I'm not Happy about all this advertising it wont be long before it gets out of hand then you will be hijacked by search pages etc .Thinking of giving it a miss for a bit .
Hmm, there's no more advertising on the forum now than there was 3 years ago.
We run a single Google ad after the first post, and a fixed banner ad from a direct advertiser at the top of some boards. Same as it's always been, so I'm not sure what you're referring to?
I can assure you that you there is not and will not be malware on TAS that can do anything like hijack your browser. We only use Google's advertising network for external ads.
We'd rather not run ads, but they contribute towards the rental of a fairly hefty server, and we will always try to balance their relevance with how annoying they might be, hence this thread.
