They take up so much of the screen and make it harder to read the thread. Thankfully they don't appear on everythread.

Don't you get six figures from lidl and cadburys and many others? Surely that's enough to keep a message board running with normal less invasive advertising. Essentially users create all the content here.

Can't abide them.

Dear MNHQ, these ads are completely counter-productive, please stop them. Love, everyone.

They obliterate a load of the navigation bar, too.

Really. Bloody. Annoying.

I've downloaded an adblocker browser on android. Will use it just for forums that have too many adverts.
