It is annoying.
To be honest, ads are much less annoying than some categories of (let's stay polite) people spamming in another sub-forum...
i've had that bloody xbox ad for the past week.
..and your telling me the only way i can get rid of it - is by downloading third party software? WTF?!
STOP THIS MADNESS
Personally I think it is unreasonable that I have to use up my computer space to download some buggy ad blocker which will inevitably slow down my computer - just so i can browse one site uninterrupted.
SORT IT OUT THUNDER
