Just click them off right away. That's how these sites make money. What I don't get is that it's been proven that most Facebook users find ads to be nothing but annoying. So why should it be any different of forums like this one? The ads are just an annoyance and I'm not going to buy something because an ad pops up.
jus sayin

I don't like that some of the ads you're forced to click on it even when you're not intending on it..
I believe it's the Teague ad. If I'm on the home page while the Teague ad (1 or 2 others as well) is displaying on the top margin and I click search from the toolbar, then click "advanced search" it will open up the Teague website. the only way I can stop if from happening is if I refresh the page so the Teague ad dissapears. I'm using google chrome, it's very anoying!
I'm not gonna turn something on/off in my settings or install something or run a different brower to fix the problem just for OSO sake, they should fix this on their own. Paying member for many many years.

I know this has been discussed previously and it seemd to go away. But today I got ads on OSO that covered 75% of the screen for "Blue Bunny Ice Cream" "Eye Drops" , and " a Crock Pot". Seriously WTF guys? This is really stupid. I don't mind the irrelivant ads at the top, but to have to deal with them covering up 75% of my screen. NOT COOL!!! Am I on a high performance website or wal-mart's website?
