Why do I have to click past an ad or something at the top of the screen after every third post or so? >:(

At the very least, it's less annoying than the stupid flash ads you were forced to look at on the other forum, coupled with random "announcements".

I can deal with the ads every 3 posts more than a constant one that looks ugly and never leaves me alone.

I find it annoying that even if I'm going to check something in my profile it throws an advertisement at me. Dirty pool, old chap. :-[

It's still like a disease that won't go away. Time for radiation.

Actually I tested something out and I think it could work.
Once again, Firefox + Adblock to the rescue.

You'll need Firefox and its wonderful Adblock plugin.

Open up the Adblock blacklist and add:

http://wrapper.gamespy.com

Then save/close.
I've been purposefully clicking around the forum, and I stopped getting the "Continue to..." page.

It could be a fluke but I've at least clicked 25 times in different topics/threads.  You guys can help me with this test if you've got Firefox & Adblock.

Let me know your findings, gang.

Nice work. At least this will be a good option for people until we can figure out a way to permanently remove the advertisement page. Of course, that's provided it can be removed. Hopefully that's not just a pipe dream. ;)

I don't think it can be removed completely.  It's one of those things where your host tells you "You can have free space but you MUST have ads here, here and here, otherwise you don't get what I'm offering" or something.

Every site that's part of the classicgaming/gamespy network needs to have that in at least three pages, from what I googled.

Even the Dungeon has it, only it was cleverly well done in that it's in only some spots.

That's some good and strong radiation Jorge! I went through the whole form and through the hand full of topics... without a random ad encounter.

It's refreshing. : )

Sure, strategic locations for the advertisements are all well and good. But why must this be EVERY third click of a link? >:(

I think that's a bit of an overkill. Don't you agree? ;)
