the kind that follow you from the top of the page down to the very bottom and don't go away unless you close them each time, note it is in place of the bottom ad

I paid to get a premie account for the sole satisfaction of knowing that you would be spammed with ever-more-interactive and obtrusive ads.

NOW SUFFER!

Just me or is it pretty bad form to suggest 5 different links to adblocking extensions when the very first response is qntmfred trying to fix the issue?
