Default Animated Ads Suck!

Anyone else bothered by the ads on this forum? For example: When there is an automatically animated ad sitting next to something technical that I am try to read, I find that very distracting! What makes it even worse is when the only way to shut it off takes you to a totally different site like an "Ad Choices" page and there is no way to shut off the original animated ad there either. Somehow, there has got to be a limit on the crap we are forced to see, just to have a technical gathering place! Guess maybe the primary mission for this forum has changed. Eh?

Actually it must use your computer cache as an indicator of your likes because all my ads are for rc stuff or campers etc.

What kind of things are in your computer's cache Falcon Wings? Hmmmm.

I wish I was getting Asian girl ads instead of the Geritol and Forest Lawn ads.

Is there a particular ad that is causing the problem?

They have some pretty good prices on cheap RC toys if you can wait for that slow boat from China.

I guess none of you guys have ever heard of Ad Block Plus.
I don't see any ads, here or anywhere else.

Just download any Ad block, you can do it for free or donate a few $$ as well if you want and the Ads are gone.

All the best.
