It wouldn't be so bad if there weren't so many... I get them in bursts, so I either have none or a whole bunch which run me off the site for awhile.

"Hybrid" and "MIA" were underlined in my roleplay. Car ads...kind of irritating. (No members yet, BTW, check it out!)

Curious. Are those users who see the ads running Explorer or Chrome, perchance?

There is an add-on for Mozilla Firefox called "Noscript". It blocks all scripts (such as ads) and only allows what you choose to allow.

I have not encountered any of these ads but I see the new sites for them listed in my block list.

Something to consider, maybe?

Raz, I thought your link was an underlined ad, XD

That was a very informative article, now I'm not so annoyed by 1000 ads opening up and having the click close, because it helps keep us up and running!

I have add blocker and I usually turn it off to keep the game free so when I went to turn it off it said "Blocked items on this page 17 out of 153" O_O

These ads have been popping up everywhere. >.<
I've kind of been avoiding the site recently because of them.. AVG had a warning pop up about threats on the current page the first time I encountered the new annoying ads...

As mentioned earlier in the thread though, there was a bad pick of the ads put in/on the site which isn't in the rotation anymore.

No need to worry anymore I'd say, but we really do excuse for this in the first place.
