Is anyone else pissed that proboards added these ads? they really distract from reading, and are a huge nuisance. What do you guys think?

Well I'm with you Ali. It's fucking annoying! Though I have actually found some interesting sites through the normal banners... one turned out to be a porn site however... that was hilarious.

It's annoying but I agree it is a free service at it isn't terribly hindering on our reading.

Yeah...I actually thought that it was a bug, I guess it's not. I'll check some other proboards sites and see what's going on there.

I started tuning them out almost immediately. Annoying, I guess, but like JP said it's a free service, this is how they make money.

If they really bug you, I think there's a Firefox extension to block them.

I might have to get that. I can tune them out, but to me it breaks up part of the conversation which is really frustrating.

They're very easy to tune out for me, I just find their physical intrusion into our conversations rude. Yes it's a free service, but they're already one of the largest forum providers out there, I'm sure their money situation is fine. Regardless, it's not that I actually really care, I just really don't agree with it.

people who want money want money
also, if you think about it, its like what double the number of ads they had before, AND, the new ads show up on nearly every page, so they're almost doubling their income per forum I think.

Oh I realize how good it is for them, I'm just saying I don't care if it is and I don't sympathize with them.
