I block them at work because our bandwidth is so low.
Plus I never buy anything from them anyway, so what's the point of using my bandwidth to download their adverts?
I feel the same about popup ads - they just annoy me and I have never, ever bought anything from one, much the same as spam.

I haven't blocked ads from sponsors who advertise in the magazine, they help keep websites free and they generally don't have malware as part of their ads. Personal preferences

I've let UKFast know -- I'm sure they'll make a new banner pronto. Glad you're all clicking on it

i get
Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.10 with Suhosin-Patch Server at www.linuxformat.com Port 80

It looks like it opens a page which redirects to http://www.linuxformat.com/forums/undefined

No, definitely 8.04 LTS - probably 8.04.4 actually but I don't recommend any probing to confirm this.

Same thing, when I click on the Flash add I end up at http://www.linuxformat.com/forums/undefined which shows you are using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS for your web server
