Who do you think pays for the expense to run and maintain this website?

Ouch, tough crowd, LOL.

But compared to cable/satellite, which we actually pay for, the ads on here are negligible.

OP, install an ad blocker.

Addblock+ gets rid of some, but not all. I don't mind. Websites with a large amount of activity have a decent cost to them.

To get rid of pretty much all of them add a filter to block the ad element on the website to adblock.

OK, I might have to apologize to the OP.

I just remembered an old thread on this subject, and it seems that some people don't have pop-up blockers.

Those of us that do, don't get to see the obnoxious pop-ups, so we don't see a problem with ad content on this site.

Check your browser settings, and see if you have the ad-blocking settings turned on.

Adds really divide your attention, but do multiply revenues for this forum. Substract the adds, and that's equal to no more forum or adding paying members
