I'm opening this can of worms again because I have been keeping my eye on the ads being used by some websites in order to provide some constructive criticism (I think this was from the 'why haven't you subscribed' thread from a few weeks back). I currently use adblock when I browse GZ, here's why:



As you can see, I don't browse using full screen. Ad 1 makes the writing terribly cramped and is my biggest point of annoyance. Remove this and I will be 8/10 on a happy to browse without ABP while on GZ scale (or if it's possible to white list a website then block that specific ad, maybe I see if I can do that after I post this).

Ad 2, I can deal with, but is the second most annoying ad on the site. It's just that when it flicks over and changes, it makes it difficult to read the post below it, but as I said, it doesn't make that big a difference, it's more of icing on the cake. I took this screen-shot the last couple of days. I just tried viewing another thread and noticed that there are in fact, text ads in some cases (and it works well in my opinion).

I have no issues with the placement of ads on the rest of the page.

I would be interested to see if anyone else shared this opinion or if this is just going to turn into me ranting & raving away in the corner.
