I just noticed that a few minutes ago! Its really annoying because when clicking the 'back to message board' button... the ads are so close that if I am just a little off the button I get sent to the advertisement site. Maybe its just me though. grrrr its so annoying!

I just noticed them today. Everytime I go to post a message or go back to the boards, I miss the right link and click the ad. Great marketing strategy, but very annoying.

True... I'd rather deal with stupid ad things than pay for BWW... I love it and all but I dont think I would stick around if I had to pay

Yea, just saw them today. Kind of annoying, but it's not as bad as some other sites.

As long as it's not those horrible blocker-defying popups that take about 30 seconds to finally come up. Ugh.

The ads are annoying. And ever since a few hours ago, the same "download such-and-such" pop-up has been driving me crazy.

Advertising is good.

At least the ads I'm getting are more like PSAs (for example: teach your child that violence against women is wrong). But even with that, it is beginning to get on my nerves.

I don't mind the ads. In this day and age, I've become accustomed to them.

The first saw the ads yesterday, and it confused me. I concluded that I must never had scrolled all the way to the bottom of the page before lol

Mine says asks which candidate should win, and if you click you'll get a free x-box. Strange.

Mine asks what your favorite color is. I have yet to understand why that is so important...
