The forum looks like a myspace page now.

If it helps pay the bills so that you, me & everyone else can continue to enjoy this forum I'm ALL for the ads.

Those ads are phenominally obnoxious. I'd much rather they switch to a lighter weight forum software or something.

That's funny, I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. C'mon, operator, you've been a member longer than me, if you're not going to contribute, you should just eat it and smile. Trolls like us don't have much room to complain.

If you're using the Firefox web browser, I wrote a script that removes the ads. Go here for the script and directions for how to use it.
Once you install the script, the ads disappear.

To the right is a better option (those few times I'm signed out and notice anways).

Yeah - better on the right for those of us with wee little screens - - when they were on the left, part of the forums themselves were out of view, requiring a side-scroll.

I don't mind these jersey ads at all; in fact, I think they look good
