The ads on this place are out of control

I was just surfing the site while not being logged in and I was getting full screen ads about once a minute. This is too much.

Full screen ads? In pop-up windows? I just spent 15 minutes surfing the site logged out and I didn't encounter any. Is it possible that you had another browser window open from a different site that might have been triggering them?

2800+ people logged in at the same time was a 'bit much' too...

So, log in and avoid the ads...

I only had the one browser window open.

I didn't get pop-up windows, what I got were some kind of flash (I think) ads that were about 600x500px.

I hate Flash, it's mostly only used for annoying ads!
