First of all - HELLO!
New to the site - and really love what I see so far. Well... most of what I see. I'm going to be blunt and get to the point... In my opinion - the method you've chosen to display ads: SUCKS.
I have no problem with ad-supported sites. You've got to pay the bills somehow. But placing them inline with the site content - in an OBNOXIOUSLY distracting way - I'll say it again... SUCKS.
That wouldn't be a problem if you offered a pay-method to remove distracting content. But I'm assuming that something like that is absent from this site. Correct?
Luckily I write software for a living and 10 minutes on a User JS script and I can say goodbye to that annoyance, but I really feel sorry for the others - and for the person that made the choice to display inline ads in the first place. There are BETTER ways to accomplish the same thing.
Flame away...
[EDIT]
Uh oh... should I just try to get my foot up to my mouth now? Where did the ads go? Are they only displayed for those not logged in with an account? Boy do I deserve what's coming now...
[EDIT #2]
This would probably be a good time to read the TOS me thinks...
