Why in the hell are we being bombarded with large ad blocks within people's posts?
This forum did great for a very long time escaping the evil advertising lords, what happened? Has Winston sold his sole?

Re: What's With the Advertising in Posts?Been like that as long as I've been here. Scepcop uses google ads. Server has to be paid for somehow I guess. Doubt he's making much money, given the relatively low traffic.
Re: What's With the Advertising in Posts?Arouet is right, they've been here forever! It's usually only on the first post of a page. I have noticed that I am getting 'active X' crap that is blocked again but I don't have a clue as to what it causing that.
Re: What's With the Advertising in Posts?I get them on pretty well every post - including the one you just made "active-x" is in green, linking to some active x internet booster.
Re: What's With the Advertising in Posts?ok, didn't notice he was talking just about the banner ads, hadn't paid attention to when but you're probably right
Re: What's With the Advertising in Posts?There's a google ad at the top of each page and of course an ad at the bottom of the first post of each page. For a bit I was getting ads on the right hand side of the posts but I either ignore them completely or they have poofed. Yup, they're still there but I guess my computer setting make them so darned skinny I don't even notice them.
Re: What's With the Advertising in Posts?I can't believe I've not noticed these things before.... they are in the post/reply made by someone and usually the first post on each page.
Maybe they've just become more annoying
