Why am I getting an advert for an xbox? :shock:

There used to be semi useful adverts (eg linux related one!) but now all i get is xbox or 'myfavouritemagazines.co.uk' (I assume that is where u can buy LXF from)

Any other random adverts seen around?

I don't seem to see any adverts at all, other than the ukfast at the bottom of the page

Is that what is supposed to be above and to the right of the forums? I do get the UKFast one at the bottom too :wink:

"About" to be used is why you have those other adverts in the first place :lol:

AdblockPlus and I've only blocked *.ru and *.doubleclick.net, makes a huge difference.

Our company launched a new travel insurance product for people going abroad for medical treatment. Ever since then dilbert.com has been displaying quite a lot of breast enlargement adverts on it's site. *sigh* :lol:

Hi Rhakios...

Looks like you`ll see adverts before they ever
get realeased by at least 3+ hours... :DD

Please educate me as to how I can enter this
futuristic time warp and become one`o`the boys? :DD

Try staying up late?

Now it's GoogleAds: block the original image from the ad-server and you'll get some GoogleAds instead. And these are not images from a server, but inserted scripts, which make me quite anxious...

Future, do something about it and if you don't, loose business: mine! (and probably others too) I've already payed for my subscribtion, so I expect an ad-free site to surf around. A bit of your own ads I can live with, but this is waaaaayyy over the top... :evil:

I sometimes get an advert on the homepage but the rest of the website is clear.

I haven't had an advert here for ages. Thankyou Adblock Plus.
