I'm standing over the warm corpse of my beloved former roommate with a message I feel compelled to deliver. Namely, having a huge advert take up half on the viewing window on a pay site is intrusive, annoying, and counterproductive. Because the Durkl ads are so intrusive and annoying I have been specifically avoiding them to get to the content I'm actually interested in. If the powers that be insist on having advertising content on the pay portions of this site I would request they find a less obtrusive format, such as a simple banner ad.

So, there it is. If anyone needs me, I'll be on the CE boards not buying anything from Durkl.

I right-clicked on the homepage ads in Firefox and banned indieclick from displaying images.
Now I just get a grey box. ("Block Images from campaign.indiec...")

Since I don't pay for adverts. whatever

And Frank, can you refrain from using two handed broadswords to cleave roommates in half? They just have so much surface area to re-polish.

On your "home" page, and in the actual news article pages it seems, (but not in the general news sections) probably in a few other places too

Some of them look like this:

..Like I said, I only see a grey box now though.

Holy crap - blocking the ads appears to make my home page load faster.

Cool - got rid of two annoyances in one step.

Thanks SirPsychoSexy!

To staff - I just want to say that until now I never knew how to block ads, because I never thought they were so annoying. I never had a problem with the banner ads, and even clicked on a few of them.

But these big ads taking up half the width of the page, slowing the loading of the page, on a site that I pay to use, and that promised me I could turn-off ads when I joined less than three months ago, has pushed me too far.

Strangely, I still feel bad about doing it. Just not enough.

Yay! Thank you. I don't know why it never occurred to me to do this before!
