Especially since it's always marked as not-read. I wonder how many people have clicked on that link that would not have if it was just a true ad. So now on this site I have to do a double check to see what are real posts and what are not?

Is this a sign of what this forum is turning into? Anybody else here on some other forum that's got good content with less intrusive outside sponsored stuff?

What next? Ads in the middle of a single post? Ads before one can even read a post?

 

Use Chrome with Adblock. It kills those.

 

I dislike it a lot too.

 

Yep. Common on some (crappy) sites.
