Two suspicious things has happened on Gamefaqs for me recently.
First thing happened this morning, while I went over and checked the ToU to see if a certain rule violation was removed or not(it was) I got one of those Ads that cover up the entire screen that allow you to skip them after a few seconds. It was from Myspace oddly enough...
Second thing happened this now. This thing called "ad advisor" wants me to download something, except I never downloaded that or said it could do anything.
So did a rogue ad get in Gamefaqs, or is it just on my end? (I'm scanning with AVG right now)

Yeah, I've seen the same ad. I try to support GameFAQs by allowing the ads, but seeing as I've never purchased anything from any of them, I don't think I'm helping much.
Yes, because you wouldn't have your ad blocker if it didn't have ads.
Seriously that "there's ads" joke isn't funny. Ad blockers wouldn't exist if ads didn't exist so obviously Gamefaqs has ads. The ads here haven't bothered me up until now.

I seriously considered getting adblock finally when they had that candy ad which kept spreading over the 'topic list' section and wanting me to throw ninja stars at eggs or whatever but then Easter passed and the ad went away so I got over it
But GameFAQs is still on its last strike with me regarding ads

Got the same ad yesterday. I, too, complained. Everyone suggested getting Ad Blocker.
The thing is, sometimes I want to see the ads. Sometimes they'll mention a game that looks interesting that I hadn't otherwise known about. What I don't want to see is ads about MySpace that screw up messages I'm trying to post.

Do I? I don't know for sure. It's true that my sense of humor isn't always as relaxed at times...
