Annoying ass ads

Not sure if prophet is just sinking that low, for more money. Or if the people putting out the ads are just getting smarter.
But it seems like every time I try to do a bit of scrolling, I'm stopped by some annoying ass ad that takes up like a 3rd of my screen. Not to mention lately my entire screen will just be taken over by a big pop-up ad, and I will either have to press back, or wait for it to re-direct me. And I have a pretty good pop-up blocker, so yeah, I don't really know what that's all about, or if anyone else is having the same problem. /vent

Yeah, sometimes when I click on a thread from the home page, it completely redirects me to an ad site and then after ten seconds it allows me to redirect back to LF.

Same here or when I'm scrolling an ad pops up taking up room on my screen, just the same. I hate it when it redirects me to a stupid ass annoying ad that no one actually clicks on.

Congar is an unknown quantity at this point
Sounds like spyware to miiiii.

Run a sypbot scan on your computer, then get adblockplus on firefox. Load the adblockplus with an EasyList of things to block and you're good to go.
