Why does a fullscreen popup ad for HP printer toners come up everytime I visit this site? I close it, and it'll pop back up within seconds. Does this 2-3 times EVERYTIME I come here. Frankly, I won't be reading here much more if this keeps up.I understand advertising but not when it COVERS THE ENTIRE SCREEN AND I PHYSICALLY HAVE TO CLOSE IT! Please stop this obtrusive advertising!

My recommendation would be to use FireFox or Chrome with ADBlock Plus and you won't have to worry about that HP add anymore or any ads for that fact.

This site would be 2006-ish if it wasn't for ads.

^Meh. I liked it better in the good old days where we only had a banner ad. Btw, I don't block Anandtech or Bittech's ads as they don't annoy me.

AnandTech is not nearly as large a company as BoM and does not need to generate the same amount of revenue though. AnandTech operates 2 (?) sites, while BoM has many publications and community websites, and a hell of alot more staff. I'm not sure about Bittech.

Can shadow get a picture of his own cat soon. Sometimes when I post to Shadow, Random gets the message. Should I reinstall to fix this?
