Ads help pay for this site to run, they're a necessary evil.

yeah. I usually run this site with my adblocker turned off (filthers FTW..) so that Brett gets more hits on his ads. Also, the new game-oriented ads are much less annoying than the ones they used to have here. (like the ZOMG!! YOU ARE THE 999999999TH VISITOR!!!!1! CLICK HERE TO CLAIM YOUR NEW IPHONE!!!!* ones)

Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it

Alright then, it's probably a problem with my browser. I've just clicked on 3 pages this morning and gotten 3 pop-ins, one for each.

I'll try some of these suggestions.

This is the only site I surf that keeps triggering anti virus "trojan found in temp internet" I get at least one of those a week surfing here.

Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

I only see it once per session when I use my PC. I used my Wii to browse this site last week, and sometimes the ads wouldn't fully load. It would just show a really picture of Tiger Woods breathing heavily! Now THAT was disturbing!!

There's pop-up/ins ads on this site? never seen one.

If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

I have mixed feelings towards ads and banners: they pay the site, so they are important, but while some work fine, some others are made by inept web developers and never end loading and/or slow down the PC: as these damage sites and their users and sponsors and their products, there should be either a feedback between sites users and staff, or if not viable, some testing by the staff to make sponsors know if they hired technically inept publicists.
