your ads are getting ridiculous.  i know you have to pay the bills but garbage.  usually i can just put the arrow on sports forums and i can select where i want to go, now it takes 3 or 4 times, then i just have to click on sports forums, just getting old.  at least ease up on the side ads so we can get where we would like to go

maybe it's just my computer now for some reason.  but i use to put the arrow on sports forum, then i could pick "sports forum" or "General Discussion", then for example if i picked sports forum all of the different sports categories would come off the right side and i could pick mlb or nfl.  but now, for example there is a Dodge Journey ad on both sides of my screen.  it's not that big of a deal, just use to the old way, nevermind, you guys do a great job anyway

It's the Google ad stuff.  You will get ads based on your demo.....Age, sites you browse, interest. 

Yeah, pretty scary stuff for sure.  Sometimes there will be an ad that has a few bugs, bad coding and such.  If you want to opt of Google spying on you and just get generic ads, you can opt out.

Look at the top right side of the ads. You will see a little blue arrow.  Click on that and you can opt out of the ads that are "designed" for you.  Also you can change your interest and see ads that you might like.

Also if you like to kill ads alltogether you can run Firefox or Chrome and use the ad killer plug ins.
