I see lots of porn advertisements as well...I thought that it was from looking at so much porn. Well, glad to see I'm not the only one. Anyways, just a fair warning that mentioning what you're thinking of mentioning will result in an instant ban.

I get more annoyed that the ad in the title bar doesn't always fully fit. It's not aesthetically pleasing to me.

Even if you are using Firefox, you're not giving the site any ad impressions, which means every refresh, every thread, topic, etc, is not giving ioi any money.

(That's why Firefox + AdBlock = Win is a bannable offense.)

I do agree though, an ad overhaul is needed.

use tasteful, less obnoxious ads that won't drive by install trojans on my computer, and I'll disable adblock.

(hint, I do not block google ads, nor any other unobtrusive text ads)

Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

This, between the talking ads, nsfw ads, and the damn trojans I see no reason to disable abp. If that is worth a ban, so be it.

It's already been mentioned. Maybe you should go clean it up before it gets quoted out of context.

At least these guys don't have to worry about rules being changed and then applied to them to get them banned.
