The site has to make money somehow.

What I find more irritating are the ones which come up really loud and give you no opportunity to turn them down.

The new trend on every site... Fucking adverts... Youtube too...
That shoe ad on Youtube while I'm trying to watch HDStarcraft can go fuck itself.

I'm tired of it but whatever. Money.

Every site has to make money, but I do agree that they are rather annoying and a bit to frequent.

What happened to the poll? Fucking threads with advertised polls that dont deliver!

Anyway, yes the site needs you to see those to make money etc etc...or for an exaction fee they promise to cut them out. what? Thats borderline extortion...also we're not allowed to talk about the obvious free ways of getting rid of ads.

If you don't like it.....

Join the PubClub.

That's all I got as the Escapist has to make money somehow! Either by playing the adverts or by getting money not to play them...

I think I have missed a point there...

"I AM SO ANNOYED THAT I HAVE TO WATCH AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR HALF A MINUTE IN ORDER TO WAIT FOR MY FREE ENTERTAINMENT!"

Hmm, something seems wrong with that statement...

I think mainly because we've become so spoiled lately with DVR and such that lets us skip through commericals a lot of the time on TV shows that they had to find another way to get us to notice their products. And to prevent us from skipping it, they probably paid a little extra. I don't mind them too much, but when you have 30+ second unskippable ones, then it feels wrong. If they cannot be skipped, at the most they should be 10-15 seconds, in my opinion.

Though of course: Money.

I've said it a dozen times: the site needs to make money somehow. Unless of course you feel like paying a subscription for your lolzers videos. Which I have a feeling you don't.

Also, capitalise your posts, please.

Ads make money, for this site. I would prefer a YouTube style one though, y'know... something I can close immediately.

It's also for chrome.

I'm SO going to get told off for this.
I hear people got more than told off for admitting they use it/promoting it, so I suggest you edit that.

Yeah, you are. I'd remove that link and stress that you don't use it.

Seriously though, what's the problem with a few adverts? You sit through far more when you're watching TV, and you're (Probably) paying for them!

I would rather this site be run on a shitty server, the programming be shotty, and have it attract nothing! Why? Because then this site will be made with heart!

Seriously, would you guys provide a service that takes at least 5 hours a day without getting paid? The site needs to make money so it can grow.

What the hell is everyone complaining about the ads for????

Quite honestly, if you don't like them, get the membership and *POOF* ads are gone, Just like Fucking Magic!!!!

If you're not going to support the site, and stop complaining.

Course, you could always pay a few quid and skip the adverts like I have...
