Feels like every other click the timer ad pops up.

Once a day was fine and fully understandable. This is annoying. The ad partner will also likely have a problem with the repetition too.

The rEVOLution is not being televised

Yep.

I don't use adblock because I don't hate little adverts scattered here and there over the site. But these full page 20 second ads are getting mighty annoying.

I started using adblock last week on my PC because I got fed up of waiting in excess of 5 seconds for the pages to open. It now opens instantly and I dont find navigating pages maddening. Ads on this site are getting too obstrusive and I feel rather sad its got to the stage I have to start taking measures. I have a very fast internet connection too so its not the bandwidth they consume...
