Advertisement Crazy

I think that there are too many adverts in code guru. Even in the main window where you display the forums 40-50% of the right side is taken up by adverts pushing the text into a small area on the left. I know this place has to make some money to keep going, but its basically been turned into a business. The problem with the ads on the left is that when they have finished, at about 50% down the page, there is just blank unused space which is totally wasted.

www.dev-archive.com/forum is also taken up by 20% adverts at the top with a load more at the bottom.

These have to be cut down or moved to more suitable positions in my opinion.

I've been getting one ad over the past few days that kills FireFox!. Not sure which one it is, but it is a big hassle. I've sent qc reports and error reports, but, can't get any insight. I don't like flash ads. That guy writing on the stall is kind of lame, if you ask me.

I think the guy writing on the stall is funny. I've been in that type of project...

As to the ad killing firefox, it could be an add-in you have installed on firefox. Some firefox add-ins are known to cause issues.

but its basically been turned into a business.

dev-archive is part of a business... The stock symbol is JUPM.
