Topic: I know we don't pay for this site, but... (Concerning Ads...)

[miedo]

I thought it was ironic with all the PSP ads I see on this site.

Pale, flashblock works pretty well.  It replaces all flash animations with an icon that you can click if you want the animation to play.  I find it easier than blocking/un-blocking with adblock.

I use both AdBlock and FlashBlock. If you're a regular, it might be a good idea to block the large image with "where pcg readers go to bitch about everything" on it, so you can see most of the directories without having to scroll down.

I just switched myself.  That paparazzi (sp?) ad--which is so annoying it should be illegal (except almost nothing is on the internet)--got me to switch. I'm a happy camper now.  Thanks, Rick!

Firefox was blocking my installing it at first
But I got it now, will use it.  Thanks a bunch!

I wonder if banner ad companies will actually learn that there is a line that if crossed, people will actually take action.  Seriously, now I will not see any ads from these sites, and only because they put annoying audio in their ads to make me notice their ad every time it pops up.

Just now I got totally fed up with that paparazzi ad and just switched to FireFox, adblock installed. That thing needed to die.

I just have ActiveX shut off all the time, unless I wanna visit a flash-only site.

There seems to be a nice Maxim + Blender subscription deal going on now for under $10!!!

Oh, My God, flashblock is wonderful, i was like this --><-- close to going back to IGN, it was about to be the lesser of two evils with that paparazzi ad, if you can even call it an ad...I mean, don't you have to sell something before you call it advertising?

I mean honestly I would think to myself, "well, I could go to PGC but I might get the paparazzi ad... I'd better not."
This is how the internet should be run (i like number 6)

And here I am.  I have no idea what ad you guys are talking about.  I've been using Firefox/bird for years now, and have had the ads gone for a good amount of that time.  I'm just glad I haven't had to "experience" this ad.  So yeah, go Firefox.

Notice how no one complains about the "Sexy & Single" ads ....

[Plugabugz]

For some reason, I've been using IE and Firefox for a long time now, yet the ads on this site merely don't appear.

[S-U-P-E-R]

oh

[Plugabugz]

Yep, that's the one!

Nevertheless, I still view PGC from other computers/laptops and all the ads are viewed there. I don't hear anything coz sound is usually muted.
