What the hell is a banner ad showing up under posts? There is one just below my post for audio gear. Looks different everytime I go to that thread.

Since when are there ads inside a thread on this forum? That has to go bye bye. It is very annoying~! And sneakily looks like a post.

Is this forum so broke that it has to get $$ revenue by doing this. SHAME!

Never been on any other forum that does this. Get rid of it, or I am moving over to the Hummer forum on **** Forums.

What does everyone else think about this?

if the ads are enough to run you off to another forum - well, have fun. it's better than those stupid popups everytime you moused over a word in a post. . . . .

They are an irritating PIA and I hate them also. There will probably drive a number of people off the forum because they aren't present on other forums and are very irritating. Hopefully they get toned down to a more managable level.
