    I don't think all of these ads are so bad:

    Nice if they could spell "congratulations" wouldn't it?

    Although I have blocked all of these additional advertisements, couldn't we maybe have something a bit more subtle.

    Google's AdSense program seems to fit the bill - customisable, simple and, potentially, useful. Although there is nothing wrong with advertising, intrusive advertising simply encourages the user to block the content using AdBlocking software in their browser - not to click on it. In the end it's often more damaging to the company's marketing campaign than helpful.

    I think banning Ichigo is an option. I'm wondering why no one has suggested that yet though.

    I didn't realize that the ad was put in his sig by him. I thought it was the forum.....

    I recommend banning everyone as an option. That way, no one can complain about it again.

    But does it block the ad in question, however?
