I typically don't support ad-block extensions as I know sites depend on ads to keep them afloat, but the ad's on this site are so bad I went ahead and downloaded Adblock Plus for Chrome. There's a right way and a wrong way to do advertisements on the web, unfortunately you're doing it the WRONG way.
I'll just say this; When I was not a part of the Dfans team, and we were picked up by Curse, I HATED the ads. They made me really not even want to come here. You have a valid complaint in my book.

I agree and disagree to some degree. The normal ads on the top and bottom are absolutely fine, and I wouldn't have much of a problem with the ads on the sides of the screen, if they were not link ads. I would greatly enjoy having them as non-link ads and only the ones at the top and bottom be link ads.
That being said, it's not really that big of a deal in my book.
I love blocking ads just cause I have the power to do so. But yeah, Dfans ads weren't just banners at the top or to the right, they'd be ads that took up the entire background of the screen on all sides and even if I wasn't into blocking ads I still would've blocked those ones.
Some of those ones if you scrolled over the banner they would take up the a huge portion of the screen. But yeah there were ones that took up the background so instead of seeing Diablo there to the left and Tyrael to the right, you'd be seeing an entire single ad for some crap. Annoying as strep throat.
I used to successfully block the video ads on The Daily Show's website and it was so sweet. But after reinstalling my web browsers as well as the adblock program, I've been unable to block them without blocking the show's actual videos. I had it so sweet before with all that and now I can't seem to get it the way it used to be. So I have to resort to just watching the ads from Comedy Central's site or using Hulu (ewwwwwwww!).
You mean the ones that go from an inch and a half tall to two and half inch tall ads up at the top? I wouln't exactly call that "taking up the whole screen". >.>
As for the ones on the sides, I don't see the problem, you still get the content of the site, you just loose the background that we've had for some time no.

The only ones I really can't stand are the ones that take up the whole background. The one or two that are placed throughout the layout I can handle, =\.
I think having Curse Premium removes any/all ads though, which is part of the deal there.
I don't understand this at all. The ads are so unintrusive I actually don't notice them at all. I just feel that this is completely wrong. There are only ads on the top and bottom and they are so unintrusive. How can you find that intrusive?
Whatever. Sorry guys >.<

Yah they can get annoying, especially the ones that play videos...my internet is shitty enough as it is, and those make browsing the forums that much slower lol.

The only ads I hate are the audio-only ads. <_<

To each his own. I still prefer blocking the ad.
