    Annoying Statefarm Ad

    So, I don't like the whole noscript or w.e addons to make ads not show up, I know how having the ads show up for me helps keep websites alive and well; but really... this Statefarm ad, I hate it. I hate it I hate it I HATE IT. Can we get a new one asap? XD Too much movement and it's just.... idk, maybe someone else will agree with me, I can't stand it though. On every page, I keep on forcefully scrolling past him because he just distracts me and bothers me. x_x

    I kinda think whoever pays for the space gets it. $ is $ you know? Seriously though ... you should try AdBlock. Not really sure why you're against such things because it really DOES make internet life a little more pleasant. I haven't seen an ad on MMO in a long, long time. If you find that you miss the ads (and I can't imagine why) you can always disable or uninstall it, but I'd give a try and come and sit on this side of the fence where the grass is green, there's a gentle breeze, and everything is serene.

    This is the first ad to truly disturb me, so I don't really see your side as too much greener. ;p I'm just trying to be supportive for *my favorite website* on the whole wide internetz.

    @Lysah, no, no I am not being dramatic at all. If anything, I am being very calm and gentle, he truly disturbs me.

    Can you screenshot which ad it is?

    I can't promise, but if it's really that annoying, I can pass it up.

    oh sorry I just saw that you replied. Looks like I have a Chevy ad now though!
    I think what added to a lot of the annoyance was that it was THE ONLY ad I was getting wherever I went on the site. =/
