Annoying Ads on SBNation

by Boarder on Oct 30, 2008 9:14 AM CDT

Is anyone else becoming annoyed with the ads on all the blog pages? Like the kind that suddenly expand and take up half the screen and others where they hide the "close" button. I hate crap like that. Just wondering if I was the only one.

It’s that they seem to have omitted the close button and are blocking text over the past couple of days that I have found particularly annoying.

I am getting a TON of those today. It seems they are on everypage I go to.

No problem Seth, I knew it didn’t have anything to with you. I was just wondering if it was just me or if everyone was having the same issue.

and when i say the tech team

i was not referring to mr. crabtree, who could probably fix the problem by hitting the server like fonzie would hit the jukebox.

Are you using Firefox?

If you are try installing AdBlock. It blocks unnecessary Flash Scripts and does a pretty damn good job of it. I didn’t even know what ads you were talking about. haha

Sometimes it blocks videos in the form of SWF files though.

Just unblock the page to see them.
