    We'll try to get this ad removed, but with this ad network there is no automated interface to remove specific ads.

    With that said however, I just wanted to say it is ads like this, and those of our local sponsors that fund the operation of this site. With the recent switchover to the new forums, we've significantly reduced the number of ads. "Intrusive" ads typically pay more.

    In an ideal world, we would have zero ads!

    I refuse to browse any website that denies ad blockers. Yes it says prohibited in the rules and if that gets me removed so be it.

    These "invasive" ads has happened a few times on this site and I prefer to not be annoyed and browse in peace.

    Also while there maybe funding is it really enough to help offset costs?

    Simply put, yes. But we do evaluate which ad networks are intrusive and move on elsewhere if we can't find an optimal solution.

    From our perspective, it's users first, even at times when we have to cover costs ourselves. We try our best to find an optimal balance.

    Of course, like I said I would prefer to browse in peace too without ads, but the reality is the website doesn't exist with ads. I just posted what I did because quite frankly I'm surprised there are complaints on here when we have such minimal ads in the grand scheme of things. As rage2 mentioned, user experience is pretty important to us so we don't want the site to be overwhelmed by ads.

    I wasn't trying to complain myself, i just thought that it was a glitch or something, that's why i put it in the bug thread haha

    Beyond.ca has a really good user experience and I truly appreciate it. Besides I like the lotion ads.

    The bottom right corner ones are whatever and I don't care too much about them but the ones that show up splitting the whole paragraph or the entirety of the page are the messed up ones.

    Sorry to say I too find it really annoying. Intrusive. I don't mind the sponsors ads at the top but the pop up ones or the screen splitters ( haven't had the full page ones yet ) just piss me off.
