Trucks can't do anything about the ads ofcourse, but perhaps you could listen to Kapi.
Thanks again for all the changes Trucks!

How is it that someone (not necessarily Trucks) who is in charge of this site can't have influence over what ads appear on this site? These things are infuriating and intrusive! I don't mind silent ads or even ads that make noise when you mouse over them. I choose not to block ads because I know ads are how sites like this make revenue and can keep going, and to pay [some of] you good people for the good word you do. I don't want to begrudge VGC that revenue. But damn there has to be a way to get rid of those ads. Especially since the only other sites I know of that have these ghastly ads are certain video streaming websites that let you see TV shows that you would otherwise not be able to see on regular TV without paying for said TV service, or waiting 6 months until said TV show comes to your country... not that I ever use those websites, oh no, never I've only heard about them...honest.
