Good example of why I love AdBlock Plus. Examples below of the same website both with and without it.

Dude, I have Ad Block. Why am I seeing a huge Exxon Mobile ad banner on top of my CNN homepage when I already have Ad Block?
Ya, it happens intermittently. Notice I have Ad Blocker (upper right hand corner).
I don't know if it's the same where you are but on this side of the pond as well as the huge film adverts that obscure most of the screen we get some adverts which are bordering on the inappropriate, such as the one featuring semi-naked pneumatic females advertising the sort of "gentlemen"s game site that you wouldn't want your 15 year old sons to access!I can't believe the number of extremely graphical ads on this site, especially considering someone is paying to have this forum online. All that visual junk makes the real board information take forever to load.
Pro Boards forums have a lot fewer ads, none of them are intrusive to the board information, and Pro Boards forums are free!
