^ Ok smartass how did you do that? I too am running firefox and I have a big blank white spot on the right. No ads, just a stupid *** white spot.

Now I have part of the autotrader search ad, I couldn't block it all with ad blocker?

the only thing i get is advertisement is denied... i only get on at work when there isnt anything going on...i also normally just click sponsor sites since they were more readily available...now i have to find the sponsors and look through them to find the one that i wanna browse...this new setup sucks...so if google is a new sponsor or what not and we can find a website on google to someone that isnt a sponsor, we can talk about them all day??? it seems like the main sponsors are getting the back door to me...

I'm not having a problem with the back and forth thing either. Maybe that's an internet explorer problem? I'm using firefox.

Like I said before... I hate the fact that the sponsors list is random. And also...lots of non sponsors links are on the google ads...so like someone else said... I guess we can talk about them now? That's just hurting the paying sponsors.

I don't care about Ringtones or Diva Haircuts chat community.

If it isn't broken..don't fix it! I never saw anyone complaining about a long list on sponsors links on the side.

The google ads take up much more space and are annoying and cheap looking.

I knew this would happen as soon as it was stated the site was sold to a corporation.

Money is the only consideration to how things will be done here from now on.

not a fan...I understand the money issue but isn't that why the sponsors pay top dollar to advertise here? i'd be ticked to say the least if i was only getting ad time at random....did they at least get a price reduction where they consulted before this was put into effect?

im guessing NO....

I agree.. but hey, if google ads are the new thing around here and are funding the site...then no need for paying sponsors anymore, right? L1STech no longer needs sponsors money.

We need a site for the people by the people...not a site by Internet Brands, for google.

I'm guessing someone decided to do this a long time ago. That they just put it up today on a Wednesday around a time most people would be at work or maybe school thinking not that many people would notice.
