For half the day I've been getting a repetitive popup for DirectTV. Yes, I know it's from this site.

Can we put the damn ads back at the top of the page, where they belong?

You could use Mozilla....

And on an unrelated note, the forums seem to be very fast (non-subscriber)

Popup proving screenshot

Notice the DirectTV ad, the properties of the ad showing it's URL, and the source code for this thread open in notepad.

Yup, use Mozilla.

And I have noticed the forums seem much faster today.

He doesn't, but occasionally the ad companies violate the agreements they have.

He yells at them, they pull the ads.

Happened before, will likely happen again.

Pity that they'll be gone soon, the non-subscriber service hasn't been faster in a long time, and with Pop-Up stopper I'm not seeing the ads.

I am letting my subscription expire, then I'll browse Anandtech with Mozilla. Subscribers get ads too. They just aren't pop ups or flashing ads.

What?

What ads do subscribers get? I've never gotten one.
