Good way to loose about half (at least) of the members.

There are other places that stuff can be put besides INSIDE someone's post.

Very annoying.

And this is only the first thing they've done. Can't wait for every other post to be some B.S. ad.

I also noticed e-bay links popping up in threads recently too, even though we are not allowed to do so.

Maybe they can replace our Avatars with ads, kind of like European football teams.

I agree with Brian.

The threads take longer to load now, have the ads on the main page and not in the threads.
Plus it is for every friggin thread
