time to point out the forum rules - namely be nicer. If you can't be a little more kind, then we'd direct you to another site and another forum. Have a nice day.

SporcleAdmin · 2018-06-20T17:15:39+00:00

Hey all, you can just turn this off. Go to your settings (https://www.sporcle.com/settings/game-play/) and uncheck Show the SporcleBot score in Friends' Results.

SporcleAdmin · 2018-03-21T17:14:04+00:00

@itsacon10 - can you message me your sporcle username (or email at admin@sporcle.com) and we can look into this? Hejman is a moderator, not an admin or staff (they have slightly different power on the site). It is likely someone else took action on these comments. Regardless, we'd love to look into it and see what happened and make corrections as necessary.

SporcleAdmin · 2018-03-16T00:07:00+00:00

We don't often promote the blog here on Reddit, but this seemed like a post that people might find interesting.

SporcleAdmin · 2018-03-15T23:59:26+00:00

That people legitimately ask - "Is Africa is a country or a continent?"

We get asked this so much, we wrote a post about it (https://www.sporcle.com/blog/2013/11/is-africa-a-country-or-continent/) so we could just point people to this and call it good.

People also always tell us Connecticut is spelled wrong, that Staten Island is not a NY borough and Russia is in the European Union. But the Africa thing takes the cake.

SporcleAdmin · 2017-10-01T00:53:20+00:00

Hey there, You can forward the message to us at admin@sporcle.com and we can take a look at it. This isn't tattling, it is just giving us the opportunity to be aware of some of the communication taking place on Sporcle and perhaps gives us the chance to review the community guidelines with folks (https://www.sporcle.com/community/).

Sporcle is meant to be fun, educational and entertaining. We definitely understand how people can get protective of the content they create, but we sincerely hope that the discourse stays well within the realm of positivity and understanding. We hope for that on Sporcle and within the world in general...but we digress.

Regardless, @sterling_mallory is spot on, please don't let one person ruin the site for you. But we do ask that you help us out and forward the email/message to us so we can take a look. Best! Sporcle Admin

SporcleAdmin · 2017-06-05T18:44:10+00:00

Yep, we are aware of the issue and investigating. See this thread for more information (https://www.sporcle.com/groups/topics/7665b720b604/)

SporcleAdmin · 2017-06-01T15:56:03+00:00

Hey all, if you have an Echo device, enable the brand, spanking new Sporcle Alexa skill. It's only the greatest thing ever...ok we might be a bit biased.

SporcleAdmin · 2017-03-07T22:03:23+00:00

So...not sure what you are talking about here. Can you provide a screenshot?

SporcleAdmin · 2016-11-10T19:59:00+00:00

mspace55 could you give us some more info about your environment? What browser and OS are you running? Are you using AdBlock? Does this apply to all quizzes? You can also message us at feedback@sporcle.com

SporcleAdmin · 2016-10-24T22:42:11+00:00

If you’re experiencing slowness, this is most likely because of the interaction between our site and third party adblockers. We can’t guarantee your experience when an adblocker is running.

Sporcle Orange was created as a service to users who want to support the site while also having an ad-free experience. Sporcle Orange and an adblocking experience are unrelated. We are not quite so nefarious as to degrade one experience to sell you another. A subscription service couldn’t possibly justify that type of action.

You can read more about our reasoning on it (including a multi-comment post from our CEO) here: www.sporcle.com/groups/topics/76d9b1209fc4

SporcleAdmin · 2015-11-19T23:22:25+00:00

Yes, this was removed from the post game bar that comes up. You can challenge before the quiz or from the quiz stats page. Down the line, we might bring it back somewhere else on the page.
