Default ads by ADSDAQ????

I'm starting to see the ADSDAQ ads show up, links off of random words. I also have started to see a banner ad under the toolbar. Are these intentionally placed on the forum?

I think this is necessary to offset the costs incurred by our fearless leader.

Yeah, I noticed this too. I'm guessing it's just another advertiser brought on board to cover costs. It's a lot more expensive to keep/maintain/expand a website than most people think.

I think a kind Idea would be to paypal him $1.00 (If you want) for mantaing a WONDERFUL site, Then there would be almost no ads. Just a thought...

Turn your pop up blocker on. Do a scan for adware maybe?

There is an add by Courtyard that locks up my screen. I have to click new post a second time to get out of it.

If you are asking me. It's not a pop up it's the banner under the tool bar. It only happens with the Courtyard add by Marriot

Oh I thought you were talking about a popup. I see the banner but none of them have frozen my screen yet. Not sure if i've seen the courtyard one yet.
